00:00Well NHS is broken. My mum's been in hospital for a month waiting to have a
00:07heart procedure at a different hospital and every single day she's told she's
00:12going and the bed's cancelled and meanwhile she's 89 and deteriorating so
00:17that's a terrible example. Graham had a heart attack in hospital waiting for a
00:23heart procedure, nearly died. You can't see a doctor really, you've got to have a
00:28telephone call. He's broke. Personally so far in Touchwood haven't had any issues
00:34but it's the waiting times isn't it you know because we're overpopulated. I mean
00:42it's quite scary because the way things are going if it doesn't improve in the
00:47next five years we won't have an NHS it'll be all private. Just to go and see
00:52a doctor it's a struggle. Just to have a hospital appointment.
