RE: Last week’s story which told how victims of two accidents in Wycombe – in Lane End Road and Marlow Hill – were taken to Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Aylesbury.
LANE End Road to High Wycombe Hospital; what, 2-3 miles? Time? Minutes.
Marlow Hill to High Wycombe Hospital; what, 500 metres at best. Time? Minutes.
Both sites to Stoke Mandeville; 13-14 miles? Time? Unacceptable.
How can one say this without being unprintable; it’s nuts, barmy, unbelievable, bureaucracy gone mad, mindblowingly incompetent and finally, ‘if it works, break it’ [the Government maxim to fix things].Could we get Sir Terry Leahy in to sort out Bucks NHS and put the current incumbents out to grass? Without their six figure payoffs, naturally.
