Unfortunately, I'm coming to this conclusion not based on newspapers, 
but based on just having had a child, having worked with lots of doctors 
over the last year, and first hand reports from friends and colleagues. 
If all you've ever seen is the NHS, you might think it's ok, but if 
you've had the comparison against several other systems within Europe, 
it's a shame.

Yes, more funding, better internal communication, and reasonable 
priorities. If they save on cleaning personell (which is dirt cheap 
compared to others...), they haven't understood the most basic thing.
