Rule of six possibly by May.

Indeed, he 'took over' just before Christmas iirc...

Having looked, it only lasted until Feb '91

Lets hope they can get the hospitals reasonably clear by July then, and clear up the back-log of 12 months of patients waiting for operations and treatment (the ones still alive) ready for the next wave/spike then 
feel free to quote me if i'm proved wrong 

I do have to agree.  If they can clear the sniffle stuff out by the summer, that gives them 6 months to make inroads to delayed procedures before the naturally busier winter....   ...likely to be busier than "normal" as the sniffle will come back.

I think, if they can just sort of the inefficiencies in the NHS, they could make good inroads.

I did wonder about the possibility of being called up if the first Gulf War went sideways

I did remember - vaguely - being in a pub with a bit of after hours lock-in when it actually started, and the landlord turning on the telly - which was still working, which back then was unusual in itself, as by that time in the morning, the national anthem had long been sung, and the white dot in the middle completely disappeared.

Me and my bestie had a very long conversation over several pints about would working for Titish Brelecom count us as whats now called key workers, and we'd get out of becoming canon fodder.

I had just turned 20.
