My name is Karen and this is my NHS story.

You don't realise how blind you are until you have cataract surgery.

I was referred to a surgical hub and they booked us in for an operation.

It was about three weeks before I was there. It's very, very quick.

The government is opening more surgical hubs with more than 120 already operating

across England so the NHS can be there for all of us when we need it. Find your closest one

at gov.uk slash NHS fit for the future. My name is Chevy and this is my NHS story. Over a couple

of days I was getting quite intense pain on the left side of my stomach.

So I called my doctors and then was referred to the Elton CDC. It was literally a seamless,

stress-free day. There was no anxiety or worry. The government is opening new community

diagnostic centres with many already available 12 hours a day, seven days a week, so the NHS can be

there for all of us when we need it. Find your closest one at gov.uk slash NHS fit for the future, available England-wide. I think we all know if you have gender reassignment and sex as two distinct categories in the Equality Act that they don't overlap. It would be nonsensical for them to overlap in any way, shape or form. There's a lady that spoke at Let Women Speak.

And when she had breast cancer, she couldn't have time paid leave for reconstructive surgery.

But you can if you're a bloke.

I've got no time to try and find a female way of saying something that just needs to be said.

Like, he's a man, that needs to be said, he's a man, that's it.

You say it, you break the spell, move on.

How on earth are you going to solve what's happening to women in Afghanistan?

You've just got to hope, against hope, really,

that the men in those sorts of countries actually begin to see women

as human. We have a duty over here to stop it happening here.
