I watched the Channel 4 news report about the ambulance service. It's quite frightening the number of taxis that are being used instead of ambulances, even for a woman that had pre-eclampsia. Apparently only about two percent of private ambulances have paramedics.
We definitely need more paramedics. They saved my life two years ago.
The person who brought up the idea of charging for the NHS was Lord Prior. He wants to have an enquiry into an insurance based NHS, which has just been discounted by the last enquiry. Obviously the last enquiry did not come up with the right answer.
Lord Prior was in charge of the CQC until he was made a lord. Now we know why.
