[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 8180439, member: 54866"] 5pm is when ED begins to get busy. A queue of ambulances is not an automatic cause for alarm. Screening tests such as these [I]may[/I] be incentivised by the government and so the practices of service providers may appear to be operating in a way that makes utterly no sense to you but it will be financially advantageous to them. It's not all as black and white as the public thinks it is. The case in point is the repeated use of the term 'NHS' in this thread. There is no such single entity. If you tried to point the NHS out as an actual thing to me you would fail as it simply does not exist. The healthcare provided to the UK is split up across many different organisations and providers in a huge collage of geographical and organisational boundaries. Some of them will invariably be privately owned, so arguments that it should all be privatised could well be rather flawed. All these different providers are monitored (and punished or even rewarded) by the government which has setup a complex set of goalposts through which they would like care to be delivered. Some providers may be more successful at achieving these goals than others and as a customer in the system your mileage may vary as well. [/QUOTE]
