Becoming a member of your local NHS

"Becoming a member of your local NHS"

About: Hull Royal Infirmary Hull Teaching PCT Newington Healthcare Centre

(as the patient),

I would just like to say that if anybody reading this has any problems with their sleeping, to keep going to see their G.P. and asking for their help, and to join their local NHS and become a "member".

This will enable them to have a small say in how their area's financial allocation from the Government is spent.

Yes, its definitely a good idea to join your Local area Health Trust and have a say in Local Health matters.

May I say that I've been a Sufferer of Horrible "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" / Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, for Over a quarter of a century, and I still Havn't had a Correct diagnosis or help from the NHS. If this happens to any other NHS patient they can officially complain to their Local PCT, and if they don't get a proper diagnosis or treatment after that, they can contact the NHS Ombudsmans Service and tell me...

Best Regards
