NHS performance review ordered as waiting lists in England rise

Of all the challenges facing the government perhaps the NHS is the most urgent for the public. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
The health secretary Wes Streeting has announced a review into its performance - as he declared that the health service had been left 'broken' and 'hard truths' needed to be uncovered.
New figures from NHS England show that waiting lists for hospital treatment rose again in May for the second month in a row.

Reclaim all the land that is privately owned that charges the hospitals rent. The hospital i work at currently is paying up to £9000 to have a plug socket fitted, it pays £400 for plastic wheely bins, and £250,000 to have a wall knocked down. I dont care how it is done but privately rent out hospital land is crippling our budget.

[@Notmehimorthem]

As a mental health nurse it's obvious to me. We have far too much micro management. I am managed by an algorithm which ensures that I fill on a Tsunami of forms but guarantees no actual real patient care. When I started in an Asylum there were eight managers for 2000 patients. Every patient got three meals a day. free laundry, dental care, occupational therapy, art department orchard and famr work, metal work, woodwork, social activities including sports days, concerts and a full time social club. Every ward had weekly ward rounds and life was full. When I left the asylum there was 150 patients and 30 managers. I then went into the community and this services descended into an utter farce in Herts. I could not deliver even my lowest standards that my conscience could support. I had to leave the service was terrible and under cuts beyond the bone.

I agree with this current Government's model for our healthcare. We need to change our healthcare culture. As a society, we need to be able to go to our local GP's for whatever ails us, and then be able to trust the local healthcare community to get better. That isn't to say that hospitals/A&E should be defunct, but rather as a last resort for us. To get to that however, we will need more funding in community healthcare, we need far more GP's than what we currently have and we will need to redo our entire model of healthcare.

[@AM-bj7yo]

GPs are unable to find work and many are reapplying to different specialties, because additional funding in primary care is specifically allocated for surgeries to hire non doctors like Physician Associates (2 year degree), paramedic practitioners, nurse practitioners, and so on, instead of doctors. Middle grade job adverts for doctors now receive 200-300 applicants, somehow we’re starving for more doctors, but doctors are struggling to find work, and entering specialty training in order to progress and not remain stagnant as a doctor is increasingly becoming a dream.

[@wilsonmanch6773]

One of the many reasons why people go to hospital is because GPs are dysfunctional. So go A&E is faster and getting the correct treatment. GPs is the one should be defunc and put all resources into hospitals. It will be easier to manage GPs too. And retrain GPs to be able to work in A&E and do night calls too. That is the fastest way to increase workforce. GPs are slow in treatment and refer patients to hospital anyway due to limited knowledge by their 3years training. Scrap this outdated system. Centralize all nhs workforce.

[@giakolou2876]

@@wilsonmanch6773 This, too many lazy part time gp's who misdiagnose and dismiss, giving you ibuprofeen or dismiss you as hypochndriac or stressed, without even bothering to do the basic investigations, then after years your condition becomes chronic and difficult to treat and impossible to cure. GPs don't care untill you're literally limping and falling apart. Many of them dismiss even blood test markers with clinical comments. And there's very little you can do, where do you even complain ? You can't vote with your wallet, they just allocate gps on first come basis. You can't even review them either. In france you can at least choose to which doctor you go and read reviews etc, then you get refunded by the goverment. At least that weeds out the bad doctors.

Went to an NHS hospital today for an endoscopy (referred by my doctor, they called yesterday, procedure done and dusted today). I was amazed by how calm, positive, supportive, and efficient all the staff were and how much of a privilege it was to be able to get a complex procedure down so quickly and smoothly, without being given a bill for thousands of pounds. The NHS is brilliant and politicians, the media, and armchair commentators love to make it into a political football to whinge about. We just need to make sure it is fully funded and not straightjacketed by valueless inspectorates and performance reviews. It is one of our most universally valuable national services.

What they should do is make it law that every payslip shows what the premium would cost for the same level of private healthcare based on the US system. People don't appreciate what they get for their National insurance compared to what they'd get and paid for private insurance. If the choice was to pay more for your national insurance or pay the full amount for your private insurance there would be no contest. People would be begging to pay more NI to avoid having to join an American style of insured healthcare. It's no surprise that the Tories wanted to scrap NI. They don't want people to know how cheap their NI is in comparison.

By 2022 there were further warnings that there were fewer dental practitioners in the NHS then there has been in 2012. All under the watch of a Conservative government.

You are against using private healthcare capacity to treat dying people because of an ideological conviction. We need to focus on improving outcomes, not obsessing over the structure of the inputs.

Maybe they should start introducing corperal punishment to the medical staff and thier managers, to ensure that they give patients good enough care. The cane, detension, being forced to do 50 press-ups, and being made to run around an obsticle course etc. When the medical staff feel that thier lives are on the line due to the health issues because of us pushing them, they might finally get an idea of what it is like when our health issues are ignored and miss-diagnosed constantly. They would have a new found respect for the patients and thier needs. And I speaking from 22 years of a heart problem that wasn't treated that was extremely severe as expierence, and no help was ever given to me.

NHS is not understaffed if there is no discrimination among Internationally educated nurses. We did not study nursing for 4years in our country and we did not work as registered nurses for more than 10yrs in other countries just to be discriminated and bullied in this country! Culture should be changed! There are lots of us experienced who can improve the system!

You are wasting a fortune on agency workers on as much as £80 an hour, its a joke!!! Open cottage hospitals, get rid of executives on a fortune when you could employ 4 or 5 hard working band 2s! Stop buying from contractors who charge a fortune! We were quoted £8000 to put up few shelves that would have cost £500 to a local contractor its a joke...

[@jablot5054]

Just like the MOD,£40k to do a £5k job. Or in house £3k. Times this by every job then you get an idea of how much is wasted. Tax could be 15 % . This doesn't happen in the private sector health, every penny counts and is accounted for

Cut NHS waiting times

[@oceansunset6147]

In 2017 I had a stroke, the paramedics took me to the hospital. They put me on a basic trolly and left me there alone. When I saw the doctor I could barely speak so he discharged me because I wasnt responding to his questions.

[@markb1487]

163 billion pounds the NHS budget in 2023..Yet the waiting times have increased nearly 25%..This would never happen in private hospitals.

[@kanedNunable]

thats cos 60bn went on bullshit like track and trace. the NHS didnt get close to 163bn. so you want more privatisation? you realise the yanks pay 10x more per person than we do for healthcare?

It's not how much you spend, it's how you spend it. The Tories for 14 years have not bothered to run the NHS they just gave more and more money to outside management companies and this is now the state we're in. It should be a law that the NHS has to be run by the NHS, not outsiders.
