"We all know that the conservativs have tried to distroy the nhs every time they get in They have tried cutbacks to kill nhs They have tried privatisation to kill nhs Are they now trying covid. When nhs is declaring not inough staff to run and boris says everythings ok and they are telling nhs docs stop seeing folks at surgerys and consentrate on jabs. Are the conservativs onto a wining formula to finaly break the nhs in such a way it will never recover. Whats youre opinion" Good grief | |||

The NHS is no longer a medical service It is a political organisation that makes money for unnecessary manager lebels the top management whereas porters, cleaners, junior nurses are being " screwed " Yes the great NHS lie | |||

The NHS is no longer a medical service It is a political organisation that makes money for unnecessary manager lebels the top management whereas porters, cleaners, junior nurses are being " screwed " Yes the great NHS lie " Pretty much what I've been saying for years. In some areas it does a good job and there are many exemplary front line staff. But it is grossly overmanaged and NHS has almost become a by word for waste. It doesn't matter how much money is thrown at it, it will just disappear down a bottomless pit. And it will always demand more and more, but nothing will change. It will continue to be a political football with all sides promising more money that will either never appear or be just chucked down the drain. It's worth remembering that it didn't improve much (if at all) in the Blair/Brown years and they left the country shackled to PFI. Is privatisation the answer? Maybe, but why is private health care always compared to the American system? I don't think anyone would want to go down that road but it is always flagged up as the example of how privatisation would work. Usually by the left who prefer to keep the status quo. If you look a bit closer to home instead of constantly looking across the pond you will see that private heath care works very well in many countries. The German system by far outshines the NHS and yes it is private, albeit controlled and monitored by government. No six month plus waiting lists here, no waiting weeks to see your GP. If I wanted to see mine I would phone up on Monday and could be in on the same day. Worst ways up in a day or two. When I needed a minor op a few years ago I saw the doctor, got an appointment with a specialist the next day, and was done and dusted the following week. And all free at the point of use. If health care is your primary concern then tell me what is so wrong with that? Britain needs to ask itself, does it want a health system that works or a job creation scheme that does a bit of health care on the side. I would just add that (covid aside) Politian's here tend not to get too involved in the day to day running of health care and apart from a policy decision or two let it look after itself. They certainly don't constantly use it as a stick to beat each other over the head with. Boris and Keir take note. | |||

"The best systems, are the ones that take the best of all worlds. Wholesale privatisation is not the answer, nor is total state control. " Absolutely right. | |||

"Half a million people go bankrupt in the USA every year because they got “the wrong sort of” ill, or just were not insured at all. Right wing philosophy is all about the free market and it applies to all aspects of services - including health. If the Conservatives could get away with privatising the NHS, they would do it in a heartbeat because it fits their ideological cause. It won’t happen in a heartbeat, but it is happening bit by bit anyway. Covid has demonstrated this." you know fine well it will never happen it’s political suicide for any party always as been always will be | |||

"The ridiculous right wanting to cancel the NHS since 1946. Yet the Tories have been in power for longer than Labour since 1946 And its still here" And funded higher than ever. The anchor around many NHS trusts is paying back the PFI debts that were brought in by Bliar to build more hospitals (great) but not to use government money to do it. | |||

Relative to other big OECD countries we could do a lot better with spending and especially recruiting doctors but the big issue is that this has been on going for a decade. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/healthcaresystem/articles/howdoesukhealthcarespendingcomparewithothercountries/2019-08-29 | |||

Maybe more to it but on the surface it sounds excellent. How does the cost compare to the nhs setup? Do you have to take out private care or can you just stick with the state side of things? | |||

"The NHS is a poison chalice for any party There are many many problems ask anyone who works in it about Waste Over managed Society making poor lifestyle choices resulting in needing NHS Fraud Inefficiency Funding is a small part of the problem I think anyone would struggle to sort it throwing money at it won’t you might as well set fire to it Constantly Blaming underfunding doesn’t help it gives people the mindset it just need more money and everything will be ok " From family experience a lot of this rings true. | |||
