I am completely with Maxross with on the NHS but would go further to say the demise began in the Thatcher years. Having been an NHS employee from the early 70's have witnessed many changes including some of the last 6 years before retiring. The increasing pressure to perform efficiently with a continuing raise in expectations from both management and the public whilst increasingly working with less resources is totally demoralising and to some extent demotivating. I personally feel they are all heroes for sticking with it!! I also agree most definitely with the need for an increase in funding and am sure virtually every taxpayer in the Uk would be happy to contribute extra tax to meet the need.
Referring to the US comparison, earlier this year had a couple of Americans staying who needed to avail themselves of our NHS one with a GP visit and the other to our Pilgrim A&E both were more than well satisfied with the care they received, particularly the one who visited A&E, after a thorough examination investigations advice,reassurance and a prescription, which gave him the peace of mind he was able to continue his trip. He was gobsmacked that it was free at source.
With regards to the 3 foot high letters one of the promoters has already admitted in recent days during a TV interview that not all of the money would go straight to the NHS!!!
