Did anyone watch this on ITV late last night?

It was embargoed during the election period and then given a barely noticeable Tuesday night slot.

It genuinely shocked me with some completely new information.

Please forget our political differences. The subjects raised affect and should concern us all.

It is a very important piece of work which I urge you to watch. I am sure it can be found on catch up TV and think it is also being shown in some cinemas.

So far as I can see it has received no comment in the media. It really needs to. Please watch.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Yes they are.

I have written many times on my experience at United Health. They won't rest until they get a BIG slug of the NHS action.

Watch the film and don't please make any assumptions about what it says. It's not from any kind of "left wing" perspective. It looks at the way that many things have been hidden from us and/or disguised as developments.

It criticised the way the NHS has been handled by the Labour Party even more strongly than it did the Tories.

I urge you to try to keep political bias out of this. Unless you hate the principal behind the NHS and want to see an American style of insurance funded healthcare in the UK what this film reveals ought to concern us all.

Kinda gives it away.

Propaganda

Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers

If parts were 'privatised' ( about 8% is now I think,in some capacity) then it would be parts that are harder to manage from the governments own resources.
Probably would still be free and like now allow you to pay if you wanted to.
Same doctors different clinic.
The pharmacy/ drugs side of it has always been a negotiated best price arrangement.
A poster made a point a while back whereby at present a majority of our medication is patent parts ,so to speak.
If the usa supplied the originals at probably a higher cost yes; then it could mean they are more effective so curing more people. I dont see how any patent drug (ibuprofen etc excluded) can be more effective or even as effective as the original.
That's a fact with most things generally tbh.
The failings with the nhs atm appear to be revisits from people who could be helped outside of hospitals in the community.
That's being looked at by boris as we speak I believe.
It also doesnt help that probably 25% of hospital and doctors patients are similarly the same portion who regularly waste police time.
No WE I cant evidence this but it is muted in certain news and reports at certain times.
Doesnt help either that when changes are suggested in the nhs the doctors seem to have an overall say and enmass reject them out of hand.
Too many managers also play a role as I've posted before.

I haven't watched the documentary yet, but will.

But having dealt with the NHS from a business perspective and knowing a number of people that work in it in different fields, my perception is ;

It can't keep pace with the demand on it
It is badly managed
No matter how much money is thrown at it, it's never enough

It's a reversal of the '' too big to fail '' banking mentality, it's now too big to succeed.

It's also been used as a political football by the 2 main parties which rarely helps anything.
