She said she's willing to take on the three-hour drive so her children can be seen by a doctor.
A woman claiming to be mother-of-three from Shropshire says she drives three hours to West London to see a GP due to the "shocking" healthcare services in the county.Speaking to radio host Nick Ferrari on LBC this morning, Sophie from Shrewsbury called in to discuss the"shocking" healthcare services in Shrewsbury and Telford.
She claimed that"everybody is terrified" and that residents were"desperate" to get private healthcare, as doctors surgeries are full and that people are waiting weeks for appointments if they do manage to get one. Sophie, who moved back to the county from Fulham just before lockdown, went on to explain that her four-month-old daughter suffered badly at that time from tonsillitis.
She said:"She had tonsillitis really badly and couldn't breathe properly couldn't swallow and they said 'no we can't see her we wont even have a telephone conversation with you'." Luckily, Sophie said that she lives next to consultants who helped her after they said her daughter needed to be on urgent antibiotics.
