The Fat Controller gets preferential NHS treatment.

On Christmas day, John Prescott went to hospital and had a kidney stone removed on the NHS.

They have a point. Never mind Christmas, I know from experience that Friday is not a good day to be admitted to hospital. The people who work the scanners are strictly 9-5, weekdays only, unless you are a cabinet minister.
