Really? I find the NHS in England and Wales a total pile of crap that's why I actually paid to go private for an op in London yesterday.

My experience of both English and Welsh NHS run hospitals are just chaotic and the staff overworked, underpaid and despondent. My mother worked 16 hour shifts as a nurse 6 days/nights a week even over Christmas/New Years and would often not even get a break to have a biscuit.

Saying that atleast the Welsh hospitals can provide the bare essentials aka a pillow.

4 years ago Shocked wasn't even the the word when I was in hospital in Charring Cross London and the nurse came to tell me there was no pillows available so I lay there for 9 hours flat on my back staring at the ceiling with a mangled arm listening to a boy behind a curtain crying in agony whilst a nurse was draining some gunge from his ball sack.
