The Destruction of the NHS...

[lotus]

Again I`m not sure I can follow the point - public/private partnership is bad at all and doesn`t work for people needing the emergency service? I only know some private or p/p rescue stations here - and the law says, they have to run the same standard (qualification of their workers and paying fair money and others things) - some private ones are able to do a kind of "no profit job", and often you as a user meet a good team, but sometimes ( ) not .... private or public/private or public - angles and assh**les are everywhere

Bump
So nhs England have decided that if you haven't been to the doctors in the 5 years you will be struck by your gp . Yes they will send you a letter, you might have changed address, maybe English isn't your first language. Surely this can't be right

[Master Ray]

Yeah, saw that today.

Also, and I can't believe I missed this, Jeremy Hunt is still Health Secretary.

Well, Meet The New Boss, ah, we all know the way that quote ends.

So parts of nhs England have banned smokers and obese people from getting even routine surgery. Worth remembering that smokers contributed £14 billion per annum to the economy on tobacco excise duty alone, nevermind what they added in national insurance and other taxes

And ultimately legal. Whereas drugs use, drink drivers, speeding cars,pub brawlers etc are not. But they get treatment. Hows that work then?

Hows that work then?

It doesn't - just a good headline for distracting the masses

Probably....but its not the first time its been put out. Its a bit like testing the bath water. One day itll be cool enough.

[Wessexy Witch]

Goes without saying.
How much would my 2 life saving operations cost me ?
The week long stays for testing ?
2 check ups a week ?
Endless MRI,CAT,X RAY scans ?

The fact that even though I work 35 hours a week I don't earn enough to pay the tax that has paid for all of this ^^^.

 
makes me boil

[Master Ray]

True that, WW.

Charing Cross Hospital - bastards 

[Master Ray]

Blimey, started this thread years ago... it's sad that it's still getting responses from folks so worried about the NHS.

The Charing Cross thing... disgusting.  And the Maybot re-appointed Cu... sorry, HUNT as the person in charge?  Despite pretty much EVERY intelligent source of information putting him down as the wrong person for the job?

It appears 13% of the hospital will be left ................ services to be farmed out across already overstretched local facilities .................... 

p.s. just shows you how long this destruction has been going on - and go google cos the lies are there as part of history.

So many figures about CHARING CROSS HOSPITAL there 

Although in fairness (cos I'm like that  ) perhaps my second post last night didn't make it clear I was still blithering on about CHX.

Still I'm convinced those stats are independently verified as an accurate statement of fact

The real workers ie the doctors and nurses have done a brilliant job over the last few weeks especially.  Also a massive credit must go to the all the emergency services. Yes there has been huge cuts that would have made a massive difference
