    I’ve supported the NHS all my working life, paying my taxes.

    I even worked for them for a year (at probably 33% of my normal wages), and eventually gave up as it was impossible to do a professional job in that ‘culture’ – from the Politicians downwards…

    I have already been taxed.

    The whole NHS needs rethinking not just incremental changes coz that will never work.

    The horse is dead.

    😯

    edit: I like it to be free but at some point it will break …

    I thought I supported it every month out of my wages? However I will click the link and read.

    I’ve worked for them for 25 years and do a professional job every day. It has some issues and yes some of them are cultural but privatisation of the NHS will make it worse for everyone but those wanting to make millions.

    People and companies already make millions out of the NHS, everything you buy is from the private sector

    I.E. The ambulance you drive.

    And bank nurses and locums at vast cost due to sickness and mgt/HR ineptitude

    cant see them, but confident they are there!

    Anti TTIP unions hijacking emotive subject to put the kibbosh on a freetrade move that would undercut UK labour costs. What a surprise.

    The NHS is doomed and will need to be completly restructured. It’s the political elephant in the room that no one will touch due to political suicide. A new system is required and quickley.

    Ahh, so “The People’s NHS” is part of the attempt to “weaponize the NHS”.

    Grantaway – are you a member of Unison ? Did you know, but not state to us, that The People’s NHS is a sockpuppet for Unison ?

    “members…rights to do a decent job”

    You really believe no one will touch it, when it’s the pretty much the last public service left with american lobbyists demanding their slice of the pie.

    If you are in hospital..
    Your cleaning is privately supplied
    Your food is privately supplied
    Your bed is privately supplied
    Your porters are privately supplied
    The maintenance of the diagnostic equipment is privately supplied
    Your physio and outpatient care privately supplied

    Many of your nurses are also privately supplied since NHS nurses are leaving in droves, since without payrise in 3 years, they are far better paid working as locums..

    Usual tactics under-fund, under-mine, privatise !!

    i’m saying it needs to be privatised and is already stealthily part way through the process. No political leader will be bold enough to state that its fubared and propose wholesale reform though.

    Your medicines were privately supplied
    Your bandages were privately supplied
    The water used to mop the floor was privately supplied
    The disinfectant was privately supplied
    The paper towels were privately supplied
    The electricity was privately supplied

    It’s a veritable disaster!

    Some of us have no alternative but to pay for our own healthcare. Just off out for more private blood tests that have cost me nearly £250. 😐

    your issue is with NICE/testing/treatment authorisation rather than whether NHS is privatised/nationalised or indeed free at the point of delivery/private healthcare is it not CG? Not really the same argument.

    and I am saying its deliberately being fubared so it can be privatised.

    Your medicines were privately supplied … Overpriced
    Your bandages were privately supplied … Overpriced
    The water used to mop the floor was privately supplied … Overpriced
    The disinfectant was privately supplied … Overpriced
    The paper towels were privately supplied … Overpriced
    The electricity was privately supplied … Overpriced

    Either we all pay more taxes to keep the NHS running as we imagine it to be, or we look at some sort of private healthcare, or we keep it as it is and accept that we cannot afford to keep everyone alive and healthy and some sort of rationing occurs.

    None of the above appeal, frankly.

    Or we stop the Trident Missile replacement programme and bounce the money to the NHS, we fix tax loopholes or introduce Robin Hood tax.

    TTIP is another wedge driving the NHS into privatisation.
