The East Lothian-based carer was told by her GP to urgently get to hospital, where she stayed for five days with severe gastroenteritis and dehydration. Shelley, who is a member of the swim group Salty Sisters, underwent several weeks of appointments that led to a final diagnosis of cryptosporidium – a diarrheal disease contracted by swimming in contaminated water.

There has been a “startling collapse” in public satisfaction with the NHS, according to a major public survey. Some 59% of adults say they are dissatisfied with the health service, up seven percentage points in a year and the highest level on record. The British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey, which covers England, Scotland and Wales, found only a fifth of respondents (21%) are now satisfied with the NHS. This is down from 24% year-on-year and the lowest proportion since the survey began in 1983.
