sir1963:

GPs get capitation from the PHO for 4 visits a year. If you do 12, the GPs are expected to absorb the other 8 themselves.

Is this the same for children as for adults? Because children seem to require a lot more visits than adults.

I haven't been to my GP for 2.5 years so hopefully I'm helping them survive financially...

I apologise to "MS".

The software which I purchased as a standalone product ....the Company has responded with.....

"looks like you were using Cloud API that we recently turned off"

I've asked them for any options.

At least I know now why it stopped.

AFAIK Yep, it's the same. The ideal patient is while male between 20 and 40 who rarely if ever goes to their GP.

Me on the other hand , I shell out $300 a month on prescribed CBD oil so I do not have a daily continuous migraine.

This is something that annoys me more than just a little bit, which I've mentioned before, that they've made CBD oil legal but made the conditions around it so onerous that it may as well still be illegal, in that it's far easier to get marijuana than CBD oil. Neighbour of mine is a disabled veteran who can halve the morphine (and its awful side-effects) he'd otherwise require by taking CBD oil, but it's almost unaffordably expensive and a huge headache to get. This guy served his country, was badly damaged as a result of that, and now can't even get affordable pain relief.

100% agree, and reality is CBD oil is probably LESS harmful than sugar.
My local cafe owner also has migraines and can not afford the cost so suffers as do others I know.

Lag in Warcraft, lag in Discord, buffering in YouTube, half my Warcraft guild (on different ISPs in different parts of the country) complaining about things not working... and every ISP status page I've looked at saying everything's fine.

I had assumed the several consultancies like this one were making it easy:

Affordable, I have no idea. It might be worth calling Chemist Warehouse. An expensive unfunded thing I needed a few years ago was 40% less compared to one of the mall chain pharmacies. Substantial.

He gets a small subsidy from Veterans' Affairs that means going through a particular provider - I don't know the exact details but I think they've gone through all the options they could and this was the best one.

Watching Aramex deliver to three houses in our little road on a Saturday even though according to them they should have delivered to us yesterday but didn't.

Vodafone selling their "Ultrahubs" to customers knowing full well it becomes a brick once they've moved to a different provider with a different configuration.

we never used it. OTTOMH Rural delivery was always two days for some locations so no point using that service especially for items ordered on a Friday. Further, it wasn’t a guaranteed service so it was like throwing money at someone on the odd chance it might make it
