Thank you
Lets keep it real
No one I've seen is saying that NHS is total rubbish.
I too have had good experiences as has my family, but we've had poor experiences via a mass of waiting lists. We've been lucky on the whole as once they get hold of us, they do often speed thengs up, but its often getting that first appointment which could be longer than NICE guidelines for some!!
We've also read about people having their cancer treatments delayed and that is a sad fact of events but no one is denying there is a lot of good things in the NHS
It's no good burying ones head in the sand as millions complain about not being able to get hold of a gP, EG, you are not well, cant go into work, need the money but many spend a long, long time on the phone trying to get through and when they do, told to call tomorrow as all appts booked
No one I've read on a forums has ever said its all bad but we need to akcnwodlge there are massive problems. Most of us acknowledge that most of the staff are good but appointments at GP and hospital waiting times need improving along with some streamlining when you see a hospital doctor after weeks and then you wait for a test, then you wait for another test, then another test, then a doctors appointment then you get a date to start treatment etc - more streamlining required
Yes, a lot of NHS experiences are good once you get in there but a lot to improved as above and in A&E
