JohnFilmer and MartinR, I can see both your points. The staff are incredible especially when it comes to the more serious conditions. They've certainly looked after you MartinR and I'm sorry to learn of your illness. I hope they 'keep you alive' for many more years. With regard to your comment JohnFilmer, the current government's lack of support for the NHS, is not good enough, we deserve better. They appear to be hell-bent on making the NHS private in the long term. All very complicated as we never know the truth and whether media reporting is to be trusted these days.
