General Practitioner, you may get an appointment if you don't work early or if you don't work at all. All appointments are taken from 8:30-8:35, after a long phone wait, before they are all gone.
Access to dentistry IMPOSSIBLE. There is a waiting list of more than 6000 patients (I am not missing any zero) for the NHS attention.
Schools all with more pupils than what they are designed to have.
Good luck
