It was disheartening, if predictable, for Dr Rosie Shaw of the Doctors’ Association to excuse the vexatious non-availability of some family doctors over the past year, blaming it instead on ‘chronic underfunding’ of the Health Service.

At 8.30am next morning I started dialling. On the 123rd call, I got through, to be told I was number six in the queue. By the time I finally spoke to a receptionist, no appointments were left for the morning. I would have to try again at 12 noon.
