It's time for another 9000+ views thread, it's gone a little stale in here. (then again maybe the viewers are more interested in Matt Hancock and I'm a Celebrity than the NHS ) how very 2023 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the NHS fit for purpose?

Still free despite what the Left peddle, its not being privatised, independent sources confirm this.

But do a little digging and you'll find the truth, babies needlessly dieing, the current aids and blood transfusion scandal and the billions £ spent every year on compensation claims, yes thats right tax payers billions payed out in part because foreign workers with false papers and qualifications are working on you're nearest and dearest, dont complain though because it ticked the right box in Harringay and Barrow. And of course they'll play the racist card 🙄


Consultants earning thousands privately on the side. It's not lack of money it's just managed badly internally.
Not to mention the killer nurse currently going through the judicial system.

£70k salaries for diversity managers, too many managers full stop.

A topic the Left like to stand on but is it fit for purpose in 2023?

And another thing, NHS workers moaning about the pandemic reminded me of soilders being interviewed saying they did'nt join up thinking they'ed ever be shot at/or in a war during the 1st Gulf War.
I remember my grandad saying the same about WW2 35 years ago, but he didnt drip about it according to my old man, he did his bit for the country and made a great life off the back of service, but then again he wasnt a sick Left Wing parasite looking for a 19% payrise. Lets pay a fair rate to all but not bow to the parasitic Left.

Just facts, just the facts.



It's never let me down and I decline free company Bupa health care because of this.

Well,my nearest hospital means a nr 100 mile round trip..yes nearly 100 mile..

We have no NHS ,dentists at all..round my way ,we did have one,once though..!

But recently ,I had some bad times,won't go into it but wernt good ..saw the doc ,within two days,second opinion from another doc .

Small op ,two weeks later,..100 mile round trip,..treated the problem ,treated with respect ..all sorted..

It seems to work ,but I hear lots of things about a manager for a manager and so on.

Y'know what they say don't get ill ,don't lose your job and above all don't go 15 mins to Oxford. !

Spot on, so bad the public would be horrified but it's about the only thing along with the education system the Left have to use as a rallying cry, both heavily Left instatutions.
I vaguely remember a tv program where they put a top businessman into a trust and he was staggered by the miss management and waste.

It's a pity there aren't more like you that see the picture 👍

All those managers vote Labour, the Left don't want it fixed they'd lose votes, equally they don't want you to know the truth because that's a forever vote loser.

It's in such a bad state now because it was underfunded in the *first place* - everybody knows that.
Today..... it's in a deep hole that's getting deeper.
Right now it's understaffed, relying on overseas.
The government should give *applicable* staff \ future staff (guys\gals on the 'front line') what they deserve, instead of being World Chearleaders for Ukraine.
Plus, badly run - too much bureaucracy for one - as you highlighted Teddy' , money going in the wrong places.

Apparently 2.4 billion paid out in negligence claims in 20/21
Underfunded hmm possibly
Mismanaged yes.

Unfortunately it's the NHS front line people who get it in the neck and suffer because everyone takes it out on them.
The overpaid underworked managers sit in the back rooms playing poker with everyone's lives as the deck of cards.

"How much do medical negligence claims cost the NHS?
According to NHS Resolution, the estimated ‘cost of harm' to the NHS in 2021/22 is £13.6 billion, which includes legal costs. This does not include the ‘hidden costs' of investigating these claims."

2020/21 £7.9 billion.

"The annual cost of harm arising from clinical activity during 2019/20 covered by the Clinical Negligence Scheme for Trusts was £8.3 billion in 2019/20, reducing from £8.8 billion for 2018/19."

NHS Resolution's provision at 31 March 2022 increased from £85.2 billion to £128.6 billion. £42.6 billion of the increase arises from a change to the HM Treasury long-term discount rates, an accounting estimate which places a value in today's prices on liabilities that are expected to fall due for settlement in the future.

Just the facts.

Here's the profit model aspired to by many.

According to a recent study by Johns Hopkins, more than 250,000 people in the United States die every year because of medical mistakes, making it the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer.

Wonder what the total amount of deaths would be if you added in those who couldn't afford to buy their way in to the medical system?


Just the facts....

Fraud in the NHS is harmful to patients and staff. We will work with the NHS Counter Fraud Authority to stamp it out.” According to our latest estimate, fraud costs the NHS £1.29 billion a year - enough money to pay for over 40,000 staff nurses, 5,000 frontline ambulances or 116,000 hip replacements.

Source.....the NHS

Your not going to get the 9000+ views you crave from your Stella infused thread with inane, irrelevant replies like that Topgun.
You'll probably need to go full retard again to jazz it up a bit.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
