We do not have a functioning NHS.
I have had more cause than most to rely on the NHS in the last 12 months and they have been pretty poor, even by their own standards. I had heart problems and was, in effect, told that the cardio department in my local hospital was closed.
I had to go private where, surprise surprise, a 10 month waiting list disappeared (as did the best part of £20k) and I had my first procedure in less than 3 weeks.
Since then, service is back to normal, I had an echocardiogram and a 24 heart monitor some 4-5 weeks ago and I am still waiting to hear from my cardiologist, 5 bloody weeks to look at data that the technicians would already have analysed.
Not a word, not even a phone call, the NHS is not fit for purpose.
