On the last few occasions, I have phoned at 8am for emergency appts for my wife and got appts within the hour. Sure the NHS has its faults but what the Tories are proposing is just the start of a slippery slope towards what all Tories really love...putting money before people.

I heard a complaint by one of our patients (I work in a hospital) who said that the Doctor was rude to her. What had happened was that the patient had trotted out that old chestnut about the NHS being like a third worl"d system and the doctor had replied "where I come from, you'd be left to die in the street". People are too quick to moan and gripe about the NHS. Of course, we all have a choice right now to pay for private medical insurance.
