Default Save the NHS

At the risk of getting political on a Friday night...This is an issue very close to me, it will not only impact my future career, but it could affect huge aspects of the lives of every single one of us...

Where were you when you were born - probably and NHS hospital, where were your kids (if you have any) born - probably and NHS hospital, where do you go when you are sick or when you have an off - probably an NHS hospital, will you be when you die - probably in an NHS hospital.

But it will only be OUR NHS if we fight to keep it that way...

The NHS is a valuable thing, probably more so for us who are more likely than most to need some sort of treatment.

If you value the NHS and want to keep it please sign this petition.

Thank you!

until the UK NHS can compete with Spain (for instance) for cleanliness, the number and quality of nurses and doctors, then the NHS will only be an expensive and poorly run luxury. Please note, I am NOT targeting those that actually do work at the sharp end. The phrase "too many chiefs" comes to mind.

Totally agree - so surely adding another level of "chiefs" is a pointless exercise?

the way the NHS operates is a total farce and waste of money - however, I am fortunate enough to be able to live in a country with an excellent system. To be honest, the NHS, in my opinion is way beyond it's sell by date and is undergoing an extended form of euthanasia. Put it out of it's misery and start again. Like many once great British institutions, it is no longer fit for purpose and no amount of tinkering can save it.

Good luck with your petition though, and career.

That maybe so, and I do understand the view point that the NHS is outdated, but I felt I had to post.

I was once proud of Britain, particularly England, and the NHS, but successive governments and the freeloaders they have encouraged have destroyed that.
