I for one am extremely grateful for the little support the NHS is able to offer me. I can't get help with all my conditions and symptoms, but most staff do their best under difficult circumstances. What is needed is proper funding from central government. Spending taxpayer money on corporate care instead of NHS care means the money lines shareholder pockets, and less of us get treated. If the same money was put into our NHS, for the patients benefit, we wouldn't have patients waiting years for treatment or sleeping on the floor in corridors. These watchdogs need to open their eyes to what patients need.
Exactly. Andrew landsbury broke up our service with his proposals, adoptet by the tory government The tories have always been believers of plebs having to tip their hats to the rich-and they NEVER wanted an nhs in the first place
When corporate heads or politicians call for “efficiencies” or “increased productivity”, it always, always, always means cuts to costs such as wages and quality materials, cuts to staffing levels, and sadly, cuts to customer/patient service/care. As with Starmer’s “growth” strategy, the liars at the top would have us believe there is no limit to how much an economy can grow or how much more productive a human worker can be.
The NHS is a brilliant organisation that has saved my life. However, the agility of its workforce, at junior and senior levels, is glacial. There needs to be more empowerment and less hierarchy.
As I have said ,and I believe it all along the private operators winning contracts that should be given automatically ,should be removed from the equation and all the money given to them should be invested in the NHS and the service NOT to be run like independent competing units
Another case of trahison des clercs. Many in the media, politics, ICBs, CQC and NHSE pass the buck around but refuse to admit - because so many of them are actively complicit - what we all know: our NHS has been abolished.
In England it has been replaced by 42 local American accountable care systems. They are the spawn of neoliberal ideology and have ONE simple aim: to gouge maximum profit from the system; and TWO simple methods: deny care and screw staff.
The rest - of course not expressed so crudely - follows. And United Health, McKinsey, PWC, Larry Fink and Peter Thiel groan ever more under the accumulated weight of their ill gotten gains from the destruction of our common weal.
Labour and Tories are equally complicit; the only way to #TakeBackTheNHS is to form a movement of patients and staff to fight back actively - and to prevent people believing there's a Deformed saviour.

With much respect for your insights, I find grace and nuance to be unlikely with the new regime in DC.
