I wasn't. I was just pointing out some issues.
Though I suppose we trust the NHS to look after us and we pay taxes for it to do so. Seems a bit rough when you've paid in all your life and then there aren't the facilities to help when you really need it.
They should therefore have some reserve for issues like this, even if we know that they would never be able to look after 100% of the sick.
Our god daughter is undergoing chemo at the moment and she has been told that the chances of being able to have all her treatment is slim should the crisis continue, which will shorten her already young life even further.
