An elderly friend of my mother's had a bad fall in the high street broke her leg. Fortunately, the weather was not as bad as it has been. She had to wait four hours for an ambulance to come. If that means a few quid less each month for those of us in work to cough up, at what stage do we become heartless and say let the elderly wait so we can spend it on ourselves? For everyone will become old some time.
I think that all of us want a more efficient health service, Andrew. The NHS need to move into the current century and make better use of computer systems for a start. However, the whole structure is creaking and badly needs an overhaul and practices need to be made more efficient.

Just pouring money into this antiquated system, which seems to be stuck in the 1970s, is not good enough.
