Scrap the NHS waiting list nonsense
I'm proposing we overhaul the NHS waiting list system to focus on urgent care first, rather than just who's been waiting the longest. This is needed because the current system is failing people who need immediate attention, prioritizing bur
Why Are We Letting Bureaucrats Run the NHS Instead of Patients?
How did we end up with a system where patients have to beg for treatments the NHS deems "too expensive," yet we spend billions on administrative bloat and opaque procurement processes? It’s madness. We've got a national institution, meant t
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Every school should have a proper counsellor, not just a poster on a wall
A poster saying its OK not to be OK is not mental health provision. It is a poster. Every school should have a trained counsellor available at least 3 days a week. Not a teaching assistant who did a two day course. A qualified counsellor w
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.
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
Make it illegal to build housing estates without a GP surgery
New estate of 500 homes went up near us last year. Lovely houses. Absolutely no infrastructure. No GP surgery. No school places. No bus route. No pharmacy. No park. Five hundred families all trying to register at a practice that was alread
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
