Last Nights BBC Programme The Hospital

If you did not see it then I recommend you do so on the Iplayer. It was an interesting insight into the comings and goings at Paddington St Mary's Hospital, a real fly on the wall documentary that throws some light on to te problems faced by our NHS. It mirrors my own experience within the system which is truly heading towards breaking point. Despite this, staff continue to do their best while consultants turn up for operations that cannot take place due to a lack of intensive care beds, To see so many highly paid and highly skilled Consultants sitting around awaiting a bedspace is soul destroying. The amount of money spent on the NHS needs to be rechannelled into the areas of greatest need and we as the general public need to stop abusing the system simply because it is free. I am proud of our NHS but without change will it last into the 22nd century?
