Its definitely an interesting article. He should make suggestions as to what he thinks needs to done.
I have to say that I was referred to hospital for a MRI scan through the public system earlier this year. I was told by my GP that could be waiting months but I got an appointment within 3 weeks.
Also, my nephew is starting secondary school next September and the school is newly built, the resources are fantastic. Recording studios, music and film with great equipment, after school sports and drama etc.
Also where I live there are currently two new road upgrades (badly needed) in construction.
So perhaps money being spent is filtering through in better services?
