Asking my hairdresser to provide unlimited haircuts for less than £3 a week, including online booking & an immediate response to emergency shave at 1min before closing
That’s a NO😂😂
Meanwhile the GP practice - Wes says you must do all that & more

Already over 6000 Neighbourhood Health Centres in England
GP Practices have lost 20% real terms funding since 2016, if they hadn’t they would be better able to provide the care patients need
Still 31m appts/month
Fund GP practices properly & they’ll do the rest with less funding & quicker

So proud of this campaign. Writing the script was quite emotional for me, as these are all real life examples. Sadly often followed by abuse for “not answering fast enough”. Please be patient. You don’t know what happened on the call they just took.
