Scary statistic ! Before we moan about the NHS again, perhaps we should think again. Have a read of this:

Very true Paul, but it should be remembered we pay for the NHS and are entitled to good service, which is failing lamentably for many diabetics and many others I suspect. I have often thought if diabetics had to pay for their drugs and supplies, a hell of a lot more diabetics would be grabbing a low carb lifestyle with both hands. The carb up and shoot up brigade would be first on my pay up list.
BTW before I am written off as a heartless SOB, people who are unable to pay (many in that situation) would get all they need for free. Although rich people (the honest ones) pay a hell of a lot of tax and NI should a man with £millions in assets receive any state aid? Just a thought.
