This may be London or Britain I should say. Hiya. Can you hear me okay? yes. Who's this? Where are you calling from? Hi, my name is Janina. I'm calling from Northern Ireland. Yeah, and it's pretty close. What's on your mind? What's your name again? And what's on your mind? I just wanted to speak about what I was listening to Matt a few days ago talking about where's tweeting. And basically, the situation with the NHS as it stands at the moment. I live in Northern Ireland and I was recently seeing my general practitioner about trying to get a non-emergency surgery. okay. Basically, I have a hernia. And she told me when I was visiting her that the wait for non-emergency surgery at the moment is five years. Wow. And the thing is that you can get the data for the local Trusts. Northern Ireland is broken into various Health trusts. And the charts are astonishing because like if you look at 2008 it was a maximum of six months for non-emergency surgery. And what scares me about it is it's this slow drip trip of defunding everything. Right. To the point where people start to believe that the NHS is just bad. and we should go private. You know, I have a friend of mine who lived in London for the last 20 years and he recently moved to Geneva and he's praying for private care through his employer and he's extolling the virtues of it. How quickly he can get an appointment. How quickly he can get seen. He's saying the UK should move to this model. And I'm like no we shouldn't you know the reason why it's bad the reason why I'm waiting five years is because Eddie it's like West Reading wants to just drain it. And you notice in the comment as well Matt wouldn't be talking about Boaz basically. And you know where's recently said that yeah I think he would appease or something. About how he because he has funds because he has the means he seeks Private health care because he doesn't want to burden the NHS. And he was encouraging other wealthy people to do that. And it's like if you're the shadow Health minister you shouldn't be if you want to do that if you want to do that don't tell anybody you're doing that. What sort of message?
