Now with all the other sites which urge you to rate something, there are plans now for you to be able to rate the performance of your local GP online.

There is no truth in the rumour that the "rate the Government" website was shelved because web programmers struggled to find a ratings system that ranged from "staggeringly stupid" to "totally inept".
