This is a decision by one GP surgery, not the Govt.
the entire edifice of the practice of medicine and the popular delusion of "carbon footprints" has been enabled and supported by the government, and God only know what sorts of penalties and incentives by governmente are applied to physicians and any other practitioners who are forced to look to the government for permission to work and to collect payment to bring the warped logic to bear on ordinary people.
OMG you really don't get that?
