If you live anywhere near me then your GP will not see you. There’s no way to legitimately book a regular appointment and you are given the advice to call 111 or go to A&E. They have an “online” system where you take photos of whatever’s ailing you and someone will call you. When I tried that a couple of years ago, the app didn’t work. My impression is that older and elderly people are deiberately given more access to NHS services (but that could be just my perception).
Comment on A&E patients with non-urgent ailments may be told to come back later under NHS plans

Good! If it’s not urgent why are they clogging up A&E?

Because it’s the GPs go to answer when they can’t be arsed to deal with you.
