Probe into fundraising at doctor's.
No sooner do things start to calm down at Langport Surgery after the Angel Fish attack earlier this month which saw a pensioner dragged into the waiting room aquarium...than another controversial issue raises its head at the practice. There are allegations that the current fundraiser to help pay for automatic doors on the front of the building is just a sham - and that the practice manager in fact intends to buy a second hand pair from One Stop for fifty quid.
"It's not so far fetched actually" said a spokeswoman for the convenience shop in the car park precinct, "we've got an old pair out the back, although the surgery would have to come and free up a scratchcard user who's been stuck in them since last Christmas...which is when we stopped using them."
Carry On Langport went to the surgery and asked for an official comment but we were sent away and told to ring after 8 o'clock tomorrow morning - either that or phone NHS Direct and speak to an Indian in Cardiff. We also approached the girl on the till at One Stop for her take on the situation but she only asked us if we'd like a bag. There are no further details.
