VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|James|DATE|1364420074|CONTENT|While I was saddened to hear of the Rev Bell&#039;s own brush with serious ill health, and wish him nothing but the best, I&#039;m afraid this TFTD was but an anecdote which added nothing to the current debate on the state of the NHS. We&#039;ve all got a story to tell about the NHS for good or ill, it&#039;s just that most of us aren&#039;t given a prime time radio platform on which to spin our yarn.  

The coda about those who tended to Jesus was predictable but still jarred with the tenor of his preceding comments. 

I would far rather have heard the thoughts of, say,  one of the bereaved and aggrieved relatives affected by the mistreatment of a loved one at mid Staffs. I&#039;m sorry, Reverend, but their comments would have carried far more weight and been genuinely worth pondering.

I find the Reverend&#039;s contributions to Radio 4 exceptionally weak, and I know I am not the only one.
