    As a retired nurse, and now a carer for my husband and also working part time as a school cleaner until I reach my state pension age in three years time, I can tell you that the NHS has been sold of bit by bit since the Time of Mrs Thatcher. PFI's did continue under the slightly less Neoliberal rule of Mr Blair's Labour, but even under his tenure the NHS wasn't being seriously underfunded.
    In the last decade I have seen the worst assault on the NHS in my 63 years on this planet. It saddens me to think that the changes to this service have had detrimental effects on the service users. My husband suffered brain damage because of the disjointed care he received from 2011 onwards. His brain damage happened in March 2012 and the help and expertise he needed had been stripped away at that time for two years, they called it a Cinderella service.
    It was found in an Ombudsman's investigation that the nursing and medical care 'fell so far short of the applicable standard as to amount to service failures'. None of it should have happened, but my husband was left with brain damage at the age of 52. I don't blame the NHS, I blame the culture at the top, I blame Mr Hunt, the then Health Secretary, I blame the Lib Dem leader at the time, Mr Clegg, for helping sign off the Health and Welfare Act of 2012 which paved the way for drastic changes that cut services and laid the front line staff out to dry, taking these never events and covering up the forced inadequacies of our NHS.
    The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman covered up the worst of the mishaps, and there were many, and that is where I lay the blame. To cover up and to silence whistle blowers when they speak up about understaffing, when blunders are covered up from the CEO's doing the bidding of a neoliberal agenda on high wages, with underlings also on high wages, you have to ask yourself what's happening to the foundations of this still great institution. Bring back Matron! forget the CEO's they don't belong in the NHS, it's not a business, it's a service for the people of this country.
    There will always be mistakes in the NHS, BUT we have to understand that none of it is an exact science, a lot of it is trial and error, so many illnesses mirror each other, it's a challenge, we have to be forgiving in part, when the front line staff are so understaffed, and the expertise is now so limited that mistakes will happen. When my daughter was having her baby I noticed that on the front of the doors at the maternity wing there was a sign stating that they were seriously understaffed on that unit. The likelihood of mistakes happening, which can and sometimes will affect lives, increases. Who do you blame? Forget litigation, unless it's an out and out misdemeanor, if it's a case of disjointed care because of the volume of workload along with no staff, blame those who run the country, that's where the buck stops.
    I still fight for our NHS, it's still the best option for the likes of you and I, and even though it let my family down I still love it and all it stands for. The Ombudsman on the other hand is only there as a gatekeeper for the establishment and they, along with our judiciary, are owned by the establishment alongside our MSM/Press. #VoteLabourDecember12, I am and so are my family.

      My wife was also a nurse until she developed brain lesion and serious epilepsy - which turned out to be a progressive genetic disorder which we've discovered our son has too ... He was tested after a movement disorder became worse and started having seizures.
      She speaks exactly the same as you. Our hospital is now part being run by Richard Branson ... A&E often looks like they're trying to deal with an apocalyptic event. I really don't know how they manage. You see nurses and Doctors emotionally stressed.
