Re that positive news re the NHS on the Scottish side of the border, that doesn't surprise me too much as my daughter works for NHS Scotland on the admin/organisational side of their operations. She has certainly made me aware of the very busy periods, particularly in ICUs, but in recent times the various servs have been very quiet to a point where many staff were literally "twiddling their thumbs". Therefore one could logically assume that some priority cases could be targeted for "priority attention" if safe enough to do so and staff available to do it but don't advertise the fact.
