Why don't the UK adopt the same "pay up front" principles as in the State hospitals in Turkey?
Make an appointment - go and pay - if you don't the Doctor sends you out to pay.
Need some tests - issued with the test request forms - go and pay or you won't get your results.
Need admitting - go and pay.
All monitored through the computer system.
The onus is on the patient...not as in the UK(sue society)- where millions are wasted in administration costs chasing patients, results, etc..
The Turkish system is much simpler - it's your life - take responsibility for it & don't expect an underfunded/overworked/exploited system to cushion you.
