Scud 'n Flyboy
For what it's worth I recently had a major cancer op with the NHS. My views:
Operated on quickly (guess that's the norm for Big C)
Surgeon and the operating team excellent
Food very good
Nice over-bed tele & phone
Dirty ward - floors cleaned, but don't look close elsewhere
Nursing care varied between really awful and very good
On balance, the Tory NHS line in their manifesto would have my vote; but have to side with friend prOOne over Defence.
