They tend to tell you when you go in but it is only a guess. I think that you can have jams when you need to speak to a specific person. There can also be problems if there are no spare beds for you.
The real problem is that funding has been cut every year since the Tories came in. Every area you can think of has had to cut back.
As an example they have cut back on social care. So the wards fill up with old folks with colds and so on. As there is nowhere for them to go they stay there. Its called bed blocking and is a big problem in the winter.

My wife is a nurse and she touted moving to the States a few years ago.They were paying top dollar then.
Our whole health service is shored up by immigrants and is about to collapse.

The government has decided that you need an income of £35k in order to stay in the UK. Even the Nurses top rate is below that and so recruitment is struggling. Oh, they also stopped the learning grant that helped student nurses through their training. Yoou then enter a low paid profession with massive debts. Its madness.

On top of this they are trying to impose a new contract on the Drs which has just caused a strike. They have also promised a new 7 day service whilst stating that it will not need extra funding. Common sense suggests thatif you move resources from thursday to sunday then thursday might be a bit tough.

Very interesting.

We have a lot of immigrants in our elderly care facilities.

Immigrants can age, and get sick as well.

They do. And they can (and do) pull on other resources.

American...the land of free money.
