Second class SIT-IZENS! Row erupts at GP surgery after private patients are given ‘plush’ comfy seats… while NHS visitors are told to use wooden chairs

‘A row erupted at a GP surgery after private patients were given ‘plush’ comfy seats, while NHS visitors were told to use wooden chairs.
Chris Corcoran, 66, said clients who were waiting for a private skincare doctor were allowed to sit in front of a TV in padded seats at The Junction Surgery in Moldgreen, Huddersfield.
The pensioner said NHS eye screening patients were only offered ‘plain chairs’ in front of a ‘blank wall’.
He reported his concerns to staff who he claimed admitted the set up did appear to be a bit embarrassing.
Mr Corcoran took a photo of a sign which enforced the ‘them and us’ seating arrangements.
The sign, which referred to private clients of dermatology clinic Skyn Doctor, said: ‘Diabetic eye screening patients: Please take a seat on the wooden seats only. ‘The coloured seats are for Skyn Doctor private patients only and are being used throughout the day. Thank you.’
