The Telegraph recently published an article claiming that on average hospital waiting times are up despite extra spending by the Labour Government. Discussion regarding the accuracy of the report continues, but rightly or wrongly, this form of continued negative publicity for the NHS is certainly unsettling the nation.
Figures published in 2006 clearly shown an increase in the trend towards self diagnostic and treatment by consumers for minor ailments and injuries at home. Negative publicity is undoubtedly driving factor in the increase demand, but self treatment at times, has even been encouraged by the Government and industry lead initiatives in part to relieve pressure on the NHS.
With a wealth of information now available by means of the internet, advice lines and publications etcetera, it is no surprise that people are looking to these sources for diagnosis and advice rather than having to wait at accident an emergency department or for an appointment at their doctor's surgery.
