Sir, – Regarding the current proposal for a costly universal health care system, would it not make sense instead to offer a free annual GP medical with a full range of blood tests to all adults, and to provide some lifestyle, nutrition and fitness advice at that time?
This simple initiative would prevent much chronic disease later with massive savings that could be used to improve public health provision. – Yours, etc,
