SIR – I welcome the move towards more face-to-face GP appointments.
However, there need to be fewer pointless ones for things like broken nails. If only those who genuinely needed appointments were seen, the service might be considerably less stretched.
I think initial phone consultations can be a good thing, along with the use of 111 to triage A&E.

SIR – It is good to know that patients have the right to book face-to-face consultations with their GPs.
Now all we have to do is get through to them on the phone or persuade them to respond to emails.
Ships fit for a Duke of Edinburgh: a history

This idea has a precedent. The first HMS Duke of Edinburgh was named in accordance with the wishes of King Edward VII, to honour his younger brother Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh following his sudden death in 1900.
In contrast to Prince Philip, who had to abandon his naval career to support the Queen, Prince Alfred was able to pursue his career, which culminated in his appointment as the Commander-in-Chief, Devonport, from 1890 to 1893 in the rank of admiral. He was promoted to admiral of the fleet on June 3 1893 and became the reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha that August.
