I CAN’T bear to think of the UK without the NHS.

When my son was aged three, he contracted a rare illness.

It took three months to diagnose it, and then lots of consultations, treatment and so forth. The NHS staff were fantastic.

I am concerned about the NHS now.

I think there is a possibility that it may be privatised, or become more underfunded.

We must support the NHS so that all the political parties realise how important this is to us.
