  1. This is complete horsehit. It’s not a labour thing or a Tory thing. It’s the incompetent ministers playing political football with the NHS and not really understanding what it’s about, because they have no background in it.

    This year there are 1000 trainees leaving medical school WITHOUT a job from august. So where are all these people going to go?

    There’s a ridiculous bottleneck as you progress through training. So what happens then?

    As a reward for getting your house in order, those with the lowest waits get to….. work more. Jee, thanks. What a reward.

  2. So totally knackered staff trying to work weekends and evenings… And throwing money at stakeholders in the NHS and not NHS itself.
    Students are coming in on scams they attend for 3 months and drop out.
    Need to STOP migration completely.
    The fees the students pay go to private university's to prosper from.
    ,need to clamp down on students dropping out and coming I

  3. Need to rebuild NHS. Can't throw money at it. Another lie to reform it back to what is was. SDP has promised to rebuild it from scratch free at point of service.
    NHS SHUD be our shrine and pride and joy. I'm not impressed by this…
    To rys in red coats… SDP has a fantastic manifesto… Google it. ❤

  4. It was purposely dismantled by the government and due to that I lost my beloved mother last month. The negligence and level of care was that you'd expect in a third world country.

  5. We all know that the NHS is on its face. However, Wes Streeting is going to make our over worked and underpaid staff work overtime and at weekends!! WOW!!😮‍💨 How out of touch are these MPs!!

  6. People already working in NHS already working overtime and not always getting paid for it. We need to train more people for sure. Nurses and midwives need free training again. We do not want private companies getting a hold of our NHS. Everything needs to be in-house. Also are the managers fit for purpose.

  7. In regard to the post war Gaza, Israel government has already said, that western governments can pay to sort out Gaza. Personally I think they would like to dispel Palestinians and build for Jewish settlers. Israel has no intention of paying towards building and sorting out Gaza for Palestinians.

  8. Always been underfunded and the prime immigration vehicle. Always wondered why Dr uni places were capped. Also the legal gravy train has been hammering nails into the NHS coffin.

  9. And always will be all the while its being run by the african mafia fake subcontractors paying procurement teams money for contracts. well organised gangs hiding behind sunday church dishing out contracts to fake palative care contractors. Lazy docotors and nurses praying for another covid so they can steal more overtime to pay for their big tvs, cars, and new fridges that they now can't afford to pay for now

  10. This is what the Conservatives wanted, they have underfunded the NHS and now it’s on its knees. They want to make everything insurance based just like in the US where thousands of people each year die because they cannot afford to pay for insurance. I am 62 and my grandfather fought hard so that me and my family had the NHS, I have worked in the NHS and seen the money they have wasted, there are far to many bosses in the NHS and not enough workers. Don’t let anyone get rid of the NHS fight for it.

  11. If only the public knew the waste within the NHS e.g. 'Quest Classic' patient standing frames, which cost £8,000 each, being scrapped after use by one patient. These could be cleaned and re-used, as could all the Rollators and Zimmer frames. A criminal waste of taxpayer's money.
