I have now served the two month waiting period for my new Health Insurance fund, with still no sign of the Clearance Certificate from my old health fund - which they are legally required to provide within two weeks.

I decided in honour of the occasion to send a letter to a few MPs, given that the whole fund seems to be having a meltdown and be unable to actually provide all of its members with the cover they are paying for. The government partially funds and props up the whole system they really should at least try to make sure that the funds are fulfiling their obligations.
