3 weeks ago i spent 5 nights in hospital,took 9 hours til i got to lay down on a trolly and 21 hours to get a proper bed,the staff and treatment i got were first class but if the could magic another 20 beds overnight in the Cumberland infirmary overnight it still wouldn't be enough,was reading about HS2 yesterday and the cost per mile has risen to a staggering £394m,imagine if that money was spent on building new hospitals and dental practices.
