Seems we have two interesting threads going on here both about the NHS and the services it provides, and it raises an interesting conundrum, on one hand we have a young person who has never paid a penny into the system requiring treatment and on the other hand we have someone who is obviously a few years older requiring treatment ,and has probably paid into the system all his/her life ....so who gets first/biggest bite at the apple , in a perfect world both would get equal treatment but we know life isn't that way ...most folks below a certain age will say the young un should get it , they haven't had a chance to live yet .......on the other hand older folks will say I've paid all my life I should get first bite.
So I invite everyone to play Solomon and say which way they think treatment should be offered to first , the young un or the owd wrinklie and reasons why.
