I hope you didn’t feel that I was ‘getting at you’ Chris and certainly no offence was taken. I think, as Mike has said, different surgeries appear to be taking different approaches, each with their own individual set of circumstances. My sister was quite amazed and annoyed that I haven’t had my yearly ‘type 2’ checkups this year. At the same time the local Eye Infirmary cancelled my six monthly check up with my consultant but at least they wrote letting me know they had, unlike the surgery and local diabetic clinic. I’m wondering if and when they will start to reschedule any of these.
