  • The mounting pressures on the NHS have become an "unprecedented challenge", Downing Street has admitted - pinning much of the blame on the pandemic.
    But health experts say the Covid crisis simply made a bad situation worse - from staff shortages to the surge in demand for ambulances and beds.
    They're urging the Government to take immediate action - warning the situation across the NHS has become unsustainable.

    One reason the NHS is full of people with flu is because people also can't afford to heat their homes. It's difficult to recover from any illness if you're sleeping in a cold damp bedroom.

      I think it has alot to do with British lifestyle also, we have a bar and fast food restaurant on every door step, we have far to much technology and social media, people just ain't as productive anymore, I mean even when you look at the deaths the majority have underlying health issues, alot of people are just inactive, bad diets and have the mindset of NHS will fix it, people should start relying on nature more and getting a diet that's not just vitamins and minerals but also anti inflammatory, anti oxidant, and anti bacteria, things like turmeric, fatty fish, manuka honey, garlic, spinach etc there is so many options, but they need to put down the pints and McDonald's and stop blaming the NHS for their own mistakes, not everyone though I'm sure many people really need the help but problem is they can't get it if others are just taking advantage and adding the pressure to the health care.

Failure to help Ukraine will come back to bite us very badly if Britain and the West do not do everything practically possible to stop Putin. Remember, failure to stop Hitler led to World War 2 with the loss of millions of lives. There never ever has been a period when Britain or any other country has had no problems, at home - many people then said that stopping Hitler was less important than dealing with those home problems. As history has shown, stopping Hitler WAS more important. The same may be said for Putin.

And those of us who don’t carry any favour with the tories actually vote for them mostly because we want border security (not from Scotland or Wales, but from farthest Europe and ex-colonies). Although we’ll pretend we voted for them due to economic reasons. From an ex-southern, ‘northern’ English person, we wish Scotland all the best and prosperity.

      @@blackbeard6423 In fact I have tried over the years. Late 2000s in an attempt to save and keep our local hospital (protests, leaflets, sigs ect ect). While the hospital is still there it's been gutted and can't even do x-rays anymore. It has so much empty space it's a tragedy. I also did the same for our local mental health department that, again, has been gutted and is no longer fit for service and the experienced staff have left. The mental health ward itself closed down about 4 years ago with people who need to be admitted (sectioned) having to travel 100+ miles for treatment. I no longer volunteer my time as we effectively lost. With things changing and more people seeing what's happening and demanding better I might give it another shot if an opportunity presents itself again.
      To gain more doctors and nurses I would say bring back the bursary and pay them properly. That alone would help retain and attract new people into the profession while improving treatment and treatment times along with patient and employee satisfaction. After that I would review the whole system as their are obvious problems that need addressing inside and outside of the NHS in the care system. I'm guessing the higher up's are aware of changes that can be made but have their hands tied. I can't give any more detailed solutions as I don't have access to the relevant information needed to do so.

    But this started with Tony Blair and his PFI programs where his private sector buddies were lending money to the NHS hospitals to upgrade and extend their buildings. However they were charging much more than high street banks. They were insisting on being awarded other contracts at inflated rates like catering, security, maintenance, laundry etc. I remember the farce of it costing 60 pounds to change a light bulb. So much money was stripped out of patient care to fund these massive mortgages at inflated rates plus the associated inflated contracts. It’s not been 25 years yet. So when labour get confused as to how given the same levels of funding as many other western countries it fails to deliver in a similar way. Hello, look at the structural debt. The hidden national debt as it is underwritten by the taxpayer. The hidden debt that would make the nations debt to gdp ratio look very bad that no one talks about it. So bad that it might impact the countries credit rating.
    They reduced the numbers of beds massively, at the time they talked about not needing the beds as post op care had improved. Since then the population has gotten older and sicker and gone up by 6 million in the last 12 years. Also the real reason the beds had to be cut was they could afford to keep them open and pay the PFI partners their cut.
