    Hopefully the announcements today regarding NHS funding will, over time, improve things.  It's not a magic wand and it will certainly take time for any difference to be seen.  It's also a political pledge and we all know the value of those.  Time will tell.

    Didn’t the Queen in her speech say it was a law that they give this money.
    They're also restoring the bursary for nurses, we are now campaigning for it to be back dated to 2017 when it was scrapped.

    Yes the intention is to enshrine it in law which is obviously a good thing.  The sad part is that the Government clearly thinks the only way a promise is likely to be kept is if it is put into law.
    That's not a criticism of this Government, they have at least acknowledged there is a problem.

    I tried to cancel an appointment yesterday. When I got to seventh in the queue, I got cut off. Fortunately, my husband was able to go down to the surgery in person.
    If they had a special number for cancellations, there might not be so many missed appointments.
    In London. Keen but lazy.
