The NHS hasn't worked for 40 year's, mainly because it's staff are infected with left wing nonsense.

Whilst making themselves rich instead.

Erm, we're you one of those that wanted the economy locked down and 450bn borrowed to pay for it, and didn't consider ANY of the consequences? Then throw in strikes and politicised unions and it's obvious what the problems are.

It wasn't any better under the socialists.

How much more money does this lazy orgainsation want before tax paying socialists start to squeak?

SDP Manifesto states they will rebuild it from bottom up. This guy may say it's not a shrine but it is... It's British culture. It's important 😊

SDP promise to rebuild it from scratch can't keep throwing money at stakeholders or throw money at Dr's and nurses already understaffed and say they can sort it by making them work eves and weekends that's nonsense. And then they will crash it. It's our culture

That's because they are. The watchword when my father got the op working was Leonardo da Vinci's comment that the body's a marvellous machine, so they used engineering skills to fit the implants. As quick as changing a motorbike cylinder, your job is to heal - 11 days - and then exercise. Gently. The only reason to be in is if other medical conditions impact that.

My dad went private, and guess what, they tried to con my dad, the gave us a precise quote, and now they’re trying to add a sneaky £400 for the x ray consultant because they’re contractors.

@@bigawdays5724 Sounds like someone's packing the bill. A consultant? Sounds like the road mender on Harley Street calling himself a Harley Street Specialist.

@@JelMain We also offered the doctor that my father have new x ray graphs taken in the NHS few days ago for he’s hip replacement, the doctor declined and say we will give you a new x ray, note that we’ve already declined and nowhere on the quote says X ray fee and we signed everything, on the paper we signed it only says you have to pay everything, but however the quote is already confirmed and a quote can not be changed. Now it’s difficult for them to sent bailiff without proof of my dad actually escaping payments, they then threaten my father with bailiffs , and they’ve came once but my dad told him to p off because he have no legal knowledge, he thinks he’s job is just to collect peoples money. Now they handover the case to another debt collecting company’, sending all sorts of letters to my dad threatening him.

@@JelMain this happened in clementine hospital, a hospital well known to save people, now turn into a international club of bandit Contractors.

Well said

Should have brought your own needle and thread

Never used to be but that's torys for you and Labour are torys in red coats. Throwing a little extra cash forcing Dr's to give up weekends and evenings is NOT a solution. They previously said they wud look at private health are mixed with gov. It's just throwing caxh at stakeholders SDP have promised to rebuild it and understand u can't throw cash at it because the cash doesn't go where it is supposed to.

Which hospital, please?

Longer in Wales run by Labour.

​@DrRussell St helier in Carshalton, got there at 6pm and walked back home at 3:15am.

In one Cheshire-based hospital on a daily basis inpatients are injected with a Pfizer blood thinner Why? Aspirin is off-patent and cheap and does as much to prevent blood clots, it even prevents patient misery as you're not stabbed in your stomach every day

It needs to be rebuilt from scratch. We need to stop throwing money at stakeholders. SDP has promised to rebuild it to its former state... I'm not impressed with labour. They previously said they wud sell it or bring in 50 /50 private health care. U can't just throw money at tired Dr's and say work weekends and evenings 😂 it's a ridiculous thing to say.

Sorry for the loss of your mother. I agree the health service is terrible. It makes you frightened to get ill.

It's deliberate though they want it to fail and Labour says it will give a teeny bit of cash to. Make Dr's work not only their full time job but work evenings and weekends too... Ridiculous and no intention of fixing the actual problems

SDP promised to rebuild it from scratch they have a great manifesto 7

Because this isn’t failing. This is a planned destruction. Where others see incompetence, I see that these people are very clever.

@@chongxina8288You are so right I have worked in the NHS and I have seen the monies wasted while the workers are made to cope with less and less budget every year.

I know it is. But why?

Labour continues the privatisation

@@vijayafernando1 Not Labour policy, and not anything to do with the OP.

Thought Johnson was going to sort out social care.....they did nothing .

Blairs administration saw the highest satisfaction of the NHS since records began, so he was doing something right?

Social care is the issue. You can't discharge people out to the community because of the lack of beds/staff there so they stat in hospital and that causes more pressure.

Red and blue Tories.

And why do you assume this is incompetence? 😉 I think these people are much smarter than they’ll have you realise.

Er.. it was the bankers playing fast and loose that caused the 2008 banking crises.

But what does that mean? Dispensing drugs drom behind a computer wheeled station? After spending weeks in hospital these last years what's very apparent nurse don't wanna nurse & there ability to communicate to patients as sick people is non-existent

And mass immigration of 700k net last year alone who can all show up and use the NHS from day 1 doesn't help

Red and blue Tories.

You can’t print as much as you need. It causes devaluation, inflation, eventual stagflation and recession. The public suffers more and you will be here to complain again. It’s basic economics

We can’t just print as much money as we need, the basics of economics. NHS was in a much better state when they left office.

Source?

No thats not something Labour would ever say. Wes streeting said that the small percentage people who can afford to get private consultations could consider the reduction of strain on the NHS

@@biga1398 That is definitely the same thing as “Labour would privatise most of the NHS” :S edit: oops you weren’t replying to me sorry ;)

It isn't free everyone pays national insurance for it.

You do realise that Labour caused the problems of the NHS when they opened the floodgates in 1997. The Tories have just continued Labours mass immigration policy and made it so much worse. You Lefties always cry that there is not enough funding, newsflash, there will NEVER be enough funding as there too many people demanding its services. Immigration is the sole reason the NHS is failing and no amount of screaming every ist and ism under the sun will change that fact. There are simply too many people for the service to handle and thinking that Labour will fix the mess they started is absolute lunacy. They want to keep borders wide open and even let millions more people in. The Left have doomed this country!

Yeah, he's not the most popular Labour politician but he came across alright here I thought.

Before Brexit we employed many foreign care workers. Now the Tories waste money on consultants. Can you show me any evidence that immigration is the reason.

Reality works, purity was offered and failed to be elected.

Red and blue Tories.

LBC is a Tory radio station

So what, who sponsors GBeebies???????

You don’t need to worry…no difference between Labour and the Tories now…you are safe.

@@Cherrytune386 It might as well be Labour, considering how far GBeebies have helped drag the Tory party away from electability :D It's as if Labour had said "We need to make sure that we keep Novara Media and OJ happy".

Erm, Vanessa Felts, Ian Dale, Nick Ferrari… 🙄

Get non-taxpayers out.

@@desydukuk291 hi you a conservative hahhh

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. He's saying that the NHS has been badly damaged by years of under-investment. This can be proven with data (e.g. on waiting lists). It isn't being a "cry baby" to point this out. He's saying that there's a problem and he even talked here about possible ways of helping to fix it.

​@@weswheel4834Why is it underinvested? More and more money is added to the NHS budget every year so why is it underinvested compared to 30 years ago? Mass immigration has added 15 million more people in that time period who all use the NHS, 700k net last year alone. We simply cant build a new city worth of infrastructure and hospitals and Dr's and houses and schools and everything else needed for those numbers ever year. Close the borders the NHS crisis goes away as does the housing crisis.

@@quillo2747no we pay consultants extraordinarily large wages. Our capacity has been slashed not the demand

@@quillo2747and the housing crisis also has nothing to do with immigration. Renting is at an all time high because of landlords not immigrants

@@quillo2747 Talk like that gave us Brexit, which made things worse in pretty much every way. Find someone else to listen to, eh?
