I see that Thatcher's legacy continues to shower beneficence onto the general population...

This will all stop when those bus loads of Brexit money turn up though.
That's what they promised, didn't they?

t80ms.uk•38 days ago

I think the bus went over a cliff a long time ago

I think you could be right.....

14 years of the tories underfunding can do that to an organisation

Repaying £billions in Labour's
PFi, & here were are again with PFI on steroids, meaning even less of the NHS budget being spent on patient care

auld-boy.bsky.social•37 days ago

When the contracts for the first pfi deals were released in was it the late 90s, people were shocked how bad they were for the taxpayer I'm not sure why this surprises us every time

NHS in crisis so why don't we build Nightingale hospitals to clear the bed blockers and staff them with service people and retired NHS staff. We don't need ventilators etc. or doctors and trained nurses. The current situation is beyond belief and throwing money doesn't work We need action NOW

fatboy-biker.bsky.social•38 days ago

The Nightingale hospitals were just Tory gaslighting.

vennwood.bsky.social•38 days ago

Agreed but the Government could turn it to advantage by building on the concept. Instead of equipping them with all the kit etc. build them smaller with basics and beds and run by small team so that bed blocking can be reduced and reducing A&E beds in corridors

fatboy-biker.bsky.social•38 days ago

Problem of staffing remains.

vennwood.bsky.social•37 days ago

Use of retirees and volunteers as little specialist skills needed as they patients are bed blocking

fatboy-biker.bsky.social•37 days ago

I hope you're joking

Tories cut NHS beds by 17000!!!!!!!

carolcarcos.bsky.social•38 days ago

It will take a few years to repair the damage to the Health system inflicted by the Torries. There is no quick fix.

'Across the UK' referring to England yet again.

Of course this wouldn’t have happened under a Tory government because one of their spokespersons would have announced 40 new hospitals, 20,000 new GPs, 500 Wards reopened and the Media would have reported that and moved on while the voters 🐑 🐑 would have believed it all

But they refuse unless made to wear a mask putting their patients and themselves at risk!!!

14 years of austerity which must not be continued.

techbroligarch.bsky.social•38 days ago

Until we start taxing the extremely wealthy and expropriating their vast property holdings, nothing will change.

elaino.bsky.social•38 days ago

Recognise Labour cannot turn things around in 6 months - my 100 yr old Mum was In A&E for 48 hours last year. Things have not improved other than the fact they are managing corridor patients a little better this year when she was In A&E for 6 hours and after that I took her home as there were no Drs

Unless there is a paradigm shift in the way this government addresses the chronic underfunding of social care, this degrading and inhumane status quo will
remain. Heartbreaking; not just for the patients and their relatives, but for the staff working under these intolerable conditions!

stopthetories.bsky.social•38 days ago

14 years of the people of this country voting in the Tories again and again and expecting different results will do that

Sickening

I'd love to see a bit more specificity in these NHS reports. Which NHS?

NHS Scotland? NHS Northern Ireland? NHS England? NHS Wales?

NHS Scotland gets dogs of abuse from the Unionist press but as far as I can see these horror stories are nearly all NHS England.

fatboy-biker.bsky.social•38 days ago

@Stvnews felt the need to run with the same story in Scotland - without mentioning the problems in England - even allowing brass-necked Sarwar to criticise the SG.

fatboy-biker.bsky.social•38 days ago

Funny they never make the distinction when it's an English problem...🤔
