London ambulances will only wait 45 minutes.....

From the land of haribos.

Before leaving patients in corridors. I read an article about it and apperently it comes as the time limit raises questions about where patients will be left and who will tend to them, given hospitals are already overstretched.

The decision comes amid growing pressure on the nhs, with paramedics often left waiting for hours outside hospitals before being able to hand over patients to overstretched a&e departments.

The 45minute limit in london is intended to ease pressure on the capitals ambulance service,

What is your view of it, how have it come to this and can the nhs be saved? Is it down to the 12 years of the tories that have lead it to this? I hope they find a solution to it.

We already have a successful NHS thread going, what's wrong with using that one?

That's how triage works

Yes it sounds outrageous but where would you rather be left with your injury/ condition: at home or an area surrounded by medical professionals and equipment?

There also has to be a limit that an ambulance hangs around. All the while that they're waiting at the hospital is time that they can't be responding to other emergencies, which (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm no expert) is their main role, isn't it?

He paid for a private GP etc. It is criminally what has happened to the NHS considering we are a first world country.

There were certainly some distressing reports on the news last night with interviews from patients and medical staff. One paramedic said in certain circumstances they were advising people to take casualties to hospital in their car. Another woman whose elderly father fell was told the wait time in a and e was 62 hours so they decided not to go.

The ambulance service specifically has been under intense pressure for some time but currently it's not coping. The staff must be at their wits end

. While I applaud his optimism and generosity in saying that maths A level will not be compulsory I am very glad my school days are over. I have decent every day maths skills but if I'd had to pass an A level I'd still be going to school now.

My daughter did NVQs in Art which took four years. During that time she had to continue with maths lessons (until she was 20!) and she still didn't pass her GCSE

Yes, would you also say that the brink of the collapse of the nhs, is down to the government? Even the chancellor has admitted it, it seems that he doesnt hold the same view as the pm does.

I'm not prepared to say that because there are many factors and I think we, the end users need to bear at least some of the responsibility. I do think though that successive governments have played a large part in bringing us to where we are now

If everyone is stuck in A&E waiting rooms then we need to replace all those random magazines there with maths textbooks. Use the time efficiently

Yes, there are many factors, maybe even brexit. I also heard that there are about 1500 free beds at the nhs, but there arent any staff to for it.

The purpose of the ambulance service is to save life and minimise damage ASAP.

To achieve that, they cannot be hanging around outside a hospital with someone in the back ready for treatment. They are no A&E overflow.

Overall I would assume that there will be significantly better long-term outcomes and fewer deaths if ambulances can get to those in need quickly.

I'm surprised that it's taken so long, but sometimes a temporary measure becomes a habit and needs to be actively challenged.

You are right in that we the end users need to be more responsible.

And maybe think twice before just calling 999 or turning up at AE.

I wonder how many MPs and ministers actually use the NHS? I imagine most of the Tories go private and so have no understanding or interest in the average member of the public’s experience of the NHS! It would be very interesting to know the answer I think

My company will be looking to cover every member of staff with private insurance as from both a business and a moral perspective, that's the only sensible thing to do.

Of course,now that demand for private insurance rises and are actually being used at a higher rate, premiums are going to rise...

I also hear that the Prime Minister is "not afraid" to use private care to help clear the backlog...

And there you have it…the asset strippers charter…restrict supply of assets while creating conditions of increased demand and then sell off to the highest bidder! The trouble being that eventually you run out of assets but I guess by then you have made your money and fucked off to a new life in Monaco or some other moral vacuum

The main problem with the NHS at the moment listening to staff , is the third of people stuck in a bed and unable to go into care . But why isn't anybody mentioning the tens of thousands of care staff , sacked earlier last year for not taking the vax ???

There weren't tens of thousands sacked.

The hospitals also have a high rate of flu and COVID this winter on top of everything else.

There doesn't actually paper to be any data on this. Only on what was expected before the mandate was dropped.

Could be an assumption and also that any drop in numbers is due to that factor alone.

Stems from lack of GP means GP appointments hard to get, therefore people going to a&e. 111 sending to a&e. People not wanting to wait go to a&e. People not utilising pharmacist. lack of social care staff means can't move medically fit patients out of hospital. Steams from staff retention due to pay.

Yawn.

500,000 "illegal" immigrants since when?

Are all queuing up to go to get medical care?

The NHS is in crisis due to how it has been (under)funded and mismanaged for decades along with care.

Just stop blaming others and accept that the responsibility is down to our Governments and our demands to pay less tax.

Focusing on immigration of any sort is a financial and mental distraction from fixing the actual problems.

Are all these asylum seekers all fit young men (as the racists all claim) or are they elderly and infirm clogging up the NHS? Make your mind up.
