Just picked this up from another site:-
The A&E was under great pressure. A four year old with suspected pneumonia was obliged to sleep on the floor on and under coats as there was no bed available. The hospital said they were under pressure with many patients - There were only chairs at that time... The boy did not have "pneumonia " He was later diagnosed with "flu and tonsillitis" - Boris was asked by Joe Pike to look at a photo on the phone, it seems out of the blue - Seems Boris took Joe Pikes phone and then looked at the picture and apologised for anyone having a hard time at A&E - Not all reports have that.
Why was there no bed? had anyone with say a broken arm occupying a bed? How did Joe Pike get the photo?
Being Boris had nil to do with the cuts imposed by Cameron and Osborne - Caused in part by Gordon Brown who handed our money to bankers.. I would hope Labour do not try and make political capital about an under pressure A&E unit - It was expected that extra demands would be made on the NHS this winter..
I am glad the boy did not have "pneumonia " - Flue is better that that anytime and the boy was discharged the day after..This post is I have read the reports. Mother took the photo and I understand this happened last week December 3rd. Why has it come to light NOW. ...........
I'm not a fan of BJ and think that Gove is the better man, but as things stand I can only see voting for the best of a poor bunch, which is, in my case BJ.
