You know, I live in a relatively poor (thoght there is worse) borough of London and I had no trouble whatsoeaver registering with a doctor (GP). I even had a choice of several different practices within walking distance of my home.

I'm behind on my dental and eye check-ups so I'll try to register with an eye doctor and a dentist shortly. I'll let you know how not-horrible it is.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
