Now, I'm sorry to go on a bit of a rant when relating this sad news, but it's so important. As is always the case, the NHS doctors and nurses were incredible. If you ever find yourself angry at NHS waiting times, stop for a moment. and remember how fast everything was back in 2010. Then ask yourself what changed. Then ask who it was that kept claiming they were increasing NHS funding whilst then forcing the NHS to allocate most of those funds to private providers (whilst clapping, no doubt). Always remember how hard the NHS staff work, how much of a difference they make... and remember who is really to blame.
The NHS is what Britain can be at its best. The people to blame for the NHS crisis are Britain at its worst. I know it's difficult, but always remember that. The NHS is the greatest achievement in this country's long and often bloody history. We need to protect it.
