I hope all is going well with Willow. My thoughts are with you and your family. Take care. xxxx

On the other note, yes treatment is free at the point of delivery, meaning when the treatment is delivered to you you do not have to pay any money there and then, but you do have to pay in other ways ie NI contributions. I agree that is not why it was set up because when NI contributions came in, in 1918 the NHS didn't exist, but when it was introduced the government had to decide where to take the money from, and NI was the obvious choice.
