the excellent care , time and patience shown by Dr Miles to my wife following a heart atttack which has left her with complex problems is exemplary. She now has the confidence that given time she will make a full recovery with the ability to live a life. A plea on behalf of all who live in Sherborne. We have excellent Doctors but there is not one you can speak to at weekends or over Public Holidays. Could it not be arranged for a Doctor to be available to speak to, 24/7 at these times, based either at one of the practices or at our excellent but underused Yeatman Hospital. Our experience of 111 on Boxing Day was horrendous. Ending with my wife having to be ambulanced into Yeovil at 04.45 in the morning and unnecessarily taking up a bed , Drs and nurses time until discharged at 18.00 hrs. in the evening. No wonder A and E Departments have been under pressure. Had a doctor been available to speak to locally , the ambulance and all would have been unnecessary. Please give this suggestion serious consideration. I am sure from speaking to many friends that it is something that people would be happy to pay for and could alleviate some of the pressure on A and E.Jeremy Barber
