Comparing health care.
The centre is large, new and incredibly successful. It has completed 53,000 operations since its inception three years ago - the operating theatres work all day - and even on Sundays. {And it IS most certainly lawful 'to do good on the Sabbath!'}

IT HAS NO WAITING LISTS.
When will that happy day arrive in the UK? When will patients' welfare become the principal target of funds and bureaucracy become of decreasing significance?
