Karleen, I have zero interest in sport, but I enjoyed the opening ceremony
and it was great to see the tribute to the NHS. Some commentators have
criticised it for bringing 'party politics' into the ceremony, but in fact,
support for the NHS is utterly mainstream and these comments have in their
own turn been rebutted by the view that it is astonishing to think of it as
party political.

Our NHS as a whole does support breastfeeding and breastfeeding mothers but
the execution of this support is not perfect.
