NHS at 60 - A picture of health 00:43am on 07 Jun 2008 As a fully paid up member of the NHS I'm grateful that I only have to use the system infrequently but, at 74 years of age, I have a hearing problem.
After a hearing test in September 2007 the moulds for hearing aids were made 4 days later. I also know that my hearing aids have been sitting on a shelf in the hospital since February 2008.
With 60 years experience to call on, and teething troubles aplenty, I expected the NHS might be more efficient.
In 1997 Tony Blair told me he only had 24 hours left in which to save the NHS and, more recently, I'm told that Gordon Brown is listening. It's a pity I can't do the same.
Having had the hearing test I'm no longer a statistic...............but I'd love to create a space on that hospital shelf and also hear my wife shouting at me again!
