Humza Yousaf absolutely silent. Should be a resigning issue. Who would you appoint in his place and what changes should the new Minister make? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not entirely sure what they want him to do. Is he meant to: 1. Hold the sheet over the doorway, or 2. Reverse Brexit on his own, or 3. Invent borrowing powers, or 4. As Jedi initially suggested, cut 20% from the police and fire budgets to pay nurses a 15% pay rise? Never any suggestions other than “resign” Edited January 6, 2023 by Wee Bully 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 13 hours ago, The Skelpit Lug said: Just a reminder that when the Tories talk of 'reform' they of course mean privatisation. Any talk of them increasing funding is a sham if it goes nowhere near addressing it's needs. But that's why. A slow painful death driven by a disgusting ideology. Their systematic running down of an institution with the greatest of aims - the health of all - is a disgrace. To plaster on a bus how many millions would be put into the NHS after Brexit is one of the greatest Tory cons ever. Well, so far. Imagine even thinking the right to strike could be made illegal. After privatisation, 'reform' means reduction of wages and conditions to increase profits. And it never, ever stops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorter waiting times, more GP’s per head of population, nurses and ambulance staff not yet striking.

Here are the achievements of the current Secretary for Health sine he was put in post 19 months ago. 1. Waiting list increased to the longest on record. 2. Near permanent month on month fall in meeting A & E targets. 3. Increase in cancelled operations. 4. Increase in ambulance response times. 5. Increase in delayed discharge. 6. Words cancer waiting times in the last decade. Abject failure and seemingly unaccountable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't the fans (nor taxpayers) responsibility to appoint a competent person or decide on the tactics. However 18 months is clearly enough time to have an opinion on competence. Just ask Aberdeen fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you would prefer him to have longer waiting times and still be more likely to die? Generational issues with heart disease in Glasgow (as an example) aren’t going to disappear overnight, although they are decreasing. Shuggy (sadly) has always been more likely to die. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Days Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Sunak, for all the good he is, at least has a meeting with NHS leaders today.
