Happy Birthday To Our Magnificent Health Service

72 years old today, we are the envy of the western world to have it, yes it gets terribly abused, that's true but without it and it's workers, where would we be?
Happy Birthday NHS

Yes indeed. Was it Aneurin Bevin who started it ?

yeah...we are NOT the envy of the Western world for having the NHS. having worked with in it and seen it as a user and the close relative of users it want a good kick up the pants and an overhaul. I am not dissing front line staff, most of them do the very best they can under the circumstances but lets not get carried away or allow the pandemic to blind us to the truth.

"Where would we be?" A lot of us, Bobbi, wouldn't be anywhere but dead. Sadly, like many of it's workers.
Thank you and Happy Birthday, NHS.
