I sympathise with Simon Hattenstone (Tried using the new online GP booking system? I have – and it was almost as miserable as my chest infection, 10 December). Filled in the online form, requesting a face-to-face GP appointment, received an email offering a phone call with a pharmacist. Rang reception to explain that I needed to see a GP and she said she couldn’t make appointments – everything had to go through an online form. It seems you have to be almost dead before you can see a GP.

Regarding the wild beaver spotted in Norfolk (‘No one knows where it came from’: first wild beaver spotted in Norfolk in 500 years, 7 December), obviously it’s come from Ambridge – that explains why there’s not been much coverage of the beavers since their release. Please let Rex and Kirsty know where it is – they’ll be frantic with worry.
