We are told this government has pumped billions and billions and billions of pounds into the NHS. Figures are fired off by Mr Brown, about how many new nurses, how many new doctors we have. Where the heck is it all? Everyone I spoke to said the place was better 10 years ago.

also why are there only 3 ambulances fer the whole of burnley @ pendle,if radio lancs is to be believed? n why do you want to know why they cant afford both? when yer perfectly happy to wait n see, stop playing politics n bother a bit about "Real People":rolleyes:

We all say, Andrew, that things were better 10/20/50 years ago ... whatever. Problem is medical science has moved on so much, that there are more treatments to be had to treat many conditions, so more stress on services.

Ok, 10 years ago, you may have got better service but died, now they have the knowledge to save you, so more pressure and demands to administer these advances, etc.

Re: Have your say

Have been in the outpatients up at royal blackburn this morning and in the ENT unit, the max fax unit, xray and a couple of other places i saw notices for questionaires for the patient to fill in but you would have to ask the receptionist for one but the notice also makes a point of saying that the patient seals the questionaire and so no one else sees it till its opened.

Re: Have your say

I was there today as well and never saw any questionaires, not saying they aren't there but they certainly aren't placed any where prominent.

Think everyone understands that, hope you are okay. Was just saying never saw any myself and we did pick some info up so not like we weren't reading anything. Seems like a bit of a half hearted attempt to me but will stand to be put right if anybody knows different:)

The Telegraph stated that on 2½ days a week the hospital cannot cope. So all you have to do is arrange for your accident or sudden illness to occur during the other 4½ days then you will be fine.

The problem is that some clown in Whitehall decided to apply the “just in time principle” that is used in the manufacturing industry to hospitals.

But I know how they can solve the problem at a stroke.

Sack some of the managers, and with the money saved open up a new ward and staff it with nurses etc.
