I RECENTLY needed treatment in the Czech Republic for a fall.

The cost for the treatment and ambulance came to 2,000 euros, which luckily my insurers are seeing to.

This and considering the treatment I’ve had on the National Health Service for other things in the past 15 years makes me realise how precious it is.

We must look after it and treat it as it is our treasure and not let bits of it be sold off to a lot of people whose motives are greed.
