   I work in a hospital and can honestly say I have never come across people carrying clipboards!!
   The NHS is a good institution, but the politicians use it as a point scoring exercise. When this stops (like it ever will!!) then perhaps they can get on spending money where it is really needed and despite what people state not only Doctors and nurses - important though they obviously are, a hospital could not possibly run without the likes of porters, cleaners and secretarial/reception staff ( and no I don't mean secretaries to managers - I mean secretaries to the Doctors, nurses and Consultants!)

   Maggie, I don't think that you are being fair on your self. your weight is life threatening and you're entitled to help on the NHS.
   The latest resaerch shows that your fat levels are decided when you are nine or ten and that no matter your diet your body will try to go back to those levels.
   Also research is showing that dieting is not so effective for women because your body is trying to regain fat for the next pregnantcy.
   The NHS is to provide health care for all, end of story.

   I was unfortunate to suffer a major illness last year and have had very goof treatment from the NHS. However, it could do witha shake-up to prune the unneccesary layers of bureaucracy and there is something wrong with a system which employs accountants on high salaries in NHS Trusts while there is a shortage of medical staff.

   Lets get back to basics and ban non essential surgery like breast augmentation and gastric banding and gastric bypass. Oh sure I'd like one as I'm 17 stone and only 5 feet 4 but I don't expect the NHS to provide one because i overeat
