Sir, – Could someone come up with an app that would smoothen out the A & E waiting times for the various hospitals by directing patients to the less busy ones?

Recently my son went to the local hospital and was done and dusted, X-ray and all, within two hours, while his friend spent most of the day being treated in another hospital for a similar complaint.

The difficulty I see is that the person most likely to come up with a solution is a 13 or 14-year- old school kid who does not read newspapers yet.

If parents and teachers passed on this request, they might be doing a great service to the public and help create a new millionaire. – Yours, etc,
