I am posting this review now following a conversation this morning asking for a doctor to call my wife by phone. My wife has overnight come down with a stomach bug that has her puking frequently. She is not the kind of person to call a GP and ask for this unless it really is required, when my wife says to me I can't make it up there, I believe her. The fact that today 22-Dec-2017 is the last business day for GP services normal opening hours (oh for Saturday opening again where you can just walk in) before the Christmas break AND In order not to spread this "bug" I called the doctors to ask if she could get a call back when convenient to speak to a doctor. Within the hour I got a call back from a receptionist to tell me that my wife had been added to the home visit list for today, however, they couldn't guarantee that a GP would be out to see her and that if no one had been before 18:30 hours that We would have to call the out of hours doctors service. I have also chatted with our friendly pharmacist and there are no longer any over the counter "anti sick" medications available, it's all on prescription now, which is fine if one can get to see a GP. So my dear wife is stuck in bed, puking
