Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Increasing private healthcare involvement only drives more doctors and nurses out of the NHS to fill roles in higher paid private positions. This idea that the private sector will save the NHS is fucking mental. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Green Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Streeting is meeting the unions about the doctors strikes today, and has also signalled his intention to divert billions from the overall NHS budget toward "the front door" in order to facilitate GP appointments and improve waiting times. However I would have thought that more radical solutions to the nations health are more important - e.g. if we managed to sort even part of the obesity crisis, many of the pressures on the NHS would subside. My concern is that Streeting thinks that healthcare starts when people fall ill - this is entirely wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I strongly suspect that this administration is going to have the managerialist affliction of confusing targets and metrics with actual results. If private companies can provide extra capacity to do more routine operations in bulk then waiting lists for operations will come down. 10,000 people getting warts removed will show up in the stats (and soundbites) as a better outcome than 1,000 people getting melanoma removed. It won't be additional funds though, it will be funds that the NHS would otherwise have had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Pretty decent to be playing fives at 61. As the country gears into fully automated luxury Starmerism, this should form a principle aspect of the cult of personality. Like Kim Jong Il’s 11 holes in one, by 2028 the press should be full of accounts of how Starmer nutmegged Jude Bellingham while visiting the England team in their prison, sorry training camp for that years Euros. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One govt, in power for 17 years, has a flawless record, another in power for 4 days is shambolic As usual, Jedi, you are taking what I said and making up some nonsense about it. Firstly, please point out exactly where I said (or even suggested) that the SNP had a flawless record. That's just another lie from you. My view on Labour isn't influenced by the 4 days. It is influenced by their Tory-lite manifesto, which I have serious doubts about them managing to implement, even with their large majority. Obviously, it's up to them to prove me wrong, but I certainly didn't describe the last 4 days as shambolic. Please stop making up lies, and in future, try to respond to what I actually said, rather than making stuff up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
