I agree basic first aid should be taught, there are organisations like St Johns ambulance that run courses, it's encouraging people to go.
The loneliness issue is the most upsetting, these proposals will leave a lot of elderly people stranded, I hope there's a safety net for them?
There is the very valid poin sheriff made that some may just not have £10, and put off going ultimately costing the NHS more when they're rushed into A&E? Another downside is it puts doctors in a vulnerable position, if someone pays £10 they may feel they need something to show for it, being told their problem is a virus requiring no treatment may lead to aggressive behaviour?
