Welcome to the forum, Fiona.
And with such refreshing honesty! Of course it's great working for the NHS (or anywhere else in the Public Sector, for that matter - but let's stick to the NHS for now) ... for all the reasons you mention, and more!
As a non-NHS type myself (and as others on the forum will no doubt confirm), I personally get fed up with all the moaning and groaning that goes on. As I may have said before (and as you have also hinted) ... if anyone is that unhappy working in a government hospital, let them try their luck elsewhere!
And ... you're right about any possible change of government. No doubt the Great Juggernaut will lumber on regardless!
