@AnselSpear @BBCr4today I totally agree here. We wonder whether children will have blue eyes or brown, be girls or boys, be academics or athletes. How dark they might be in a mixed race marriage is only on of many traits a child might carry, that family members think about.

@Fitos40065126 @bselcoe @KimiButNoDrink @BBCBreaking Glad you find it funny.

@briannakirton @bselcoe @KimiButNoDrink @BBCBreaking I am not really convinced. I think he would get the same.

@sleekloon @BBCBreaking Healthcare data is confidential.

@Meesh82585795 @catherinemrtn31 @Calzer9 @LaunchFast @BBCBreaking @BBCNews As I would never buy private healthcare as I am a total NHS devotee, I did not know that. Should the person taking out private healthcare insurance not find out what they are buying?

[Bridget Gunnewicht @gunnewichtb]

@charliepark25 @briannakirton @bselcoe @KimiButNoDrink @BBCBreaking I doubt he would have to wait. Neither did Boris nor would a whole range of celebrities. I think they would have definitely secured the bed before they moved him.

@Fitos40065126 @charliepark25 @briannakirton @bselcoe @KimiButNoDrink @BBCBreaking Few doctors will do a home visit as alternatives are available now.

@Fitos40065126 @briannakirton @bselcoe @KimiButNoDrink @BBCBreaking Really, I have had cancer for 4 years and have and continue to receive amazing care.

[Bridget Gunnewicht @gunnewichtb]

@catherinemrtn31 @Calzer9 @LaunchFast @BBCBreaking @BBCNews All children receiving private care are nursed the same as any other child.

[Bridget Gunnewicht @gunnewichtb]

@catherinemrtn31 @Calzer9 @LaunchFast @BBCBreaking @BBCNews Every UK taxpayer pays National Insurance as well. So effectively if they choose to go privately for treatment, they are paying twice. Where I am pleased is when the money from private patients goes directly into the coffers of any NHS hospital providing private care.

[Bridget Gunnewicht @gunnewichtb]

@catherinemrtn31 @Calzer9 @LaunchFast @BBCBreaking @BBCNews In the event that private patients require emergency care, the NHS is obligated to take the patient, a ongoing bone of contention between both forms of care. That is often how private patients can jump the queue. Otherwise private healthcare delivers routine care well.

[Bridget Gunnewicht @gunnewichtb]

@catherinemrtn31 @Calzer9 @LaunchFast @BBCBreaking @BBCNews However, there is no system for paying back or requirement. Many private hospitals are fully indefinite terms of staff employed, facilities and buildings. Where it comes a cropper is with emergency care which private hospitals are ill equipped for.

[Bridget Gunnewicht @gunnewichtb]

@catherinemrtn31 @Calzer9 @LaunchFast @BBCBreaking @BBCNews That is quite a statement that needs unpacking. All UK training is state managed in the NHS and paid for by the UK tax payer. One might say that UK trained staff working in a private hospital should be paying back money spent on their training up until it has been paid for.

@charliepark25 @briannakirton @bselcoe @KimiButNoDrink @BBCBreaking Fortunately the waiting for care and treatment are not the norm. They are the exception. He wasn’t an emergency admission to either hospital. He could have gone to a number of alternative private hospitals in London or even stayed at home with care bought in.

[Bridget Gunnewicht @gunnewichtb]

@briannakirton @bselcoe @KimiButNoDrink @BBCBreaking Really? What is your evidence? We have world class hospitals delivering world class care. Surely you don’t think they can’t manage to treat a urinary tract infection and do a few cardiac tests, that the next person would be denied? It isn’t a heart/lung transplant he’s getting.

[Bridget Gunnewicht @gunnewichtb]

@Calzer9 @LaunchFast @BBCBreaking @BBCNews Anyone who needs it for a variety of reasons may end up on a private ward. One would hope the man would be allowed to be ill without people continually trying to get photos of him propped up in bed. Staff hate it as much as if not more than the patients.
