Why do we feel the need to deplete the resources of foreign nations like this instead of, y’know, training our own nurses?
I was a member of the public liaison for an “urgent treatment centre” being built slap bang next to our hospital’s A&E department. T you don’t have an accident or emergency and go to a private hospital in this country. They don’t have the equipment, expertise and facilities. You don’t die in private hospitals either. If you get that sick, they ship you out to an NHS unit where they know what they’re doing. Much of the departments within NHS hospitals are private concerns. Your GP controls the budget issued according to the number of patients they have…hence they have so many more than they can manage, paying those private services for you to use them.
Until now. This.. what I have seen happening here, will be happening all over the UK. It’s posh A&E.
These crazy long waiting lists are no accident. They want everyone to get used to coming home with a big fat invoice in their hands.
It took quite a bit of coaxing before they would admit their private status. Also that the renumeration packages for staff who are already notoriously underpaid for the superb level of care we receive from NHS staff, are an absolute insult. Let’s hope they enjoyed the clapping because it’s the closest thing they’ll get to a living wage.
Little more than a waitress or attendant to a bunch of hyperchondriacs who don’t want to share air with us peasants…if I was seriously ill, I know where I would want to be.
I will die before I pay for private healthcare (would lay out for the kids but not me). Some things are not for profiteering. Healthcare and education are two. It has no place in this country. It’s not just a matter of your contributions, but your parents and theirs before them.
Nepal needs its own medical personnel. This is yet another fcked up idea.
