Some parts of the nhs need more spent on it.

There is evidence that the service feels budget squeezed by the level of care been offered.

eg. GP's refusing to come out to patients, obviously if a GP comes out to see patients then he/she cannot see so many in a given space of time so that obviously is cheaper for patients to go to the GP.

When I last was in hospital and had drops put in my eye, ideally the nurse should have put one drop in one eye first, given me 10 minutes or so to see how I reacted and then do the other eye, instead both eyes were done right after the other in a rush, even tho I was in agony right after the first eye and I was then lumped back into the waiting room whilst still in agony. That is a nurse possibly working under pressure (or just been lazy). A lack of personal attention/time given to me by medical staff. Defenitly district nurses the ones who come out to people are under financial constraints and need more help.
