Specifically emergency yes.
There ongoing and preventative care has gotten bad enough that it can drive you to A&E to actually get seen. Last time I called my NHS doctor I was given an appointment 3 weeks out and my mom just waited 6 weeks for an X-ray on her foot.

I cannot agree more. GPs and sometimes A&E is sheesh, but if you get through to specialist NHS is amazing
It's widely known that non-critical care is a postcode lottery. But in the few times I and others have needed the NHS in life-or-death situations, they have been nothing short of amazing.
