00:00Maybe not quite so recently, but I've had my appendix out when I was 60 and I was rushed in.
00:08No problem, done. I've had my gallbladder out, in, no problem.
00:13The only difficulty is getting an appointment with your GP.
00:19But other than that, no problems really. Everything's fine.
00:23No, it's always been crumbling a bit, but it needs a bit of popping up, I think.
00:30Maybe a bit more lottery money or something, you know.
00:34Yes, it could do a lot worse. It could be a lot worse.
00:40I was based up in the Heath and in Valinda Hospital.
00:42Valinda, obviously second to none, there's nothing up there.
00:45They get you in as quick as they can, people second to none.
00:48Heath Hospital are trying to do their best with what they've got,
00:51but obviously if they're stuck with their budgets and things, they can only do so much.
00:55But yes, there's a lot of people there, there was people on trolleys and that's the way it goes.
01:00But it would be nice if we could get something sorted,
01:02but failed government from last government and see what happens this time.
01:06I had to have a major brain operation last year and the service I had was amazing.
01:13And since, the after, so yes, I can't complain.
01:19I think you've just got to accept that when you're on the waiting list,
01:24you can only get a pint out of a pint pot.
01:26And if I'm on the waiting list and you come in as a more emergency,
01:30I'm sure you'd prefer to go before me than wait.
01:33So it's all about that.
01:35But for general waiting, consultancy and stuff like that, horrendous.
01:42And not really acceptable when you look at the levels, it's just been badly managed.
01:47And I sympathise with the nurses, if I'm honest, and the NHS staff
01:51that have to put up with the frustration of other people that have to wait
01:55because they're the front line that get the frustration taken out on.
