Fix how we're governed
Voting systems, House of Lords, devolution, MP accountability. What's actually broken?
Stop the NHS waste: Let's pay tradespeople properly for repairs, not consultants!
We need a new approach to NHS property maintenance. Instead of constantly bringing in expensive external consultants to oversee minor repairs, the NHS should directly employ a core team of skilled tradespeople – plumbers, electricians, carp
Fund the NHS Properly for Once
I'm proposing that the government increases NHS funding by at least 10% annually for the next 5 years to tackle the chronic understaffing and underfunding that's crippling our healthcare system. This is desperately needed because we're at a
Fix the NHS waiting lists debacle
Are we really saying it's acceptable that people have to wait months for routine operations, only to be told they might have to go private if they want to get it done quickly. It's madness, and it's not what we pay our taxes for. I think
Cut Red Tape, Not Care: Smarter NHS Funding
I get the frustration with NHS waiting lists, believe me. I see it with my own customers too – people worried about their parents’ health or their own. But comparing it to Roman times or suggesting private enterprise is the only answer just
Scrap the NHS Bureaucracy
I was at the hospital last week visiting my mate who's been waiting for a knee replacement for months, and what struck me was the number of staff wandering around doing nothing, while the doctors and nurses are run off their feet. My mate's
Scrap the NHS Bureaucracy
I'm fed up with the state of our healthcare system, it's a joke, my wife's been waiting for a hip replacement for months and they still can't give her a date, it's like they're just not bothered. The NHS is being held back by all the pen pu
Let's Get Rid of the Waiting Lists, Not the NHS
I get the frustration with waiting lists; my wife, who's a GP, sees it daily. The idea of trimming bureaucracy to get more resources to the frontline is sound. But comparing the NHS to Roman private enterprise isn't the answer. We need a mo
Let's Fund the NHS Properly, But Wisely.
The call for increased NHS funding is absolutely right. We cannot ignore the pressure our healthcare system is under, or the dedicated staff who are quite frankly, at breaking point. But simply announcing a blanket percentage increase, whil
Stop Wasting My Taxes on Bureaucracy, Fund Actual Doctors
I'm sick to death of hearing about NHS waiting lists and understaffing, yet when you actually look into it, so much of the money is disappearing into some middle-management black hole. It’s infuriating. Brenda’s had to wait six months for a
Scrap the NHS and go private
I think we should ditch the NHS and move to a private healthcare system, it's the only way to get some real efficiency and choice into our healthcare. The current system is bloated and slow, with too much money being wasted on bureaucracy a
Over-75s shouldnt have to sit in A&E for 9 hours because they cant get a GP appointment
My neighbour Frank is 81. Last month he had chest pains at 8am. He rang his GP at 8:00 on the dot, 8:01, 8:02, 8:03. By 8:20 he got through and was told there were no appointments left. The receptionist, who was very sorry, suggested he go
Fix the NHS Waiting Lists Already
I was talking to my sister the other day and she was telling me about her friend who's been waiting for a hip replacement for over a year now. She's in constant pain and can barely walk, but the hospital keeps pushing back her surgery date.
Scrap the NHS postcode lottery now
I'm sick of hearing about people in other parts of the country getting better healthcare than we do in Brighton just because of where they live. It's not right that some kids get access to specialist care that ours can't, all because of som
Right to die with dignity act
The issue of assisted dying is a complex and emotive one, and it's clear that the current system is not working for those who are terminally ill and wish to end their suffering. It's a matter of basic human rights and compassion, and we nee
Ban private ambulance services from responding to 999 calls
Did you know that when you dial 999 in parts of England, the ambulance that arrives is not an NHS ambulance. Its a private contractor. Paid by the NHS. Often with less qualified staff. Operating on a contract that pays them more if they hit
This assisted dying bill is a distraction from real needs
Saw Mrs. Price down the village last week. She’s 89, sharp as a tack but frail. Her husband’s been gone ten years, and she told me she’s just lonely. Her GP visits once a month, a nurse calls in twice a week. It’s not enough. She needs more
Fund local community pharmacies to provide basic health checks and minor ailment services.
Our local chemists are often the first port of call for people with minor issues, but they're increasingly squeezed. They can't afford to stock everything, and many people end up clogging up GP appointments for things the pharmacist could e
Drug policy should be based on evidence of harm, not moral panic
Portugal decriminalised personal use of all drugs in 2001. In the 25 years since, drug-related deaths have fallen dramatically, HIV infections among drug users have collapsed, and overall drug use has not increased. This is not disputed. It
Stop messing with patient records, just fund the GPs instead.
We need to mandate that all GP practices have a robust, fully integrated electronic patient record system that talks seamlessly to secondary care. This isn't about abstract data concerns; it's about making sure the right information is wher
Every child should be able to get an NHS dentist
My daughter hasnt seen an NHS dentist in two years. We rang every practice within 20 miles. All full. We ended up going private at 80 quid a checkup. Not everyone can do that. NHS dentistry is in collapse. Dentists are leaving because the
