It isn't just about the funding. As explained by several of us earlier.And how many swallow the lie that it isn't about the funding? Amazing people believe it's down to structure and reform. Same old lies by the same old party that, like wanting to get out of the EU, wants to dismantle the NHS.
you don't actually know that though do you. The % of GDP funding to the NHS has been cut by the tory party. Under the Labour admin 97-2010 it was consistently higher.Harry Wilson’s Tackle
I don’t have a solution- I don’t believe anyone does but the model of the NHS is broken and to continue without drastic reform will not solve the problem. You could pretty much throw £Xbillion at it now and the problems will continue
Where's the data / info. coming for that?did you know UK staffing for beds is 3 times that of France or Germany? maybe how we provide services needs changing.
Think you find most people do, shorter waiting times.Anyone with private medical insurance should be compelled to use that rather than the NHS where possible.
Not highest ever- highest since ratings began in 1983 - second highest NHS satisfaction ratings 2016 (65%)you don't actually know that though do you. The % of GDP funding to the NHS has been cut by the tory party. Under the Labour admin 97-2010 it was consistently higher.
In 2010, the NHS had it's highest satisfaction ratings ever. Now its' probably the lowest it's ever been. The Lansley reforms done around 2012 were dreadful and are have made it far worse.
Our ratio of beds/Doctors/Nurses to patients is far lower than many other similar sized countries.
The Tory party decimated social care, and now surprise surprise we're finding that it's causing knock on issues with the NHS.
In the run up to this winter, various high up NHS chiefs were saying they weren't going to be able to cope with the Winter rush . The tory party were too busy running their own internal battles to actually do anything about it rather than chuck out a few vague platitudes.
It definitely does need more money, get the workforce back on side and as an aid to boost recruitment.
It also needs a cross party consensus to remove the political element from it and put in a long time plan to make it function properly.
Well, there is a danger of this thread becoming as nuanced and convoluted as the tories want to make it.Huge, massive subject - and it's clear the NHS is struggling - due to so many reasons - but I thought the below was interesting.....
Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), which reported in September 2021: “It is worth noting that even without any top up, health spending is set to account for an ever-growing share of total day-to-day public service spending: 44% by 2024−25, up from 42% in 2019−20, 32% in 2009−10, and 27% in 1999−00.
Worlds fifth largest employer - something is going drastically wrong somewhere.
link to your data, please.Not highest ever- highest since ratings began in 1983 - second highest NHS satisfaction ratings 2016 (65%)
A Labour/Liberal coalition is the most likely way to get PR, which is the beat way of insuring that there's never another Tory landslide (or Labour for that matter) and keeping those bastards away from anything of value is the most important thing.It was the coalition bit that amused me most.
You won't fix anything with coal. Fact.
I'd say that every member of the House of Commons and House of Lords and their families should be prohibited from using private healthcare (and private schools for that matter).Anyone with private medical insurance should be compelled to use that rather than the NHS where possible.
"Nurse to hospital beds" is the given metric. though aware not all "beds" are equal between countries, its interesting nonetheless.What do you mean by staffing for beds? Laundry staff? Mattress manufacturers?
Since 1983, NatCen Social Research’s British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey has asked members of the public about their views on, and feelings towards, the NHS and health and care issues generally. Since 2011, The King's Fund has reported on its findings.link to your data, please.
The link is to data on the ratio of number of nurses to number of hospital beds. You realize it would be three times the value in Germany if there are three times more beds in Germany? Could perhaps the main reason for the long waiting lists in the UK and early discharge times be shortage of beds, due to repeated tory ward closures?did you know UK staffing for beds is 3 times that of France or Germany? maybe how we provide services needs changing.
At the moment maybe, but often when something is free and available people will use it regardless.Think you find most people do, shorter waiting times.
I asked myself: What has 2014 got to do with today? How was the question worded? How was the 65% calculated?Since 1983, NatCen Social Research’s British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey has asked members of the public about their views on, and feelings towards, the NHS and health and care issues generally. Since 2011, The King's Fund has reported on its findings.
Overall public satisfaction with the NHS increased to 65 per cent in 2014 – the second highest level since the British Social Attitudes survey began in 1983. Dissatisfaction with the service fell to an all-time low of 15 per cent.
I suppose that my feelings on the matter are that all too often the finger is pointed at “The current Government” whether it’s now or back in 2010 or 1978 the same problems are highlighted. My view is Healthcare needs to be means tested and a hybrid of free for those that can’t afford it and insurance for those that can, more than that I cannot say. I don’t believe it is a political party problem as such, simply an outdated system which is impossible for any government to fund adequately
As I have discovered, only a tiny part of the story."Nurse to hospital beds" is the given metric. though aware not all "beds" are equal between countries, its interesting nonetheless.
