Rather sad - when you have departments like Llanelli closing as they
can't find enough staff but a private unit can manage to recruit!
Adrian - if possible, listen to the audio interview on the same web
page. The interviewer is wonderfully sarcastic when she comments on the
£29 fee - "it's a shame that this sort of service isn't available free
of charge....oh but it is!"

(Proof that Adrian isn't the only one mad enough to check his emails at
3am!)

Presumably targetted at the champagne socialists who are presently

Just stumbled across the following on the BBC News website -
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/3159359.stm
It is talking about a private department called "Casualty Plus" that is
being set up in London. It charges £29 for the initial consultation then
£50-£100 in total for most routine "minor" injuries!!!!
If possible, listen to the audio interview of the Chief Executive.
Looking forward to hearing the list's views on this!
Regards
Andy
