I like everything in there. The only things I would add/ change are
Student nurse - should pay zero uni fees. Today they pay full fees AND they are working several days a week within the NHS within weeks of starting uni- for no pay- how can that be fair?
Re your points on “socially” gained issues. I totally agree. You can fix the health service in one stroke- don’t treat overweight people who could avoid being overweight. So the real focus should be- how do stop people being overweight, This is far more important than anything else- but no one has got the bottle to say it in these terms, yet all of the data proves it-
you only have to look at the NHS budget for diabetes, and the split between what could be cured with diet and exercise.
The focus is in the wrong place at present.
people won’t change as they feel entitled to it and it’s “free” in their eyes
Ok why stop there
Smokers who have cancer .shall we let them die, how about people who get involved in needless fights,should we stop patching them up and wasting hours in treatment rooms
How about drunks who waste hours in AE because they cannot say no to one last drink
Diabetes who still drink and eat sweet, when told not too, druggies who overdose lets let them die outside
Bring back the old style Matrons to run wards and the budgets, let nurses do there jobs and cut out the petty bureaucracy, we need to build more hospitals or re vamp old closed ones, this will take the strain off the doctors in what few hospitals that are left
We now have Basildon, once upon a time Orsett was fully operational and then we had Billericay to assist with overflow/emergencies
