Re: Re: Increasing Calls

I always forget which wing is "right" and which is "left"... and I haven't the foggiest which I am. I don't think being lucky enough to get a great education has much to do with whether a person should be prioritised for emergency healthcare, and I can't see ambulance dispatchers tapping your NI number into the computer to see which tax band you're in before sending a crew. How non-emergency care gets shuffled about is another thing entirely, any amount of arguments can be made for and against private healthcare, helping those who help themselves first, walk-in clinics, on-call GPs, prescription charges, long-term care, and a million other facets of debate. But for emergency ambulances, it should only be about the nature of the emergency - saving life or limb of a person who, regardless of status, tax contributions, age, hobbies, etc, is a fellow human being.
