I also have had excellent treatment, Alan, and the standards of care are outstanding in most medical areas.
However, the problems in NHS England are now, including the financial nonsense of hospitals like Mary's at Addenbrokes, not so much systemic in the normal sense but actually, and deliberately, designed in by the so-called marketising 'reforms' and restructuring, especially that flowing from the Tories' Health and Social Care Act of 2012. That act simply killed the NHS in England in the original sense. The only road now, short of a major political reversal (of which in England there are still, even within Corbyn's ranks, no signs) is a steady and rapidly increasing slide into privatisation.
