Alarm bells are ringing loud and clear in the NHS - what will the new PM do to fix it?
It is easy to see why he and others are worried. Wherever you look, the system is on its knees. The waiting list for non-urgent treatment has ballooned, with nearly one in eight people in England currently waiting for care. Put this all together, experts warn, and patients are at risk. The Association of Ambulance Chief Executives warned that in July alone, nearly 40,000 patients may have come to harm.So what can be done about it? There is no simple solution. The problems being seen have been years in the making - they are not just pandemic-related.
Jeremy Hunt, who was health secretary during that period, is on record as saying it was probably his biggest single mistake of his stewardship of the NHS.Does the NHS need more money? Many argue it does. In the book, Side Effects, in which he recounts his experience of being treated for cancer as well as his thoughts on the health service, he makes the case for continuing with a universal system that means no matter how rich or poor you are, you are entitled to the same treatment.He points out that if the budget had been rising as quickly as it did in the 2000s, it would have been consuming close to 100% of gross domestic product by the mid-2070s.
An engineer once said to me in relation to some renovations “anything is possible, given money”.
It’s completely impossible if it’s not something they’re even going to attempt.
They still blame labour after 12 years in government, nothing said they have cut back on funding
Some of this money might have helped prevent this 🤔
The conservatives have no interest in fixing the NHS. They want it broken they want it gone.
They have no intention of fixing anything. They are selling off the entire NHS for parts.
Adding two single-digit numbers together: a near impossible job for new PM?
No. Stop it.
Reads like the Tories have commissioned this piece
Ask yourself how you can afford private healthcare insurance on top of inflation, the cost of living and energy bills let alone climate change impacts well within the next 5 to 10 years. Research the cost of private health insurance premiums before deciding to let the NHS go.
The NHS was founded from nothing after the destruction of WWII. Healthcare was wholly private in the UK, pre NHS. Gross inequality before then. Health of the UK, let alone WWII health impacts, hideous. If the NHS can be created in those circumstances, it can stay today.
And here we have it, the next stage of privatisation on the NHS. I've warned repeatedly the Tory apologist message will be we can't afford the NHS anymore. bbcnews is now part of that messaging. Don't fall for it.
Because you have run it into the ground so you can privatise it.. not falling for it sorry
It is a fairly logical fix actually stop cutting national insurance and make corporations pay a bigger percentage into the pot then fund it properly.
A impossible job for a tory
The NHS can be fixed but not by the Conservatives they want to sell it off. Conservatives ScotTories trussliz RishiSunak
Why are you pretending that fixing the NHS is even what they want to do? It can be fixed. Neither want it fixed. They want it sold.
RishiSunak NHSDigital NHS Don't worry, we've got you! We've got the cures, all you have to do is implement them into your service. Nature's Best.🤲🏼❤🕌
Holly looks different these days
It’s not impossible, they just need to have the motivation to do it. They are currently treating it like an old car that fails every MOT and needs extensive maintenance, but don’t want to spend the cash and then are blaming the car for breaking down again.
Rishi Sunak will probably be forced to do the only thing he knows how to do, create new taxes.
The Tory party don’t want the NHS. They want people to pay for Private, that way those who can’t pay will perish, in line with the WEF plan, and those who can will be charged extortionate fees & the Govt will continue to take the NI etc fee already but with no product in return.
Floaty head will fix it
First run it down, then sell it off. That’s how they’ll fix it. Just like every other public service/utility we used to have
Not that difficult; need to pay for some decent management & decent management doesn't come cheap. The management structure of the NHS is as bad as anything I have seen. How can you expect ex medical staff to run a multinational. The staff are fantastic & being sold short.
They set out to destroy it…and they will, vote these hoods out!!!
We all know this is not a real leadership race. The public want Rishi but the world economic Forum want Truss
Well they kinda broke it.
No, because fix means privatization.
Showed much early promise but became overly politicised, bloated and wasteful, micromanaged and inefficient, government and NHS, cheeks of the same arse.
Funding it would be a start
But surely that was the plan all along. Then sell it to insurance companies in exchange for loads of shares which they sell for loads of cash.
Maybe just try investing some money in it.
Not impossible, but the will to do it is essential.
For a competent, patriotic prime minister & gives a damn & loves their fellow Brits, this is entirely achievable. For these two vampires, determined to bleed sick Britons for profit, I doubt they have any intentions to fix anything.
Fake fake fake pedobbc news. You’re enemy of we the people of the world. We don’t need your propaganda news. Down you go pedobbc fake news. Wake up U.K.. wake up U.K.. wake up U.K.
They have no wish to fix it. Quite the opposite in fact.
Dun think can fix … get ready to bankrupt all previous PM badly screw up almost everything
Turn back the boat's you have money to spend on NHS UK
An impossible job for people who have broken it in the first and do not want to fix it.
For a new Tory PM* fixed that for you BBC
Mr. Potato head or Holly from RedDwarf FFS
It takes time to train more it dose.....12 years in at what point don't the British pubic understand you can not trust our NHS under the Tories hands 12 years 20 years ? at witch point can you not see it .
What a ridiculous headline. As if the Tories want to fix the NHS. They decided to cut health spending way below other G7 countries as a portion of GDP. This is why the NHS is in a poor state. It was a Tory political choice.
The last 12 years under Tory governance has intentionally and systematically broken the NHS in order to privatise by stealth. They can't fix it because there is no will to fix it. It is not in their dogma. NHSCrisisNow NHSBetrayal
Impossible for people who don't believe in it.
