TWO letters arrived fo me today from the NHS. The first said we haven’t received your sample back for the bowel screening programme. The second said we HAVE received your sample and gave me the results.
Money cannot fix this kind of wastefulness, meanwhile we do not get the health treatments we need due to lack of funds. I have a litany of similar examples, it’s so dispiriting 😭

Same as PP, I worked in NHS and can vouch for their wastefulness. It’s one of the reasons I left, it didn’t sit right with me.

I've had several procedures over the last few years and the amount of duplicated letters and literature they've sent me is unreal.

I worked for the NHS for 20 years, they are beyond wasteful.
