This is the review of the GP surgery I was at - not good but it is only one surgery - http://www.nhs.uk/Services/GP/Review....aspx?id=44382
I would assume though that this website could be used to see the feedback for any GP surgery, and may help those that have more than one in their area to make a choice

Unless you're in a vacuum. Actually, most of the people in this thread are in a vacuum. On both sides

Average weekly earnings in the UK is currently at 2002 levels. It's dropped every year from 2008-2013, squeezing those who are in work against the backdrop of (sharply) increasing utility and housing costs.

Given the financial crisis, it doesn't seem bad to me at all. It is not a realistic expectation that everyone should get richer year by year indefinitely and forever.

Aye, just the bankers and their pals. Wish I could get a big bonus for doing a crap job rather than a 13% effective drop for busting my a**.
