Ambulance service is fucked, every twat who phones up is entitled to an ambulance and therein lies the problem, the amount of lazy fuckwits who could make their own way to a doctor or A&E phones 999, stubbed toe, headache etc. A&E just can’t process them quick enough, the NHS has shot loads of money but is just mis managed, my wife has worked for them in an admin role for around 4 years, in that time they’ve had 3 reviews and pissing about of job roles, departments etc, how many man hours and cost does that take up, some new manager comes in creates chaos spends loads restructuring and then fucks off and then it begins again.
Hospital waiting lists get longer, school classrooms getting larger. Motorways getting more and more congested. Cities and towns getting more and more congested, Housing getting scarcer and scarcer and ambulance waiting times getting longer. So in my humble opinion it quite clearly is a population issue.Populations grow.
Gov infrastructure and appropriate jobs go with it.
Not a 'population' issue.

Absolutely spot on about the government and your argument is not without substance.I understand your view and agree with on it on the face of it, but one can't expect to live in a spot designed for a specific amount of people and expect the original resource not to become scarce once more people are added.
"It's not a population issue" was just showing you, as others have pointed out since, that you can't allow growth without adjusting for that growth. Something the Gov has ignored because it 'costs money'. This is THE most idiotic incompetent Gov I've ever witnessed.
Next, we'll be hearing "Britain is Full" again and we'll see the blaming of certain cultures along with it...
Totally spot on my caledonian chum.You're wrong. If your population goes up you spend money and open more facilities. Higher population is more people paying tax, there is no excuse for neglecting our public health service.
I have this, enlarged prostrate. My doctor said if this happens you need to get to A & E sharpish. Glad you ok. My worst niggtmare.@mosssideblue firstly I'm glad you're okay. Unfortunately I encountered our ambulance service in the early hours of last Saturday, or rather I didn't but did encounter how frustratingly awful it is.
I went for a drink on Friday night, came home and went to bed. I woke up in the early hours busting to go to the toilet. Nothing. Not a trickle. I was in shock. I do have bph which sometimes makes for a weak flow but nothing like this. I was in agony, increasing by the minute and rang 999, after straining and crying out in pain for some time. After having to go through the call handlers checklist she said, "We're advising waiting times of a minimum of four hours." I told her no way could I wait that long I was in agony, felt dizzy and living alone was scared I might pass out. After much going back and forth and three phone calls they called me a taxi, which although local took ages to get there too and two calls to chase them up. This was just after 5am so no idea how they were so busy.
Missing out the gory hospital details I'm being discharged and waiting for my antibiotics when my phone rang. "Hello, it's the ambulance, we're outside your property now, are you able to make your own way out?" It was 11:30 am!!

My wife has been trying to get a doctor just to speak to since November, they're phoning her on Monday.Asked for a Drs appointment on the 10th of March, ended up being the 23rd of March before I spoke to them.
