One of the nicest things is when you have got to know a couple who are trying for a baby, and you have the roller-coaster of all the hopes and disappointments.
Often they are unable to conceive naturally and seek funding for assisted conception.
We still have funding for limited access to NHS assisted conception in Dullsville, and some are approved for that.
It is even better when women get pregnant the Natural way.
You will never see someone with a broader smile than that!

So I guess you're not looking forward to retirement?!
JD retire?! I certainly hope not! ... it'd be a biiig loss to medicine ;-)
limited funding? i thought the nhs had lots of funds after all it is the health provider of last resort to much of india with many hundreds of thousands of their nationals here on work visas and student visas AND THEIR FAMILIES all being entitled to free care from day one of stepping into the country.
must make you proud to see so many indian nationals blocking our beds while brits who have paid in for years get fuck all out of the system.
but then i forgot the nhs is great isnt it "available to all citizens of the country, regardless of income and circumstance" unless of course you have been out of the country for 6 months when you will find you ARE NOT entitled to any NHS care when you come back regardless of the fact you may have paid hundreds of thousands into the system over the years
oh year its great this nhs thing isnt it
Anonymous above - you are misinformed about not being entitled to NHS care . Any one who is " ordinarily resident" in the UK is entitled to NHS care

thats exactly what i said, if you have been out of the country 6 months and not paid council tax here you are not "ordinarily resident" according to the nhs, indeed it was only incresed to 6 months recently it was only 3 months before that
Sorry Buster, you are wrong until you provide evidence to the contrary.
Dr No goes abroad to work for six months. He's done that. The person who rented his flat paid the CT (or equivalent at the time). You say he is no longer 'ordinarily resident' and so will have to pay for NHS treatment.
The DoH website is as usual useless, or worse (ie misleading). The HMRC website is one step less useless, and says in effect it's down to case law, but...
Dr No, if he did today what he did in the past (going abroad for six months) would still be considered 'ordinarily resident'.
So Buster - unless you have evidence to prove otherwise - you are scaremongering.
Totally off topic - but that is one happy kitty there! It has the same expression my cocker spaniel had when my mum gave him an entire pot of steak mince to eat (she had dementia at the time). I wasn't so happy, because it was my dinner..
dr no you should know the rules better than that...
