You can keep adding a million people to the population each year, or you can have a functioning health service. You can’t have both.
I hope and pray that Labour understands this when they inevitably take power.
As planned, it’s been the Tories’ intention to make the service so shit that people have no choice but to go private if they want any quality of life.
This is the low hanging fruit. Anything which is high risk and not profitable is left to the NHS.
Note the amount of adverts for private health now, Tories have been in discussion with them for years.
Weren’t people complaining about long waiting lists a second ago?
No its a bad thing that some of them get handled by the private sector?
NHS model needs rethinking. Trying to cover all medical needs is ridiculous. Time to privatise a significant amount of healthcare and let people decide if they want to pay and how much they’re willing to pay.
Problem is extortionate prices. I had to do some bloodtests, in another European country the test for strep antibodies was like 10 quid if you add it do the full flood count, here they charge over 200 quid for the same exact test + 75 quid blood draw fee. It’s mental
I know someone who has had to go private costing him £4k, he is in immense pain where he is unable to work and NHS would be making him wait months.
Hmm seems to completely disregard choose and book which allowed and you still can.. have your elective procedures done at a private hospital which is contracted to provide nhs services.
Even before this a hospital I used to work in contracted out to the private hospital on the same site as it as far back as 2005 in order to help waiting lists
Everyone I know that’s had surgery in the past few years has had it privately.
Why? Because the alternative is long term suffering.
They may all like the NHS but we’re only alive for a finite amount of time…and I wouldn’t want that time to be in needless pain and suffering.
Training of doctors and nurses etc should be ‘free’ provided the work they are doing is for the NHS. Step outside and then student loan repayments kick in on anything you earn. At the bracket that would be applied for your nhs and private salary combined
