If you are waiting for an operation on the NHS it appears the best chance to get your operation is when there is a General Election just round the corner - I wonder where the money, staff, and beds for these operations are going to come from ;-)

The Telegraph is reporting that, the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, is setting aside £250million to pay for 100,000 extra treatments over the summer.

He will pledge that people will no longer have to face unacceptable waits of more than a year for NHS treatment unless it is clinically necessary.

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
