  Alas Paul I think a lot will be cut, the computer prats feed information in to their machines to see where greater efficiency can be achieved, trouble is computers can't predict the patient that takes half an hour to check out when it should be 15 minutes.
  Some people on here continually criticise the NHS, I was discharged from Kent & Canterbury last week. I can only say that the standard of care I received was excellent, the nursing staff were faultless and the doctors gave me a daily update as to whether I was responding to treatment.
  What I did notice was there was only a few nurses running a very busy ward and seemed to work extremely long shifts, under in some cases very difficult circumstances. For example an old gentleman refused to be treated by anybody coloured, saying to one young nurse,"leave me alone, I don't want no effing n....r touching me."
  The best thing the crititics of the NHS can do is pay for Private treatment but just don't expect treatment on demand and don't expect to be a patient, you'll be a customer.
  Sorry if I rambled a bit and Howard I'm not getting at you but those that think they are better than the professionals. Ramble over.
