@conservativeCBr@jk_rowling I once went to a job interview and at the end I explained that I'd already been offered a job elsewhere. The interviewer asked me if I knew how to get to their place of work. Not sure why.
@DavidGHFrost@KathrynPorter26 And recently my wife went to a hospital on a Sunday morning for a scan but the locum had not told the unit so she was turned away. Surely they should have exercised some common sense and scanned her anyway? I am sure that he was paid well for that shift!
@DavidGHFrost@KathrynPorter26 I am convinced that much of it due a failure of systems rather than funding. Our daughter nearly died in 2008 due to misdiagnosis and the hospital not prioritising correctly. She was a few months old but they looked at an older teen with a vomiting bug first. We also went by car.
@KathrynPorter26 That is truly awful. I suspect that it is the system not funding. The Increase in population and doctors strikes won't help. Our youngest daughter nearly died in 2008 due to delayed diagnosis of intususseption. We took her by car not ambulance so were not prioritised.
@afneil Just for the sake of the argument say the coal mines hadn't been shut down in the 1980s and had lasted until 2024. Ed would have closed them as soon as he could.
