Burnham-perhaps not all bad...

The UK has has bad economic productivity for years, compounded by bad spending decisions.
Money should NEVER have been spent on PAs, AAs, ACPs substituting for real qualified Doctors. Barclay started this revenge, followed by MacKey, and eventually Wes cottoned on...
Recruit, train, more Doctors; FPR £1.4bn a bargain-only £800k after taxes paid.
Hunt installed Massery into GMC-who now do DH orders
Fund GP partnerships to employ more GPs; they are already trained, now unemployed after elevan years of gruelling study, exams...
Spend limited money on Doctors, Nurses, Beds, Midwives, Cancer specialists-
NOT on whizzy apps that the elderly cannot use
NOT on fancy AI projects
NOT on Blairs AI chatbots
STOP using Comunity hubs to destroy GPs, STOP overloading and underfunding GPs
LISTEN to the real Doctors-the BMA, consult, cooperate and design improvements
Stymied by Starmers low ability, Reeves low ability, NHI rises as opposed to tax rate rises, esp for the very rich
Trumps Iran proxy war for Israel-componded by incriminating files on Trump, Starmer,

PAs
working in the NHS-never registered, never qualified!
Hazard had been hearing the same thing again and again from colleagues. Midwives working through the night, going without rest, and feeling unable to deliver the safe care they trained to provide.
Midwives in the NHS: too few, overworked...So Leah - herself an NHS midwife and mother - decided she wanted to do something to change that.
Her petition on Change.org calls for role-specific legal limits on the number
of hours midwives can work in a single shift — to protect midwives, those
giving birth, and their babies.
Advice & Guidance
Introduced 2015, now compulsory, single point to refer, reviewed by algorithm,
or a noctor, not necessarily a Consultant
if rejected-back to GP
Target 25% of referrals rejected-back Who is liable? Extra work for
GPs? Extra work for Consultants?
Responses slow
Consultants one third of posts vacant
Shortage of GPs
4200-6700 more required
qualified GPs ready to work-no funding
Qualified Doctors unable to find speciality
training posts
Shortage of speciality training-revenge by MacKey and Streeting
no succession planning
"THE UK IS BROKE, CANNOT AFFORD
A PROPER NHS"
says a LABOUR GOVERNMENT...
Low productivity in UK, NHI tax rises unwise, better basic rate rise, more
for the rich...
Everybody work harder, more tax, less stupid spending
Chagos, Di Do's T&T 37billion
Fewer people to treat, but lower tax take...
Collect all UK unpaid tax-everybody can have free Social Care, Care Homes...
Or Gov can print money (banana republic, borrowing rises, IMF reduces credit rating)
Private Health Insurance would cost twice as much!!!
