Also, I noticed a couple of posters have mentioned protecting the NHS
I do wonder how much experience you have of the NHS
Sadly, mine over the years has been extensive - for my parents mostly
i'm at the point where I'm quite scared of the NHS so I'm squirreling away money for private treatment in case any of my issues flare up. Some of my personal experiences have been quite frightening so I don't want to go back. It wasn't something where I could advocate for things to be done differently either. I'm fully able to advocate for myself. Since I moved home, I haven't even met my GP.
The real problem is the amount of wasted money in the system - and some incredibly power hungry people driving it to get more and more money out of government/taxpayers every year, for things that do not benefit patients.
It needs absolutely drastic reform. At the moment, pretty much none of the money is focused on patient care. It's a massive gravy train.
The oft repeated thing for London is that there are far more staff in a senior leadership team meeting than there are in A&E at any given time. This is a really serious issue.
I don't know that any party is going to tackle it because it will involve a number of redundancies. If the Greens are prepared to do that, great. But I'll be surprised. I presume the Tories didn't do it because they felt like they'd be blamed forever. Labour won't do it.
is anyone going to do it?
this country desperately needs organisation and efficiency. I can't see anyone offering it. But the least likely to do that would be Greens.
