@officialcalor I have an LPG bulk tank blocking access to a section of my garden that I asked to be removed IN NOVEMBER. I've called your team fortnightly since only to be told the uplift trucks haven't been on the road since October (>5 MONTHS?!) How do I get my tank removed?

I was told there are hundreds of people waiting in my region alone for uplifts and yet nothing is being done! How much longer am I expected to wait?

Issue one - competition ratios
When my cohort started medical school, the average competition ratio was 1.8/1, last year it was 4.7/1.
We do not know the full scale of the damage this year. However, these are the specialties we have number of applications data for.
2/16.
