We are far far too good at keeping people alive, and not good enough at sending people home to look after themselves. The problem with the NHS is that the staff care too much.
ninfan - MemberOvert politicisation?
Using the NHS for partisan political reasons?Is this the same Mark Drakeford?
Have actually watched your video ninfan ?
I have, and it's the Welsh health minister speaking in support of the Welsh NHS, what the **** do you expect him to be doing ?
How does this in anyway compare with the accusation being made that the Tories are engaged in a pre-election Tory ploy to drag the reputation of the Welsh NHS through the mud for entirely partisan political purposes ?
No one is criticizing the Tory Health Secretary for speaking about the NHS, ffs, the criticism is with regards to him selectively quoting from an unpublished OED report with in the intention of rubbishing the Welsh NHS for purely party political purposes in the run up to an election.
You have a long history of clutching at straws ninfan, but you are clearly trying to hang onto one very tattered straw here.
And lo, the borefest of Ernie V Ninfan V Junky's Copy'n'paste did begin.
Nothing better to do with your lives? Perhaps you could talk about bikes or something. Go on, try it.

My previous post was the first one on this thread, and my grand total for today, including this one, is now three posts.
Did you want to make a comment concerning the Tories allegedly rubbishing the Welsh NHS Flashheart, or is the only point you want to make that you would prefer if the subject wasn't discussed ?
I have not posted on the thread till now [ i have not read it either to be clear]
Gotta speak as you find - I think the NHS is fantastic and far different from the media portrayal. But then, that's the media for you.
superstar1 - MemberThe lefty liberals say that the ageing population is draining the NHS,
me! i'm a lefty liberal, and i don't say daft things like that.
i say things like: 'giving NHS money to shareholders (tories) is a crap idea'
that's the kind of thing i would say.
The NHS already gives plenty of money to shareholders, after all it doesn't make it's own drugs, or beds, or cleaning wipes or ambulances or food etc....
Ageing populations are pushing up the cost of healthcare in the Western world, no matter how it is funded. So it needs thinking about, planning for and hard decision made. There is no easy way, but I doubt the NHS will look the same in 10-20 years down the line.
