HAVING just been seen by a heart specialist at Burnley General Hospital, my husband has been told he needs a double, and possibly, a triple by-pass operation.
However, they say there is a 12 months waiting list. My husband is 61 and has lost four of his siblings to heart disease.
What is going wrong with our health service? How can they justify giving lottery money to help foreign asylum seekers in Dover who want to milk our country when our health service is in this mess?
