6:45 a.m.

Anyone who asks for the first appointment of the day, heads up, it’s 7am in the NHS.
Suited me fine, insomnia meant I had already been up for a couple of hours.
Although having your head put in a frame for an MRI is an unusual, & rather noisy, way to start the day.
As ever I have nothing but praise for the dedication & professionalism of the NHS staff.
Any MP who took their recent pay rise without insisting on the same for the nhs doesn’t deserve to be an MP.
