A friend had to have an X-ray on Jan 4th at the local hospital, at the request of her GP. She has called the surgery several times to see if the results have come back....nothing. This morning, she she called again, but spoke to a different person. Still no results. So my friend queried why it takes so long to get results back from a local hospital. 'Because they have to come from Morocco' , she was told.

Yes....MORROCCO! Apparently, X-rays are sent to Morocco for diagnosis. How ridiculous is that? Is there no one in this country that can look at X-rays and diagnose? Probably yet more outsourcing of services, done on the cheap. The NHS is doomed.
