NHS ? ..... What NHS ?.

[bigpaul]

the NHS is creaking at the seams and is on its last legs, it is short of many Doctors and Nurses.
our local health centre has no regular doctors, sometimes they can scare up a locum to work one day a week but normally there is none, one has to travel 13 miles each way to the head practise but with no public transport not everyone has a car.
the nearest emergency hospital is 25 miles away and that takes 1 hour in a car on our rural roads.
we used to have a helicopter that is funded by a charity to take the worst cases to hospital but I have not seen that since before the pandemic.
many people cannot get an NHS dentist and cannot afford to go private.
