Starmer and Streeting think that "Online" or "Digital," "AI" will solve the grim shortage of Junior Doctors, GPs, Nurses, Beds
The only solution is more: with GPs and JDs having training pathways opened, positions funded...
and no expansion of PAs, AAs, ACPs to fool patients into believing the NHS is well staffed
All Trust hospitals prohibit frontline staff speaking openly about
problems
-They are businesses, desperate to,protect their image, and income
Whistleblowers are crucified, careers ended, despite sanctimonious politicianss
urging transparency.
RAAC In hospitals is still a major problem…If you build cheap,
they will fall down…
The UK economy is dire- productivity is low. We need a year long period of hard work, better productivity… much less public spending,
Tax increases NHI to NHS, GP practices, dental practices, hospices cause staff layoffs…. and are bluddy stupid!
Cutting taxes for the wealthy is stupid-many rich would like to contribute a bit more to the NHS...
The exception should be the NHS and Social Care homes, Hospices-publicly owned, run by NHS staff on NHS rates, with proper career progression
and FPR to frontline NHS staff, especially nurses-who work less enthusiastically because decried, in poverty, and unable to pay bills…
with funding increases to GP practices, more training places and more positions for real Doctors-not superfluous PAs, AAs-DANGEROUS...
with a proper recruitment and retention scheme, a properly designed
and funded workforce plan-totally absent from-“ anybody-can-be-a-doctor”-
Streeting
Evil privatisation
From Redwood and Letwin, McKinsey worshippers ( “privatise the
world”), governments Thatcher onwards have privatised everything
thinking competition will lower prices and make the rich richer, and
give me directorships and cash rewards… (many politicians take thousands
in gifts, bribes…
not necessarily in that order)
As a result, electricity prices are the highest in Europe, gas, water,
The NHS now pays private profiteers billions- from taxpayers-whereas the real NHS could retain staff and better services for patients.
Care in the Comunity...
The NHS uses texts and mobile phone calls...
Iphone cannot receive calls or texts
AskMyGP was quite a useable GP triage system…
ACCURX is a bit more clunky, does not remeber you, requires
repeat info input, but still allows
the practice to limit appointnents…
Streeting’s imposed system leads to fewer appointments, overworked
GPs leaving, and
urgent cases being ignored!!!
Prime NHS and SC concerns
Tax strategy-tax GPs...!!!
EVERY budget gives tax breaks to the very wealthy. Manifestoes (never carried out, mere hopes & promises!)
need to be broken in emergencies:
raise basic tax for everybody, no special cut rates and breaks for the rich. Tax income above £20 million, and assets above £20 million...
Treasury need to lower spending-the cost of servicing debt paralyses investment in FPR and infrastructure.
A 10% reduction in all benefits, spending, and a 10% increase in NHS and SC spending, with Doctors, Nurses, Midwives
Radiographers at the head of the queue-a very special case...
Private equity and PFI
a scam trick cosing the NHS millions-should be banned.
Doctor substitution:
Government are using ACPs the same way as PAs, AAs: to dilute real doctors and
fool the public into "accepting"
non medically qualified "Noctors"
Some are even called "Consultants"-only a real qualified Doctor should be called "Consultant"
Infrastructure: crumblling hospitals, Kings Lynn held up by hundreds of Acrow props
Build ONE new hospital on new land!!!
Book online scam gimmick: we need more GPs, not false gimmicks to fool patients and overload GPs .
Turn off booking requests when full!
Reliance on Blair's chatbots: USELESS!
Ban Palentir from NHS!!!
Apps and AI will not cure the NHS problems: basic IT systems need integration, to talk to each other without
repeated duplication of details input.
NHS lay managers: Griffiths insisted lay managers at every level: pre 1967 managers were
experienced floor Doctors and Nurses,
now Marketisers who obey government demands to keep their jobs...
Rising dangers in childbirth:
Midwives are not being recruited on qualifying, Readmissions rising
Home birth more risky
understaffing, poor monitoring
£60 billion in payouts
Ockenden inquiries all over the country...
Danger of Streeting
Receives bribes from private health companies
Promised "privatisation on steroids"
The NHS loses billions in money spent with private corporations
Ten year health plan useless: no Manpower plan, no FPR, virtual hospital beds useless
no infrastructure investment...
Frontline staff underpaid, overloaded, dismayed, poor, depressed, leaving...
RIP NHS dentistry
When Tony Blair entered number 10, many dentists suggested removing NHS crowns, bridges, chrome dentures,
veneers from the NHS menu-but Blair wanted to continue "full comprehensive" lie...
NHS dentists were not allowed to decry NHS dentistry-preserving the obvious disadvantges in quality
We wer not allowed (theorectically) to say "I can
do a crappy passable crown under the NHS, but a top highend crown privately..."
Now computer milled crowns cost £900...
Treasury refused to reimburse expenses INDIVIDUALLY, but on an averaged basis: those who spent on new top end equipment,
high quality laboratories, good staff and premises lost out to underinvesting dentists.
