Its greatfire Animal you have to make allowances for him talking bollax. Can we give him a free transfer to Barnsley Mad perleeease (and you can have Kerr as well).

It is the worst along with Ireland.

Cancer outcomes are the same as the Czech Republic and Slovenia.

Which means thousands of people are dying of cancer every year who shouldn't be.

It should have been replaced by a Bismarck system ages ago.

As I stated fire you have that choice , there are alternatives if you feel your life is threatened by the NHS .

It's not a real choice though is it, animal? Going private doesn't get you a rebate on your taxes.

The NHS is at a bit of a crossroads. It is not funded adequately and, to my mind, there is a question over whether there is a will to do so. In their 2017 manifesto, Labour were proposing just £6bn extra for the NHS and social care. That compares to £11bn on the tution fee bribe and wouldn't even touch the sides of the funding hole.

The Tories are proposing £20bn extra, with tax rises in the autumn budget, but I suspect the devil will be in the detail.

Visited a French A&E after an accident there in the summer. Not impressed by the wait and lack of triage, but my 30% of the bill was very reasonable.

Don't you claim tax relief on private insurance premiums?

[Exiletyke]

I think that was abolished a long time ago.

I don't think so

[KerrAvon]

Except mine was three hours on a Thursday afternoon.

[Exiletyke]

Except mine was three hours on a Thursday afternoon.

3 hours v 4 hours
Thursday pm v Friday pm
seems pretty similar to me

[KerrAvon]

I don't think so
