Private hospitals ‘cannibalising’ NHS in England by doing 10% of elective operations

Mickey Mouse sat quietly on the deck of the steamboat. Barely moving, barely breathing, barely existing.
“Is this all I am meant to be? Is this my life?”
He knew that something needed to change- but what?
“Oh, I know- plastic surgery will solve my problems!”
And it did and everything was perfect forever.

#PublicHospitals #ElectiveSurgery #DataSecurity I've been on an elective surgery waiting list with a public hospital group in Victoria since March. It was supposed to be a 3 month wait. So here I am 3 months later still waiting and I get a letter from them. I thought that it would be my appointment. But no, instead it's a begging letter asking me to donate to their charity. I doubt if the hospital group is doing all this admin for the charity internally. I am sure that it would have been sub contracted out. So I am a bit pissed off that my details have been passed on to some kind of charity collection agency.
A few days later I get a text message. I think that maybe this is the appointment. But no, it's just a link for me to go to another website with a domain name of personifycare and enter the details that they already have yet again. I don't trust it but I have no choice if I want to stay on the waiting list. So I enter all my details again and confirm that I still need the surgery. This hospital group seem very casual with whom they share their patients data. No wonder there's so many leaks.
