At least I would get health care You just can’t bear to admit that the Scottish NHS is in just as much of a mess as the English can you? I would say the Scottish NHS is in a worse state than the English NHS! What with missing funds, the military driving ambulances, treble 9 calls diverted to NW England call handlers, Covid passport flop. I'll see your soundbites and raise you some facts. Read it and weep. Nuffield Trust... Learning from Scotland’s NHS This report looks at Scotland’s unique health care system, and explores how other parts of the UK might be able to learn from it. Scotland has a unique system of improving the quality of health care. It focuses on engaging the altruistic professional motivations of frontline staff to do better, and building their skills to improve. Success is defined based on specific measurements of safety and effectiveness that make sense to clinicians. Scotland’s smaller size as a country supports a more personalised, less formal approach than in England. The Scottish NHS has also benefited from a continuous focus on quality improvement over many years. It uses a consistent, coherent method where better ways of working are tested on a small scale, quickly changed, and then rolled out. This is overseen by a single organisation that both monitors the quality of care and also helps staff to improve it. While comparing performance is very difficult, Scotland has had particular success in some priority areas like reducing the numbers of stillbirths. Scotland’s system provides possible alternatives for an English system with a tendency towards too many short-term, top-down initiatives that often fail to reach the front line. It also provides one possible model for a Northern Irish NHS yet to have a pervasive commitment to quality improvement, and a Welsh system described as needing better ways to hold health boards to account while supporting them in improving care. While Scotland also faces particular issues of unequal health outcomes and very remote areas, there are pioneering initiatives to address these, and should be considered in other parts of the UK facing similar issues. Scotland has a longer history of drives towards making different parts of the health and social care system work together. It has used legislation to get these efforts underway, while recognising that ultimately local relationships are the deciding factor – there is much for England and Wales to learn from this. However, like other UK countries, Scotland has struggled so far to move care out of hospital. There will be a need for Scottish health service leaders and politicians to face up to the difficult and unpopular decisions this may require, and to be ready for some initiatives not to work. The Scottish NHS faces a serious financial predicament. The need for savings is at least as great as for other UK countries, and health boards are struggling to find ways to deliver them. Limited national planning for the next few years and a polarised, hostile political context make an honest national debate difficult. While the strengths of the Scottish NHS could help it to save money, there is also a risk that they are undermined by the intense financial squeeze.

Seriously? You are accusing me of whataboutery? Did you even read my post. There's not one incidence of blame shift or pointing at another country's failings while blinkered to my own country's. You really need to reassess your understanding of what whataboutery is? It's what you've engaged in dialogue with me and all because you conflate UK/GB with England.

Back to fuel shortages. It seems BE's claims of less of a crisis stand up to scrutiny, as I previously suggested.

The news here has just shown fighting going on in the queues for fuel in certain UK petrol stations. Not an impressive sight.

You're the one pitting one against the other. Did no one ever tell you not to turn up to a battle of wits unarmed. Brigadoon? You know that was a movie, right?

Empty shelves in France due to striking workers at a main distribution centre. Shortage of lorry drivers in France, Poland, Spain. Germany running out of coal to fuel power stations. European natural gas crisis.
Damn Brexit.

Yes you do, Ally as you have an agenda which, Frankly is as boring as the prats who spend their time saying that everything in France is perfect.
How long does one have to wait for a 111 answer in Scotland, by the way?

I think it's a question of pride in one's country of origin. Though there may be serious things wrong in all 4 countries of the UK, there is probably more to be proud of in Scotland than there is in England. Put another way, there is less to be ashamed about in Scotland.
This from someone born and raised in the Antipodes who then spent 20 years living in England before moving to France.
