SIXTY YEARS ON...

Life is full of good stuff. When there's the bad stuff we have the NHS. So on that note I just want to say a thank-you to the staff at Wythenshawe Hospital who are looking after my dad - who was rushed into hospital last night but will hopefuly be sorted and back home after a couple of days..
I never fail to be heartened by the unfailing kindness and helpfulness of those who work long hours for low wages and reassure us when our loved ones are ill. I only wish the Government would recognise and reward their dedication more.
At least in this country we have a healthcare system which is still the envy of the world. Let's fight to keep it that way.And also fight against any moves to continue the privatisation programme which would outsource and boost profits of the private sector
