  Vic - no the NHS is very far from being the best there is. That is not to say that much of the treatment is not good and is not to denegrate the people working the system. It is the system that is no good - in fact it does not stand up to what is delivered in healthcare outcomes in most EU countries. I have said it before, nobody in Germany would want to swap their system for ours.
  
  This rigid myth about how good the NHS is, is preventing us from getting the much better health system we all deserve. Politicans and that includes Conservative ones, have to pray to the great god NHS for fear of losing votes. That is so sad and prevents improvements to the system. Too many people are just so close minded about the NHS and will not condone any radical thinking abouit it. This is very unhealthy. if you were really as open minded as you regularly claim Keith you would question whether we should get rid of the NHS, as I did a while back. In my assessment it fell a long way short of what people in this country need and deserve.
