I'm sorry, but I'm going to ask this again. DD was in hospital in 2008. The nurses, paediatric ward, didn't stop complaining about their working conditions during the 48 hours we were there. They also had time to squeal ad nauseum from 1am to 4am whilst complaining about their workload. That morning they were evidently too busy to get an 8 year old toast and milk after emergency surgery overnight. Her mother hadn't stayed. I looked after her, got her something to eat, with permission, read to her, etc.
Not the first time I'd heard nurses complain and certainly not the last. Having experienced that level of complaint (and there was a Labour government in 2008 although it was QEQM) and a level of disorganisation in the halcyon days of a Labour Government, I genuinely find it hard to believe that the complaints now aren't at least 50% politically motivated.
Why all the complaints in 2008 under a perfect Labour government?
For years on here MNetters have been told they shoukd be gratefulnfor sub-optimal care because it's free. A) It isn't and why do nurses think it is. B) why should anyone be gratefulbfor sub-optimal care?
Misplaced gratitude and the NHS's encouragement of it has a lot to answer for.
The NHS is not fit for purpose. It needs to be remained along the lines of social insurance schemes in much of Europe. Most nurses disagree with that. I fail to understand why any nurse would disagree with something that would lead to better outcomes for their patients if it were not for left wing ideologies.
The NHS is in the state it's in because of the people running it. For many years until very recently it was run by Simon Stephens one of Tony Blair's cronies. He allowed much of the mismanagement to happen not the Conservatives. Some lessons could be taught here to Machiavelli because in funding terms there has been more and more given to the NHS which has collectively mismanaged what it has been given.
The excuses for QEQM, Telford and Shroesbury are what exactly?
