This subject was debated on Thursday night at Full Council and a motion passed to write to the government to consider amending the act. However, the local Conservatives had walked out by this point and took no part in the discussion.

Having had several major operations in the past two years on the NHS I fear for the future of the health service. I certainly couldn't have continued working if I hadn't had the surgery, therefore taking more out of the system in benefits and paying much less back into it in tax.

I simply couldn't afford to go private, it does concern me that we seem to be moving towards the American system.
