Needless to say there were objections galore but the plans were passed anyhow. <BR/>I had occasion to visit it today. Two surgeries share the same building. There are two receptionist at two counters on the ground floor whos sole purpose is to tell patients that the surgeries are on the first floor. Upstairs there are two more receptions, two waiting areas etc. The cost of this monstrosity? God knows. <BR/>What I do know is that there are two perfectly useable modern buildings standing empty in the town centre. Both are within easy walking distance of the bus stops. The one nearest my office has a handy covered area where the winos can sit out of the rain, so I suppose it serves some purpose.<BR/>These polyclinics are a waste of time, a waste of money, are built in unsuitable locations against the wishes of the staff and patients and for what purpose?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448711775318691029noreply@blogger.com
