Uk is a big franchise, which i dont agree with. We had brilliant electric companies all purchased by the French and Germans, dont know how we could had stopped that.
Good post by you study, not too leftish. I think we all know taxes are far too low for our country to continue with its outgoings, but the elite only care for the hand that feeds them, the globals. I dont know the answer, but the maths of austerity, refugees & a growing low wage influx isnt going to create any income apart for the rich who own the renting market. Personally i dont anyone should spend a penny at companies that dont pay full tax. I have a list. |

You ever watched Rik Mayalls film called One By One ? Divide and rule is very pretty much the strategy , he was telling us this and look where he is now |

Can't blame the people sending of 100+ job applications and getting no reply because FAT CATS find cheap labour they got millions to pick from now not just 1-2 going toe to toe for that job. Go to any factory and see who pours out i guarantee you won't see many talking English or going to the shops to spend any cash or boozers for that matter. All spend as little as possible nothing goes back into the UK hardly but yeah let them all in. You see many foreigners in supermarkets ? Na they all buy of the local as all related |

140,000 hospital beds in the UK as opposed to 350,000 in 1980
An interesting opening post, Studyform and I would agree with much of it. I would be interested to know where the figures for hospital beds highlighted above came from and what they include as I suspect it's not a fair comparison. In 1980, hospitals had geriatric wards, even geriatric hospitals, (my wife worked in one), where the elderly spent their final weeks and months, sometimes years. This function has now been largely passed to the private sector where the beds still exist in nursing homes providing palliative care. Perhaps a better comparison might be the number and complexity of operations carried out today compared with 1980. |

140,000 hospital beds in the UK as opposed to 350,000 in 1980 Like you say people died more on Hospitals back then as they got all hooked up and couldn't move Now people get sent home with bags of pills and die at home around the family |

3 out 4 my Grandparents died at home and one in a nursing home so the bed was there
No one died in pain either |
|
By:
"No one died in pain either" Well so you get told but no long term suffering pain
|
|
By:
Anecdotal experience will vary widely, the chaser, but many more elderly were catered for in hospital back then rather than in nursing homes. Patients recovering from operations are, as you mentioned, often sent home earlier today.
The dying do seem to suffer a lot though and are kept alive for longer than necessary in some cases, but that's the law. |

In early 2000s i was in Hospital for a small operation due to an infection in a tooth that the dentist fecked up and i left it unattended as it wasn't sore or that until one day my mouth had ballooned out.I was in for the day/night op the next Morning or maybe even the 2nd Morning.Then they kept me in for 2-3 more nights when i could have just gone home i suppose but they wanted to keep an eye on me.I can't remember them checking on me much i was smoking outside with my drip on a wheel thing and that only time they said you got blood in your tube for the drip you need to lift it higher

"No A&E's, or cottage hospitals closed or sold as business premises, GP's closing their books, NHS Direct sending everyone to A&E which can't cope, far too many managers, centralised Ambulances, overburdened paramedics, people expected to ask their local chemist!!!!"...
I saw this start first hand on a large scale in the 1980s, the steady dismantling of the tried and trusted practises, reductions across the board in medical staff, only to be replaced by 'managers interested only in their budgets and their career paths. Countless psychiatric care hospitals closed and sold off to developers to construct lucrative private housing projects. replaced by the ludicrous the cuddly sounding 'Care in the community scheme/scam'. Cottage hospitals had all but gone by this time. "Staff (and we all will have seen this) spend virtually their whole shift looking at computer screens and not at patients"..... The dehumanisation of care has reduced us to digits on a monitor fronting algorithmic, budget and target controlled care models, a one fits all approach which flies in the face of not only the Hippocratic Oath, but also Good practice and forward looking proactive care which is the least expensive option in the longer term anyway. Short termism practised on the sick for bottom line targets, by couldn't care less 'managers; Too many to list her, but start with Stafford and explore all other 'Trusts in an direction up and down the country in the preceding years. |

Just to add the constant enormously expensive tinkering by successive governments, in a quest for a quick fix back door privatisation via firstly APMS and more recently the Health and Social Care Act of 2012, IE, Clinical commissioning, below is a is copied from a much longer article..
clinical commissioning is a complex activity requiring, for example, legal knowledge, expertise in running contracts and on-going monitoring of contracts, as well as back office support such as IT, human resources and financial services. Most GPs don’t have the time or skills to carry out all the work of commissioning. So, while CCGs will retain legal accountability for this work, many of the functions of commissioning have already been taken over by Commissioning Support Units (CSUs)...who stepped in to the void created by the abolishment of NHS Primary Care Trusts allowing PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES!! professional contract negotiator/deal closers to take over, the role they had previously 'shared' (reah right) Capita, Serco and Atos among the first snouts in the through. It's afar too deliberately complicated process of erosion to put on here. Maybe a more knowledgeable eloquent, forumite could elucidate. |

I have loads of ideas to help fix the NHS. It isn't as difficult, imo, as the politicians would have us believe.
There are too many vested interests to undertake many easy fixes. Things which come to mind are: *Not giving contracts to other companies, thus saving jobs (which are usually the 'cuts' then made). *Negotiating better with Pharmaceutical companies. As the biggest buyer in the UK, possibly one of the biggest in the world, better deals can surely be made. Because it's trusts they are all smaller buying centres for services, machinery, dressings as well as drugs. *Employing more doctors and sacking most of the managers. *Not having WH Smith and Costa Coffee etc etc having franchises (and ripping patients and visitors off) but owning all outlets and keeping all profits for the NHS, without ripping its customers off. They already own the land. *Same for vending machines. *Keeping and running all their own car parks. Charges could be reduced and It would cost a lot less than the masses made by the outsourced companies running them now. *Less centralisation and more local services, it is not good for anyone to have large hospitals an hour from where people live for LOADS of obvious reasons. *Proper control on Consultant's fees/wages and hours of work. Some of them take the slash. *No allowing Doctors and Dentists to train at OUR expense then quitting to do private work, any who do should pay it all back. And many others which I'm sure we could think of. |

I completely agree with all you've written. GP's are suffering too, they can now only do one of 2 things..... Give out pills and/or refer you to hospital. The time then taken depends on geography. They rarely make home visits, seldom do proper examinations - and in most cases a 10 minute appointment is very strictly enforced and hard to get. the whole thing is in trouble. I wonder..... Do the MPs and Politicians responsible for the NHS, REALLY use it, or do we pay for their private healthcare? I honestly don't know the answer to this. |
