We should look at the structure adopted by other countries that we consider offer a better service than our NHS. Unfortunately it is now a political football and we need a non-partisan National discussion about what to replace it with. Just throwing more money at the problem is not the long term answer. Even the Labour shadow health secretary is beginning to accept this. It’s becoming more and more obvious that it’s the structure that is not fit for purpose. In real terms it’s cost now is 10x what it was in the 50s. Initially it cost 3.5% of GDP, it’s now in the region of 7%. When initially set up, the NHS cost was justified on the basis it would save more than it would cost in the medium term. I can only give my account of how it was and today I feel gratitude. I can only today feel grateful that I am here today to write this account and my son is alive. The NHS gets very bad press and people have a right to feel angry if they are in misery with pain and are afraid. Yes we were lucky when I read the awful accounts of people waiting in corridors and the awful time they have being attended to today. Yes there were down sides -I noticed like certain lavatories were out of use longer than they should have been as I had a very dodgy stomach post op. I was astonished by the attention he was given. He was admitted to a special unit where he literally had one to one treatment. It turned out he had severe sepsis and was nearly dying. In the same year my son had to drive himself to the same hospital in a delirious state because the ambulances were busy. Eventually after finding nothing they gave me blood transfusions and in the end was able to operate - I had to wait for a space for some time as it is quite a turnover.

They gave me every test they could in that they screened my whole body I would say.

This meant they could not operate until they had discovered the source of the the problem. It turns out as well as needing a triple bypass I had anaemia quite badly which I was unaware of. I can only say the care I was given was outstanding. It sits only a few miles from the city of Donetsk, which Russia has occupied since 2014.OK I was 2 hours waiting in A&E when I had unusual chest pains but once I was seen I was admitted to hospital for nearly two months.

But for the better part of a decade it carved a bulge in the front line that undermined critical Russian logistical operations. The now-destroyed city of Avdiivka covers only some 12 square miles. Avdiivka Russia captured a longtime Ukrainian stronghold. Here is the status of Russia’s offensive in five critical battles:ġ. Russia’s assault has split into five major lines of attack, spanning towns and cities across much of the front in eastern and southern Ukraine. Russian forces captured the longtime Ukrainian stronghold of Avdiivka before dawn on Saturday, Moscow’s first major battlefield gain since it took Bakhmut last May.īut across the entire 600-mile-long front, Ukraine is short on ammunition without renewed American military assistance, and it is struggling to replenish its own depleted forces after two years of brutal fighting. Ukraine is engaged in a desperate fight to hold back the Russian onslaught.
