I currently have mixed feelings about the NHS.

On one hand, I don't know what the cost of having 2 midwives, 4 doctors, an anaesthetist* and assistant, and (IIRC) a couple of others on hand at 06:30 on a Sunday costs, but it can't be cheap.

On the other hand, they're not very good at phoning you back, and there is a lot of waiting around, when your clinical priority is not "must be done right now".

* The anaesthetist was a registrar. I don't know what his assistant was.
