Waiting List
By Annie McCartney. With GP appointment lengths in some areas tightly rationed, how much longer can the NHS survive?
Newspaper headlines and even the radio screams at us daily that the NHS is in crisis. "Immigration, lack of investment, over medication abuse by a growing number of patients who know their rights but not their responsibilities." Whatever the reality there is thin white line of overworked medics holding the system together, but for how much longer can this go on?
To complement Radio 4's News and Current Affairs output, our weekly series presents a dramatic response to a major story from the week's news. The form and content is entirely led by the news topic - so drama can come in many guises, as well as poetry and prose.
FF2F presents writers with the creative opportunity to work in a bold and instinctive way as they respond to events in the news, beginning on a Monday when an idea is selected through to Friday when the programme is recorded and edited.
