current waiting list for ‘benign’ gynae is 3 years. hysterectomy is 2-3 years. laparoscopy surgery is 4 years. 3 months for MRI results. 10 weeks for a smear test. 10 years for endo diagnosis.
they are distracting you from their incompetency with this. don’t fall for it.
Replying to @Conservatives
@Conservatives know what a woman is.
I know the vast majority of hardworking NHS staff and patients do too.
That is why I ordered a reversal of unacceptable changes to the NHS website that erased references to women for conditions such as cervical cancer.

We're pleased to welcome @Tesco announcement that they will be providing paid #KinshipCareLeave on a par with adoption leave for all #SpecialGuardians in their workforce. We hope that over time, the policy will be extended to all #KinshipCarers.

Roger Sylvester would have been 55 today.
It’s hard to believe because I never got to know him past 31. No one did.
Roger was a youth worker for Islington.
He spent the day with his cousin Ann on 11 January 1999, helping at her phone shop in Tottenham.
Then he walked home.
