The key issue for her is the "whole list of questions" that need to be answered on the form. "Have you got this? Have you got that? Have you got the other - if so, a GP appointment isn't appropriate," she says. "They're just pushing people onto 111 or the A&E service."She sounds angry but she of all people has sympathy for the receptionists - she was one herself for a decade, from 1997.

Eye-opening commission from @dailytelegraph - are #GenZ increasingly aiming to marry for money? Not just high salaries but family money; inheritance Jane Austen-style. Some admirably honest interviewees, interesting fallout from high cost of living. https://t.co/sm5KMHHOi9

High funeral costs drove these families to #crowdfund - more are doing this than ever. One widower with two little girls spoke of the shame he felt, but it was only generosity on @gofundme which allowed him to give his wife the burial she had asked for. https://t.co/O2NWAqCino
