Work, pay and welfare
Benefits, pensions, minimum wage, the four-day week. Rewrite the social contract.
GPs should offer same-week appointments for everyone over 65
My mum is 78. Last time she rang her surgery the next appointment was in 19 days. At her age things change fast. Guarantee same-week GP appointments for everyone over 65. Not triage. Not a form. An actual doctor within 7 days.
Scrap the NHS Waiting Lists Madness
What's the point of having a national health service if you're just gonna end up waiting months for treatment, I mean it's like the system is designed to drive you mad. The thing is, it doesn't have to be this way, we could be investing m
Sick of the NHS waiting lists? Time to bring in some private sector common sense!
Honestly, the state of the NHS makes my blood boil. I’ve got mates waiting months for simple procedures, and then they’re complaining about the ‘efficiency’ of it all. It’s not rocket science. We’re pouring money into a system that’s become
Sort Out Our NHS
What's the point of having a national health service if you can't even get a doctor's appointment without waiting weeks, I mean come on. I've been saying it for years, the system's a mess and it's only getting worse. My proposal is to go ba
Seriously, why are we still relying on paper appointment letters? It's 2024!
Why are we still posting out paper appointment letters for the NHS? We know half of them get lost, arrive late, or are just ignored. It’s a ridiculous waste of time and money, and it’s actively making waiting lists worse because people miss
Scrap the NHS Bureaucracy
What's the point of having a healthcare system if you can't even get a doctor's appointment without waiting weeks, all while the administrators are getting paid more than the nurses. I mean think about it, we're pouring all this money into
Compassionate Endings, Not Just a Right
I've always belived that the issue of assisted dying is a deeply personal one, and it's definately time for a more compassionate approach. As someone who's passionate about social justice and human rights, I think we need to be looking at t
Scrap the NHS Bureaucracy
What's the point of having a national health service if it's just going to be bogged down in paperwork and red tape, I mean honestly, my sister's a nurse and she spends more time filling out forms than actually nursing, it's madness. My pro
Backing Our Local Pharmacies, Properly
I've lived in Grimsby all my life, love, and I've seen how much our local pharmacies do for the community, but they need more support, not just a bit of extra cash. We should be looking at a more comprehensive approach, one that ties fundin
Dignified Death, Not State Sanctioned
The idea of assisted dying is a complex one, but it's clear that the state has no business being involved in it. As someone who believes in personal responsibility and individual freedom, I think it's crucial that we allow people to make th
Scrap the NHS Bureaucracy Already
I was at the hospital last week visiting a friend who's been struggling with chronic pain and it was appalling to see how many administrators were wandering around while the nurses were run off their feet. My friend's been waiting months fo
Fix Mental Health Funding Already
How is it that we can pump millions into new roads and stadiums but can't seem to scrape together enough cash to properly fund our mental health services. I mean think about it, we're constantly hearing about how mental health is just as
This 'Digital First' NHS nonsense is failing our elderly
My neighbour, poor Mrs. Higgins, bless her, has been trying to get a doctor's appointment for weeks. She’s 85 and doesn’t own a smartphone. Every time she calls, she gets put through to some automated system or told to use the NHS app, whic
Enough with the GP waiting lists, let's get proper mental health support in schools
My daughter’s friend has been struggling with anxiety for months. Her parents finally got her a referral to a child psychologist, only to be told the waiting list is over a year long. A year. For a teenager who’s clearly in distress. It’s h
Enough with the 'postcode lottery' for cancer drugs, Holyrood needs to sort this.
My sister-in-law down in Ayrshire was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She was told the latest targeted therapy drug wasn't available on the NHS there, but it was for folk in Glasgow. Had to fight tooth and nail, and honestly, it fel
