So the NHS has long gone

At what point do we think the government will do something about the massive elephant in the room the NHS has fucked off out of the window and is never returning.

This healthcare no man’s land is quite frankly terrifying. What are your predictions on this? All I keep reading is “it will get worse”. Can it actually get any worse?

That may well be true.. though i'm not sure all MN posters are truthful and don't make things up.

The NHS scores highly on efficiency in comparison with other healthcare systems so i'm not sure why there is all this "apparent" waste?

DD tells me of shocking over spend with the privatised elements esp on medical aids for living at home (for those able to claim)

This is an old survey 2018 but the efficiency stuff should still be relevant but what stands out is low numbers of med staff and equipment/scanners.

But the things we are discussing aren't even categories in this report?

Absolutely this.

And I also think some stuff is made up, including for political reasons.
Although some isn't, and there is a huge variation in access to GP services, especially after some of it was sold to US companies.
