After a weekend PR offensive, Gordie had his "sofa moment" with Fiona on GMTV on Monday.
Gordie deigned to inform us plebs that he wants the NHS to focus on preventative measures.
Brilliant. So as Fiona gently pointed out, forget about all this nonsense about people picking up hospital-based infections, cancer cure rates being one of the worst in the civilised world and people having to wait weeks to see their GP.
Forget all that.
Let's prevent illnesses in the first place.
Brilliant. In a way he has a point and, as he is Prime Minister, he's right to finally let us into some of his "vision" for the country.
But the screening and preventative measures happen already and it is not clear that further extension of check-ups is money well spent.
And what extra resources are going to be made available to doctors to do all these check-ups? It is not clear.
And once doctors identify people with a problem will there be extra resources to treat it? It's not clear.
The details are all going to be worked out in February apparently.
But it did give us all a wonderful Gordie sofa moment, so that's all right.
