Have you or a loved one worked in the NHS as Staff or Volunteer? Had a life changing operation funded though the NHS? Positive or Negative experience with the NHS system?
I have never lived outside the UK and can’t say I’ve ever lived outside the right of free healthcare but hearing stories of individuals needing to fundraise their own surgery makes me realize I take for granted just how much peace of mind the NHS gives me.
At the same token several news reports are suggesting that the NHS is crumbling under it’s own weight so it’s possible it may not reach 100. It’s clear that the NHS as it is currently is not viable for it’s own long term health. More will need to be done to keep the NHS publicly funded.
I wouldn’t be here without the care I was given by the wonderful folk of the NHS. Covid got me bad and I ended up in ICU for almost two weeks despite being double vaccinated.
Neither my wife nor my children would be here without the NHS as my wife would have died in labour with our first child. The NHS is one of the greatest things we have ever built, and it needs both a lot more investment as well as being run by qualified medical personnel and not used by every government as a political football.
