read “house on the hill” comments in Your Say regarding the NHS problems. I very much disagree with including disabilities as a lifestyle choice.

My daughter was born with a disability and is permanently in a wheelchair, she has had 24 operations, some to keep her alive and others to improve her mobility, for which we are eternally grateful for the NHS.

She is working and living indpendently so is this still regarded as a lifestyle choice, I do not think so, she never complains and takes life as it comes, not wanting sympathy, and we are very proud parents.
