"...so the hospital near Ethel won't do her hip operation, but the one twenty miles away will. It's a postcode lottery." Barely a day goes by without some poor NHS manager getting hauled over the coals by a knob-end "social affairs" reporter for having the audacity to do their job and decide what they're going to spend their tiny budgets on.
I think the NHS is fantastic. I've used it whenever I've needed to all my life, from being born, to the time when I broke my thumb playing hockey, to helping the injured Mrs John have her sprained ankle treated, to the birth of my son. And I've used it in several different postcodes. At no point has Dale Winton, or Eamonn Holmes, or the Voice Of The Balls Alan Dedicoat (accompanied by bright flashy lights and a hideous, tedious game format) ever drawn six postcodes and a bonus postcode from a machine selected by a member of the public while a taped studio audience clap and cheer like Beatles fans from the sixties at the sight of random numbers successfully appearing in first the order they were drawn, then, in ascending numerical order before I've been allowed to have my blood pressure checked. For that, my friend, is what a postcode lottery would be.
Not some lame journalistic shorthand dissing the highly laudible practice of locally managing limited resources according to the overall needs of the community.
So please, lazy hacks. Stop saying it. And stop reporting on old people with dodgy hips.
