    Source H tells me that the National Health Services has shortage of manpower such as doctors.

    This can be seen by the following sentence in Source H " All our doctors are busy helping other customers."

    Source H also tells me that the National Health Service waiting time for the patient is too long.

    This can be seen by the following sentence in Source H " Please wait, you are advancing in the queue and you will be seen as soon as a doctor becomes available."

    The purpose of Source H is to tell us that the National Health Service is bad as there is a shortage of manpower and there is a long waiting time. It also tells us that the National Health Services needs a major improvement by recruiting more doctors and had to shorten waiting time.

    I can learn that the national health service is not very efficient. In the source , it says " All our doctors are busy helping other customers. " This sentence meant that the waiting time for a patient to receive treatment is very long. This can supported by the dead body in the picture. With the dead body , it is saying that the waiting time for treatment is so long that a patient died while waiting for his turn.

    It tell us that British National Health Service is very ineffective yet they care for their patient.The evidence is the notice saying that your injury is important to us but some of the patient which is waiting needs a emergency operation.It also that British National Health Service has very little doctors to attent the paitent.The evidence is the notice saying all our doctors are busy helping other customers so this shows that the British National Health Service has very little doctors.

    Source H is teeling us that the NHS is short of doctors. This can be supported, "Please wait, you are advancinginthe queue and you will be seen as a doctor become available." It is also not reliable because people are dead before they seen the doctor. This is supported by the man who is lying down with a blanket. The cartoonist is discouraging the British not to go to the NHS for health treatment as it is slow and unreliable.

    Source H shows that the British National Health Service has insufficient doctors.
    This can be supported from the source that ''all our doctors are busy helping other customers. ''

    Source H also tells me that the waiting time before each patient gets to be attended to a doctor is too long.
    This can be supported from the source that '' you are advancing in the queue and you will be seen as soon as a doctor become available.

    The purpose of source H is to tell us that the British National Health Service has a shortage of doctors as not each patient gets to be attended to a doctor quickly. Also, the waiting time of the British National Health Service is incompetence as it has to make the patient wait so long . The picture in source H shows a man waiting so long till death awaits him .

    I can learn from this source that the service of the National Health Sevice is not efficient as the poster states that they have to wait for a considerable amount of time as the queue is long and they have to wait even though they are seriously injured like some of the people in the queue .

    I can also learn from this source that the National Health Service does not have enough manpower to attend to all the patients as the queue is long and this makes the patients angry with the service as you can see by the look of their angry faces .

    The purpose of this source is to the tell the Britain that the NHS is not efficient and if you are sick and go to the NHS , it may even cost your life if you are seriously injured and you still have to wait . This shows that the service is not efficient and unreliable .

    i learn from this source that the national helth service cares for its patients but they do not have the ability and resources to treat their patients efficiently . they also have a shortage of doctors.

    this can be seen in the picture as there is a sentence that says all our doctors are busy helping customers.

    the purpose of this source is to tell us that the british national health service is not good enough as people have to wait for a long time in the hospital for doctors to be available

    From this source,i can tell that the National Health Service has
    shortage of doctors.
    This source tells us that the National Health Service has insufficient
    doctors to hlelp those patients who needed help immediately as there is
    a patient lying on the bed still waiting for the queue.It is also supported
    by the following line from the source that says " All our doctors are busy
    helpig other customers.Please wait...".
    Although the National Health Service
    has shortage of man power,but they still care for the patients that needed
    help as supported in the following line as shown in the source " Your injury
    is important to us. "

  9. From this source i can learn that the National Health service is not efficient at all.

    The NHS has a shortage of manpower, this can be seen from the poster which says that all doctors are busy helping other customers. This would lead to unsatisfactory of the customers as they would have to queue up for a long time before they can see the doctor.

    Even if they are suffering from life threatening injuries they would still have to wait for the doctors to be available. If that were to happen customers would lose their live even before they can see the doctor.

    The purpose of this source is to tell Britain that its NHS is not efficient at all. patients might even die before they would be able to see the doctor. It's also telling the NHS to recruit more doctors and nurses to tend to the patients.

    From source H I can see that the National Health Service is not effective enough.
    This can be seen from the source that all patient need to wait even those who are severely injured .

    From the source I can also see that the National Health Service does not have enough facility to serve all the patient
    This can be seen from the source that all type of patient are cluster together in the room .

    The purpose of this source is to tell Britain Citizen that National Health Service is not effective so that they will not support the government .

    i an tell that from the source that the British Healthcare is very lousy which can be shown by the people sitting outside the hospital representing the patients who are severely injured and yet have to wait outside,with lots of other also

    it is also shown that they are clustering together without comfort.the purpose of source H is to discourage citizens to use the NHS as it is under great demand that it cannot cope with it.
