A&E delays causing up to 500 deaths a week, says the president of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine.

  1. Who needs protestors blocking the road and stopping one person getting to hospital when you’ve got a Conservative government that can do this 100x more effectively?

  2. Well, pushing the NHS to fail is the fastest way for tories to enrich their donors at the trough of privatised health care.

  3. It boggles my mind that pensioners are the Tories biggest voter base. They’re the NHS biggest service users. And they consistently vote for *this*.

  4. Govt realised in the pandemic they could “let the bodies pile high” and nobody would give two hoots. 500 a week is chump change to those ghouls, much more important to look tough against the unions.

  5. Remember when everything was shut down and the whole economy (potentially justifiably) to stop deaths, but now the government can’t cough up enough for a decent pay rise?

    Absolute joke

  6. Let’s hope that the main people that this is happening to are the people that voted for it with this government. It’d be unfair for people who voted against this to receive an unnecessary death.

    And before the holier than thou mob attack me… I’m not “wishing” death upon anyone…. I’m just stating if unnecessary deaths are going to happen it should be the people that voted for all of this.

  7. My dad went in today with a suspected burst appendix. 6 hour waiting list for ambulance, so it’s a good thing he could get a lift. Wait to get inside the A&E. Luckily a paramedic nearby helped.

    It’s been 6 hours and he’s not had his CT scan yet! For a suspected burst appendix! I’m just imagining bacteria spreading all over his body and sepsis 😭

    He’s got morphine though at least. My heart goes out to everyone experiencing similar and worse. What do you do with the anger and pain of losing someone to something treatable?

    Fuck the Tories. This is a nightmare.
