Swindon's Health Less Than Perfect, Or Even Good

After the police rankings were released recently, a similar report on the state of the town's health services has been published.

Not wanting to be too different to the Wiltshire Constabulary, those in the health sector were pretty much the same. Swindon Primary Care Trust, runner of GP's surgeries and dentist practises has dropped from a 'good' to 'fair' rating.

The operator of the Great Western Hospital, the Swindon & Marlborough NHS Trust, also got a lower rating.

The reality based universe the rest of us exist in has been put aside for the paradox the PR spin team exist in following this news. Yes, you've guessed it, just like the PR after the police rankings, they believe it is good news.

Swindon Centric Says ; Do the health sector of our town have the same PR team as the police? And do the people who work there have a fever?

Hospital In Danger Of Collapse

A desperate announcement was made this weekend for the return of crutches to the Great Western Hospital due to a serious shortage.

'' We can't believe how low we are on crutches, we're asking as many former patients to return any which they might have after treatment''. That comment from Doctor Laura Darling of the GWH, who was very low on her pair, barely three foot six inches.

People visiting the GWH will have to be careful of the North wing of the hospital, which is leaning at a dangerous angle and is currently being propped up by the limited number of crutches the hospital still has.

Rumour that the IVF clinic offices are in danger of falling into the maternity ward if a supporting wall and floor gave way were unfounded. Though it was made clear that in the event of any serious trauma caused to desperate couples could be swiftly dealt with as the psychiatric department would the next floor to come smashing through the opposing wall.

The Swindon Centric Blog Says ; It could be worse than the episode of Fawlty Towers with the builders and Carry On Doctor combined! Return those crutches!

Ok, so 'House' walks with a stick but it is a good show!
