More evidence, should you need it of #Tory defunding of the #NHS;
At the same time private #healthcare is trumpeting instant access to health professionals, waiting times on #NHS111 have reached nearly half an hour (on average) with nearly a fifth of callers just giving up;
so now the service the Tories pretended would help deal with capacity issues in the main #healthservice is also under staffed;
the wreckers continue to laugh all the way to their backers' bank!
