The NHS

[ronnie21]

My wife has just come home from work and relayed a story about the lady who works with her and that lady's sister.  The lady's sister has been suffering for a long time now with feet problems and has now got to the point of not being able to walk unaided.  After almost two years of seeing various doctors, registrars and finally a consultant she got put on the list for an operation - she was told that in view of her chronic condition she was going to be classed as an emergency.  That was four weeks ago, yesterday she received a phone call to tell her that she would not be getting the operation as they had run out of funds for this type of op!!  We are under two months into a new financial year for the hospital and they have run out of funds!!!  Was this what Cameron meant when he said the NHS would be safer in his hands than under any other potential goverment?

Totally agree with you Arriba, grandaughter came home from Swindon Academy yesterday to tell her parents that the uniform is going to cpmpletely change and they would have to wear a blazer, blouse, skirt and tie - the school colours are changing as well so any uniform presently worn is going to be obsolete in September.  To soften the blow the Academy is going to provide existing pupils with free blazers and ties this time.  What a total waste of money - especially as the school was highlighted in the Adver earlier this week as morale is at an all time low amongst staff due to massive cuts and redundancies.  Priorities wrong I would say!!

Wonder if it would even be physically possible to bone that

Wrong thread flashheart, I'm presuming?!

[Flashheart]

Oh deary me.

Yeah, I was supposed to post that in the fat chick thread.

Thing the main problem with the NHS is that it is measured on quantity and not quality, something which Labour brought in to make it look like the NHS was working better than it was. As a result they aim to meet targets and use any tactics they can to break the rules, they might meet those targets but the patients suffer in the process.

But nothing changes the fact we're broke and there simply isn't the money to pay for everything.

[yeo]

Yes, but John Terry will be paying less tax this year.

We're all in this together

Maybe, although mine was a few years ago and the procedure may have changed now, certainly got a bit uncomfortable towards the end!!  Best of luck for tomorrow anyway!
