NHS horror ONCE again, the public are subjected to horror stories relating to the NHS (BEN: December 29).

Since Labour was elected nearly two years ago, the NHS has gone from crisis to crisis.

When needing the services of a doctor, in some instances, you have to wait up to two weeks.

When needing to see a consultant, your wait can be up to two years.

When needing an ambulance it either:-

1. Doesn't turn up.

2. Cannot find a location, due to out of date road maps, or

3. When it does arrive, you could be taken anywhere in Northern England.

And when you do arrive at hospital, there is either a shortage of beds, shortage of nursing staff, or both.

The above illustrates Labour's management of the NHS - it is crisis management. Labour are bad for your health.
