Thank you Laurie S for inspiring me to take some interest in this
debacle. As some of you know, I sweated blood for years in the NHS to
which I returned from more lucrative opportunities outside the
UK---because, a bit like Fay and probably most of you here, I believed
in care free at the point of delivery and the good things which cannot
survive in a private profit-driven system. Latterly, I have reduced
what NHS commitment I had, in favour of clinical work in Canada and some
mental health stuff in Ireland and the UK.
But this goddam screw up still affects me, as a patient at least. My own
GP is a few years younger than I and I really do want her to be around
for a bit longer.
Methinks I feel some letters coming on....
