It looks like all those billions New Labour poured into the NHS are beginning to pay off. Just look how they looked after Peter Mandelson…
Mr Mandelson, 54, began complaining of abdominal pain over the weekend. Yesterday, as he was having dinner with a friend at his £3.5 million Regent’s Park home, the pain worsened and he rang for medical help.
Two doctors arrived and, suspecting a serious problem, they called in Lord Darzi. The health minister drove Mr Mandelson to St Mary’s, where tests revealed he had a kidney stones.
Fantastic. I’m almost looking forward to being ill. Two doctors and a minister of state? Wow. That’s medical care you just can’t buy. I take it all back - New Labour really have made a difference. No wonder the NHS is the envy of the world. God bless it.

I was down the hospital last month and waited and waited and waited, of course I was not really waiting until I saw the nurse, once I had seen the triage then I was waiting, in all it took five hours.
You can’t really expect the more MPs to suffer now can you?
