NOW WITH LINK TO AUDIO VERSION…
Steve Barclay, are you listening
Have you heard, something’s missing
A lack of GPs
Means they’re down on their knees
Working in a healthcare hinterland
Nurses too, they’re unhappy
‘Taint enough, that you clap, the
Ones you applaud
They still can’t afford
Working in a healthcare hinterland
In a little while there will be no one
Wanting to work in the NHS
I’m not sure that even now I know one
Colleague who is coping with the stress
Hospitals, overflowing
Waiting lists, ever growing
It ain’t any fun
For those who’ve begun
Working in a healthcare hinterland
Those who fall and find their hip needs mending
Hope an ambulance will soon arrive
But it’s likely one won’t be attending
Not at least while they are still alive
So this year, please remember
In this month of December
Those you’ve employed
They’re not overjoyed
Working in a healthcare hinterland
Working in a healthcare hinterland
Working in a healthcare hinterland
