Plenty of examples of long waiting times and medical mistakes in England

My friend was insanely jealous of the care I got for my elderly mother . She had to go privately in England .

I have voted for Labour , Liberals , Independents in my time but not the conservatives . I think drakeford should go now but people should be careful for what they wish for .
I'm not saying England is any better or worse. You like many are getting sucked into receiving an unacceptable level of service in the NHS much of the time and making excuses for it. People dying while on waiting lists for a year. Maternity units with high infant mortality because of lax clinical care, people on long term benefits awaiting hip surgery because they cant work until it's done. Abuse of the mentally vulnerable when in hospital.....And closer to home 20. minutes on the phone waiting for an answer from my GP surgery and told...There's 4 doctors on and their all fully booked..try again tomorrow.
The politicians have convinced us that this level of service is the norm, that everybody is working their socks off, but the service is overwhelmed. And we are mugs enough to accept it
