How many times did you use the NHS last year?

[bumchic]

Me - none
DH - 4 GP appointments for acne
DS1 - one overnight hospital for an operation after shoving a button up his nose, flu vaccine through school
DS2 - flu vaccine
DD - flu vaccine, one consultant appointment for a congenital condition that we have annually

Plus 2 x dentist for all

I think this is quite low. No point to this - there have been years it’s been way higher

Eye test, flu jab, shingles jab. Possibly Covid jab in spring, can’t remember. Repeat prescription for skin condition x4. There are no NHS dentists in my city.

ETA - BCC removal last January. Enough of a hatchet job that the next one will be private - it still itches.

Me: regular repeat prescription, 1 GP appointment, 1 appointment with nurse for blood test that I was invited to because I am old enough
DC1: a couple of GP appointments, a few physiotherapy appointments, 6 CAMHS sessions (they were contracted out to another organisation but still funded by the NHS), an ASD assessment through Right To Choose, 2 ADHD clinic appointments and a few months of 2 different medications
DC2: 1 dentist check-up (the second was cancelled by the dentist at the end of the year and I couldn’t rearrange until this February), flu vaccine

winter; 1 x growth scans,
bloods twice. Vaccines.
two midwife appointments.
glucose test & consult app.

A ridiculous amount.
