It must be said that these two related issues are not sexy. There are no naked breasts involved. But in a real sense they are scandalous.

The second problem is the Government proposal to abolish GP practice boundaries. (In fact, all parties apparently favour this). This sounds like a good idea, who wouldn’t like to have the option of choosing whatever practice they would like in the whole of England, regardless of where they live? But would it work?
