What does Lloyd George problem summary mean on your medical history?

Answer 1

All GP surgeries did this, when switching from paper to digital. It does not mean, as previously implied, that you were considered a 'time-waster'.

I am a research nurse at multiple GP surgeries, and all files contain this around 2005.

Answer 2

An internet search shows that a Lloyd George summary is a summary of older records that were culled and summarized in a shorter statement. There doesn't seem to be any derogatory connotation, contrary to what's written below. Supposedly, "Lloyd George" indicates an envelope size in the UK, and so a Lloyd George summary is a condensation of information that was old and discarded so that the medical record of many years could be brought down to reasonable size.

I think it means the same as Aneurin Bevan Problem.

It's a disguised form of derision, it is suggesting that you are a hypochondriac. No idea how it relates to Lloyd george. The original term was William Gladstone Problem. Not many people know that gladstone had a mistress in Wales, who was known locally as 'The Old Gladstone Bag'

The previous contributor was correct, the Dr is trying to say that you are a timewaster, making frequent visits over trivial matters. A couple of years ago i was in the surgery and the Doctor left the room for a couple of minutes; i glanced at the computer screen showing my records to find @Lloyd George Problem' It was a very nasty surprise.

Further to the previous answers, a man in Shotton, reported the matter to the NHS and received an apology and £50, by way of compensation for the insult. You need to talk to your GP to find out why he has this opinion of you.
