that sounds too much like common sense to me margaret. its a dying trait of people nowadays and they try to call it a symplistic solutions. the thing is those at the top do not have any solutions trying to keep everyone happy at the same time.

is a common sense approach. Not really simplistic. Why would you make things more difficult to work out? You would only do that if you were working to some hidden agenda(and that might be the case here....make NHS care so difficult to access that people will beg for privatisation. I am not saying that this is what is happening here, but just conjecturing)
Many of the problems which are deemed 'insurmountable' are of little interest to those in high places, because they are untouched by these issues...so there is nothing in it for them.
They are not inconvenienced by having to wait for their cataracts to be treated...or have a new hip or knee...or just see a GP.
I feel pretty damn sure if these issues DID impact on their lives, then there would be a lot more invested in finding solutions.
Call me cynical if you like,but that is how I see it.
