The NHS

Now I know that the election has finished, support for the NHS seems to have vanished, staffing levels the government said that we needed more nurses and doctors, so much so that many hospitals went abroad to get staff, now it seems as many trusts are overspending (not their fault I believe) so they have been told that they can only replace staff if there is a dire need for that post to be covered, if not they have to leave it vacant, so where does that leave the patient?, as usual up the creek without a paddle, mind you that seems to have been the case for years, cancelled operations and appointments we as the patient have to bear this,  lucky for them that as they are MP's they will always get far better treatment than us, so they do not have the first idea as to what a patient goes through to be treated, I have had to sit  for hours waiting to be seen, many times because they had lost my notes,  I used to take exception to all of this but age has mellowed me a little and now I just can't be bothered, sad really.
