- I have just booked an appointment to see a consultant at my local hospital on the internet. A couple of weeks I went to see my doctor who decided that I needed to see a specialist and he sent a referral letter to local NHS. I then received a letter from a company called Fortis Healthcare Ltd, this gave me instructions on how to book an... more

- The Chairman of the British Medical Association this week accused the Government, the LABOUR Government mind you, of privatising by stealth the National Health Service and running the business of providing care to the sick and infirm in a manner appropriate to a shoddy Supermarket war. When Boggart Blog sought a response to this a spokesman for... more

- Boybands and brawls

- With only 29 days until we move we had a really relaxing weekend with no jobs towards moving getting done at all. On Saturday evening we had tickets for a Westlife concert. I guess attending a boyband concert is one of those ''once in a lifetime... is more than enough" experiences. Certainly the showmanship of Westlife themselves made for an... more

- Bureaucrats like BIG by John Brignell These three words explain much of what is going on in the world today – failed giant computer projects, the EU Supreme Soviet in Brussels, anything sponsored by the UN etc. The epitome of this trend, however, is to be found in Britain’s National Health Service. Money poured in by the Government immediately... more

- NHS - Sixty years on.
- by prydwen

- Like most hospitals the NHS has seen better days and is suffering for it. What seemed like a fantastic idea 60 years ago to allow quality health care for one and all seems to have lost its way. Now run more like a business with top-heavy management systems and poor overworked lower tiers, I think it needs to be severely overhauled to last... more

- SMOKERS OFFERED MONEY TO GIVE UP Smokers in the poorest areas of Dundee are being offered £150 worth of groceries by the health service if they are able to give up cigarettes. Participants in a 12-week scheme will be given £12.50 a week by NHS Tayside if a carbon monoxide breath test proves they have not been smoking. The money will be credited... more

- I'm fond of saying 'the world's gone mad' but today I had proof that it is, indeed, on its way to hell in a handcart.... I've not seen our GP at all in the past 8 years, so since I've been feeling unwell for a while, thought I had better make the effort. I rang up last week, asking for an appointment, only to be told I couldn't even ring and... more

- One of my best friends came round to cheer me up after the horrible experience of seeing a newborn baby on Thursday. We had a few bottles of wine and a chinese banquet and watched romcoms that were bordering on chickflicks but he didn't mind. We ended up getting cosy on the sofa and I turned my phone off after ignoring one call from the boyf. As... more

- An obese couple with a combined weight of 42 stone are to undergo 'his and hers' gastric bypass operations on the NHS - at a cost of £24,000. Roy and Kate Glencross have seen their weight balloon after spending years eating fried food, cakes and biscuits. Roy, 60, now tips the scales at 24 stone and is virtually housebound because his knees need... more

- Common sense - in the NHS!

- At last, one hospital has started addressing "health tourists" with a vengeance. It is about time too. I recall being at a restaurant with a good friend of mine and speaking to a woman from Brazil. She told us the story of how she brought her mother to the UK for treatment that was not available in her own country. Much as I feel sympathy for... more
