    I agree that cerberus's pointless one-liner is useless.

    We need hard fast numbers of delayed appts tied to seriousness of illnesses: the OP complains without any context.

    The OP opined precisely what was reported on the BBC's flagship news program, so if you have any issue with 'context' perhaps you should complain to the BBC? [​IMG] In the meantime, the NHS is in serious trouble, on that every commentator agrees.

    Not in the sense you suggest, at all.

    What the hell does that mean? Don't bother to reply with another one-liner because I'd be wasting my time by engaging with you. This kind of incompatibility often occurs on messageboards. Sometimes it's done to troll someone.

    Stop trolling your own OP. It has been exploded because it was a BS OP. No, you have not shown the NHS is "on the brink" of anything, fellow.

    Check these figures out, fellow ( :rolleyes: ) then come back and tell me if it sounds to you like an organisation which is solvent and administratively trouble-free; that was what the topic of the Today program - a serious lack of funding and dire staffing exigencies?

    Edit - forgot to include link . . .

    Your link does not prove the NHS is in great danger. It offers services in a timely manner in relation to the seriousness of the patient.

    Are you British?

    And a supplementary question - if so, do you have a private health scheme?

    Don't worry, they'll bring in a bunch of Somalis to take care of everyone.

    What's the current status of the NHS in terms of being able to take care of patients?

    Hahhahaha!

    Omg !

    They've shut down all non-critical services. If it's not going to kill you in the next couple of days, too bad, you wait.

    Well at least then the NHS will have its own in-house interpreters for Somalia patients, instead of having to hire them from private providers at prodigious cost, much like they hire nursing agency staff at prodigious cost. Stop the world, I want to get off!

    Indeed it is - or at least soon will be. Wherever you live, don't let it happen to you.

    If it wasn't for the professionalism and dedication of the staff, the NHS would have imploded long before now. As for the the rabble-rousing Corbyn pledging yet more money, I have one thing to say - 'The NHS doesn't need more money, stupido, it needs politicians to stop it being abused every effing weekend.'
