NHS, don't ever complain

Hi Pat, sorry to hear about your wife`s illness. Awful situation you’re in.
Any others interested can read about your own situation in the ExPat forum where you’ve already put some excellent posts explaining the whole system there. As you noted the company you’re on for seems far better than most.

On a wider point the NHS gets a lot of stick here and most of it is IMHO unjustified.

We in the UK spend less of our GDP on health than many other western countries but we still have politicos shouting about efficiency. Do those politicians calling for tax cuts rely on the NHS or private healthcare? Will they be affected by cutting funding? The largely private US system spends more Gov money per capita than the UK spends in Gov and private combined !
Seems to give the lie to those who say privatization is the way to go.
