Broken NHS

IT APPEARS that doctors have joined the endangered species list.

The contract between the people and the NHS has been broken by ill-thought-out, short-term tactical policies to gain electoral advantage by politicians ignorant of health and social care requirements.

The elderly have been well and truly ripped off. Despite having paid handsomely into the system, they are finding it almost impossible to see a doctor or access social care. JAMES ROBERT-POULAIN,
