Happy Birthday NHS

Happy Birthday NHS, yes 70 years old today. One of the best things this country has produced, lets hope it gets the things it needs to help it grow and succeed.

Long Live the NHS, I do hope we can hang on to it. I agree, one of the best things to come out of our country but unfortunately its far too overstretched these days and people abuse it.

Re: Happy Birthday NHS

My grandmother was interviewed by Holly and Phil today in relation to the NHS’ 70th birthday, she has been involved in the NHS since the beginning.
She’s been on a trolley in the corridor of the Halifax General since 1948.

Re: Happy Birthday NHS

Well I truly hope the NHS survives another 70 years at least but it needs some serious changes and it's not all about the money. No doubt other countries will look after us should the NHS ever cease.

Re: Happy Birthday NHS

A lot of the money must be going on pensions.

Both my wife and I are on NHS pensions.

Do you find that disturbing?

Re: Happy Birthday NHS

I don't know where I'd be without the NHS. They often come under some criticism for wasting money, but all large companies waste some money.

They should be funded more as they are at breaking point and many people abuse them.
