Wait for the manifestos... When are they out? Opposition manifestos are a fantasy. Everyone but the totally gullible knows it.

I would like whoever is in power to review the NHS from top to bottom. Everything from funding and training to use and where private health fits in. The trouble is it will take years and anyone who mentions it in a manifesto will get slaughtered and accused of trying make cuts. We cannot carry on the way we are it was never designed to do what it is currently expected to do.

The inconvenient truth. Absolutely right. I'd start with the Contract Management and Tendering teams within the NHS, as they're either incompetent, corrupt or stitched up by illegal collusion between the bidders.

A pal of mine who worked in the NHS for about twenty years once told me that it was literally impossible to be sacked for incompetence or failure to perform duties. Whether the management feared the unions, or (which I think is more likely) there was simply a gentlemen's agreement to lead a quiet life, I don't know. But that's the sort of extreme sloppiness that occurs when money is endlessly poured into an organisation.

Frankly the NHS is ripe for reform but no one has the balls, left or right, to do it.

Even without immigration that's a successful reality. The argument is about the proportion of GDP.....aren't we amongst the lowest in Europe? Edited by Stirlingsays (03 May 2017 9.43pm)
