So many times I feel I am blogging about the things which are wrong either in politics, or the environment or culture in general so it is very nice to be able to write about some things which are working well.

I had to have a trip to Salisbury General Hospital about a week ago to have a foot x-ray done, my GP have given me a slip of paper and told me to ring a number and they would book it for me. I did this expecting to be told I would have a few weeks wait, what a surprise I got when this very nice gentleman told me they could see me that week and offered me several times.

I went to the hospital telling my boss that I would be gone most of the morning as the last time I had an x-ray I had waited for an hour and half before being seen, but not this time I got there 10 minutes early, was greeted by a very nice lady and asked to wait. I sat down and picked up a magazine before I could open it my name was called and I was taken through, my foot was x-rayed and I was out all within 15 minutes. I was back at work within the hour. My only issue was that I had put two hours parking on the car as I had parked at the old end of the hospital, but I would rather that than having to wait for hours. It was indeed an excellent service, maybe the changes are starting to pay off, we might well see a more productive system within the NHS. Well done Salisbury Hospital
