I know how to save the NHS money

Yes, I agree. And I heard recently that some hospital, somewhere, is changing the name of the A&E to ED. So that means changing the displayed names both indoors and out.
A sheer waste of money. Who thinks up these things?

I've often wondered why all hospitals and medical centres seem to have all the lights on all day - it would save some money if some/all of them were switched off.

Do you have a medical history that involves constipation, that might require some preparation? confused

I seem to remember that the letter asks you to let them know if you don’t want to participate, so they wouldn’t need to send you the testing kit. I’m still under the care of the colorectal cancer team so I don’t need to participate, but I still got a letter. I just let them know to remove me from the program,

Have had a letter from the NHS this morning, telling me they are inviting me for bowel cancer screening (so far so good!) and that my screening kit will arrive in 2 weeks. Why are they fore- warning me, why not just send the kit???
