SOS NHS

Ambulance strikes are not the threat to our safety - the Govt is

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Government planning to ‘allow the private sector’ to do more and more operations to ‘help clear the backlog’.
I wonder where those private hospitals will get their doctors from?
I wonder if the patients chosen for the private sector will be complex, co-morbid patients or the simple, easy to do ones?
I also wonder what will happen should any of those patients become seriously ill, or require critical care?
I wonder if any of the patients ‘chosen’ for the private sector will be unable to be discharged, even though they’re medically fit to so do?
I wonder if the private sector will train any doctors and nurses, whatsoever?
Are those hospitals allowed to just refuse to take patients on any given day?
Will those hospitals get the ‘going rate‘ for treating those patients, even though they’re much less complicated?
I wonder what will happen to hospitals who are now losing money as they’re paying premium rates to agency staff to keep treating urgent patients?

In case anyone else is wondering, the answers are:
Mostly the NHS
Simple
Be blue lighted to their nearest NHS hospital
No
No
Yes
Of course they will.
Told they must ‘balance the books’

It‘s almost like the private sector will, having been given every advantage possible, prove to be ‘more efficient’………Tories eh, what are they like?

Not 'what are they like' - but how the f**k do they get away with it

I live in a relatively affluent area and see wrinklies walking out of the village shop with a copy of the Dollaly Mail under their arms and dispair, what do they think about as they read the claptrap

The NHS should be an open goal for Starmer, but worryingly he hasn't got too much to say about it.

On form, he''ll leave it to public opinion to shift to widespread outrage first. When the perception that this was mismanagement and cronyism becomes widespread, then it's time. Pretty sure he's doing the same with Brexit. Public opinion is only going in one direction. He won't push it, he'll let it solidify and then the party will pick it up. Very slowly, in the case of Brexit. It's perhaps one way to get us out of the constant uturns and viscious stupid arguments that leave us in crisis. Public opinion is fickle and having us 'on the front line' arguing it out all the time then going with the flow is a recipe for disaster, if you're silently stoking the debate and setting people against each other to cream off a series of wins in the short term. That was Boris' way. But if you let them run their course, people get tired and realise they can't do the job. They realise their limitations. That's pretty much what needs to happen.

I think that's pretty close.

The trouble with the NHS is the vastness of the problems and how they've been undermined/hived off to private health. It's very difficult to go after everything, and evidence suggests that no-one will engage directly with any points made.

I don't know how Labour can attack the treatment of the NHS in a way that will register properly with anyone who thinks it's all fine. The ambulance strike and nurses strike may focus people's attention on it.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Health secretary today saying health workers striking will leave old folk dying on the floor. My mum spent 3hrs drifting in and out of consciousness on her bedroom floor after a major stroke in February and there were no fucking strikes then. Wankers, they've deliberately run the health service into the ground for ideological reasons.

Prioritising getting rid of the House of Lords should sort that out………

Not doing it by stealth anymore

It's Starmer he would like to get passionate about it but he's a bit pissed with the NHS himself. 3 years he's been waiting to have those splinters removed from the arse.

Along with removing charitable status from private schools. These are the real issues of our time…..
