  • Maria Caulfield, the women's health minister, has told Sky News she "absolutely" apologises to women who have been impacted by poor care, and says "maternity services have not been where we want them to be".
    She added: "Mums should be getting a better experience than they were, and often that leads to safer births and better outcomes."

      Blair introduced all the pointless management positions that have ruined the nhs not the conservatives. It’s also Labour supporters that have wasted millions on inclusion and diversity classes and managers pal.

      Yes, it's definitely not the tories allowing people to dodge taxes that pay for it and if they can't fix it in 15 years then what's the point of having them?

    And they'll leave to go private or go abroad to countries where they might be paid an internationally competitive wage first chance they get. In Australia and Canada it's almost double the wage.
    Medicine and healthcare suffers the biggest brain drain of any industry in the UK. The response of Government for the last decade, rather than to make the NHS a worthwhile employer, has been to brain drain Nigeria, India etc.

    The reason the NHS is hanging on a cliff is beacause of a gross lack of investment in the wrong areas.
    And a government who want it fully privatised.
    Privatisation started under Blair.
    The tories are now carrying that mantle.

      PFI was another part, generally associated with Blair, but an idea of Ken Clarkes and introduced by Major's Government, and of course endorsed by Blair. ..........Don't get the idea I'm batting for Blair, I'm not, just like to know the TRUTH.

      Puss off! They get over £170 billion a year, more than enough to do a good job. Blame the staff for what the staff do.
      The average nurse gets £36k + a year,the average taxpayer gets £24 k a year. Do the math ingrate.

    I had to give birth by cesarean because they were short staffed. I am not weak willed, it was 24 hours of torturous hell (that I do not have the space to go into here) before I submitted and that left my body in a mess. My experience leads me to question if they (NHS) have our best interests at heart? For the record ladies If I were transported back in time I would still have my beautiful son but I would choose my hospital wisely or / and get a doolar or / and have a home birth. Motherhood is the most awsome gift.

      If they didn’t get pregnant in the first place, the costs would be zero. Everyone’s a winner.
