It sounds like a way of encouraging people to go to primary care rather than A&E, however it would put my surgery about a 30min walk away, if I am sick I am hardly likely to manage an hours round trip
Perhaps it would be a good idea to find out the cost per appointment for Taurus and the ASDA walk in center, each Taurus hub offers a limited number of appointments and incurs significant cost to attract GPs to its service
The govt is pushing for 7 day working, there aren't enough GPs to go round so will cost more to run. Taurus found there wasn't much demand for services later on a sat and over sunday. I imagine there will be a push for a Taurus Hub at the county hospital.
