NHS boss now suggests we see a GP by Skype.
Patients should see their GP by Skype as it would help reduce the toxic emissions from traffic fumes. Which are silently increasing the risks of serious illnesses. The NHS could help hugely by cutting back on unnecessary journeys. When Staff and patients travel to hospitals and GPs and other health centres it adds up to approximately 9.5 billion miles every year.
Simon Stevens the NHS boss said switching to video consultations on smartphones or computers would be a simple contribution to air pollution reduction.
In the UK it is estimated that 40,000 deaths are caused by air pollution each year.
