maybe I should have writen this last week...
Dear Successive governments,
please, please, please leave the NHS the fuck alone! You and your continuos changes for changes sake, endless mountains of paperwork and so called "experts" who draw huge salaries and only manage to piss off the already over burdened staff. The Health service in general and hospitals in particular should be run by doctors and nurses. You can not run a hospitals like businesses - they will not turn a profit that's not what they're about; you seem to have lost sight of that along the way. Having been around this cold world and seen systems from New York to Nepal I can say that the NHS continues to hold a very special place in my heart. It's fixed my bones, healed my wounds and even managed to cure that strange rash which I must have got from sharring a towel - honest. In all that time I have been treated as a person not a number by staff who some how managed to smile, my hat is always off to them.
So politicans let them get on with it, give them what they need to do the job they get paid for and return the NHS to the world leader it once was.
Yours a grateful paitent.
