General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Just seen a news report on our TV concerning the NHS and the hospital in question was Wigan Infirmary. The report said that they had cancelled all non-urgent operations until the end of the month and that people (patients) were having to wait for up to 8 hours to be seen. It also stated that some out patients were having to wait in corridors because the waiting rooms were overflowing and that they are considering bringing back mixed wards. Don't know why its true and if it is, is it because of lack of investment or funds or shortage of staff? Sad state of affairs!
