The NHS gets THREE TIMES the £350,000,000 stated on the bus extra since Brexit. However, it has to treat around 2,300,000 extra people since 2016, with another 1,000,000 expected this year alone.

When they expired I was struggling with breathing, pressure in my chest, feeling scared of having a life-ending attack but couldn’t get inhalers for months because I had to be referred to a specialist to be diagnosed for a condition I already had been diagnosed with.

For more than two years my GP surgery denied me a referral for surgery because they were unable to gather my records from previous surgeries. Even after a letter of recommendation for urgent referral from a hospital I was admitted to following an infection going septic, the surgery would not refer me. Having had a young friend die the previous year from sepsis, I was afraid and felt forced to go private, which coupled with months signed off work each year due to chronic infections, devastated me financially and destroyed my relationship with my former employer. All this over a 30 minute surgery. No such thing as free health care in the UK anymore.

Took 15 hours of surgery, and 3 screws, to repair and 2 years to heal. Other occasion I dropped a weight on my foot at the gym. Same thing. A&E sent me home.

fixing is a long way to go as long as private practice is prioritised in NHS hospitals, they need to be separated from NHS hospitals workforce and the private practice doctors have to be a separate pool of doctors rather than the NHS consultants. Many middle grade doctors are not being developed into specialists by the existing consultants, there is a shortage of specialists artificially and continuously created in the NHS system by the existing consultants. Urgent overhaul is necessary to clean up this private practice mess in the NHS hospitals to improve the patient waiting time lists.

So about 6 months to get to that stage. Luckily the growing skin patch was benign despite its alarming appearance. My husband's aunt had a huge tumour on her head and was told initially that it was a blocked hair follicle. She had to keep retuning to prove that it was growing rapidly. She also had anaemia and pains in one arm. She waited about 3 months for test results and in the meantime the tumour had put pressure on an optic nerve resulting in distorted vision. The optician fast tracked her back to hospital requesting urgent tests which turned out to be the same ones that she'd had and was waiting results. Once diagnosed it was already stage 4 and only limited treatments available but treatmen and care has been continuous. If only she'd been diagnosed earlier....

He can afford all these holidays but can't afford to go private? Yes he shouldn't have to but cancer is life or death and I wouldn't put my life in the NHS's hands!
@Ras62006 ай бұрын
I imagine having all the treatment privately(scams consultations chemo radiotherapy other medicatiom amd check ups) would cost £100k+ which is much more than a few holidays. Honestly one private tooth filling costs me about 2 days wages It was about one days 5 years ago but then doubled. Needless to say my wages did not. Just to explain why private treatment in the UK is unaffordable.

Ch4, I found your coverage biased in this video. You mention covid delays and strikes. NHS England had 4M+ waiting list in 2019. These same people would be in the same position if this were 2019. Conservative mismanagement of the NHS is the problem. I hope all these people survive with proper treatment.

I listen to the radio a fair bit, being disabled & getting older I spend a lot of time at home. The 2 stations I listen to currently are delite radio & Devon Air Gold. They have a lot of adverts unfortunately, there now seems to be to be a lot of Government advertising (an election looming maybe!) There are ones about the cost of living help, taking disabled people’s priority seats on public transport, but also one about “if you think there’s something wrong in your body, get it checked out, your GP/surgery are waiting to hear from you.”!! It would be funny if it wasn’t so awful, a downright lie & extremely misleading. Plus how much are they spending on this??😢

@sahhull6 ай бұрын
Labour actually started the privatisation of healthcare ball rolling... they dismantled general practice fundholding and some aspects of the Tory internal market. Then set up primary care groups, remade them into primary care trusts, and then merged them again into half the number.

Nobody should have to wait this long for cancer treatment. Waiting is the difference between life and death. I feel so bad for anyone whos had a bad expirence with NHS.

It doesn't have to be unaffordable. I had chemo for breast cancer privately in Australia (by choice) and all I paid was the equivalent of 100 pounds. Insurance is not cheap but the more people go private, the less pressure on the public system.
