A place to discuss health issues relating to the UK NHS private care treatments prescriptions etc.
Hi,
Is there anyone on here, who has moved counties and find that the type and level of health care that they receive, varies from county to county.
I've mainly found this with regards to mental health. What we can get in Cornwall was totally different to what we can get in Somerset (or should I say can't get in Somerset). Likewise we have a friend across the border in Dorset with the same diagnosis and the level of care and support she gets is totally different to us in Somerset.
Surely if we are the National Health Service, we should expect to get the same treatment irrespective of where we live.

Hi Cath, you know who i am as i jioned recently to the personality disorders support group. I like the name you have chosen for your new puppy. I totally agree your postcode should not affect the quality of care that you recieve it should be the same across the uk. What person can say that one group of people is worthy of better treatment than another. Big hug, Gillyhope
