Update 12 August, 2020
T May had to resign and Boris Johnson was chosen. He seems to be even worse. He refused to buy sufficient, and in February, PPE and Ventilators which cost 60,000 lives. It includes 20,000 in Care Homes because Johnson decided to sent CV19 patients there to clear NHS's beds; without testing again whether they are free.
During Johnson's time the NHS gone worse despite always 'pledging' funds for NHS because he is planning to sell NHS to Trump. USA has one of the worst Health Care since it is mainly run by private Insurance and that Johnson wants to introduce to UK to give his friends a boost.
PM May speech of "Equal Society" became a joke when she denied there is such a great NHS crisis even after the Red Cross had to get involved to help out.
Stop pulling
wool over our eyes telling the NHS is in deficit because of the ageing population
or the health tourists or any other excuses.
It is in
deficit since the Tory Government continuously pulling big sums of money out of
the NHS. David Cameron had been doing it for years for various flagship which
never resulted into any improvement but bound not to have put the money back
again.
In 2012 Tory/LibDem
Coalition had axed 5,000 nurses and doctors. He hired private consultants, his
friends, to deal with it and paid them
over £5million. It had a huge impact on the service. Then they had the bright
idea to plug the hole with agency staff which costs three times as much.
Somebody in the background must have made a huge amount of money at the cost of
the NHS.
Furthermore,
they sold over 200 contracts which had a
further massive impact on the NHS.
Now again
Richard Branson, one of the blue-eyed boys of the Tories, bought another 200
contracts. Richard Branson has a legendary name for his badly and costly run
train service but he was given another 200 NHS contracts. It is doubtful that
he and the other contractors will give the same quality service as the NHS staff.
Contractors are after most profit and therefore run it on a minimum staff, low
qualifications and therefore lower paid. It is an open secret.
Another fine
example what swindles are going on to bring the NHS to it breaking point is the
salaries of chief executives. There are over 50 chief executives who earn over
£500,000 per year plus benefits. Are the top surgeons earning that much? These
people studied for years and highly qualified not like some jumped-up chief
executive. The did not even give the nurses a 1 per cent pay rise.
A recent
scandal was leaked that Katherine Percy, Chief Executive, was sacked and given
a £190,000 golden handshake despite of her walking into another job as a
special advisory in the NHS earning a £240,000 plus benefit package. How many
other cases like that which the public did not hear about, but bound to bring
the NHS into a financial crisis?
These are
the real reasons which are bringing the NHS down.
David
Cameron promised, in his last General Election campaign, to fund the NHS with
£8billion a year. If he kept his word the NHS would not be in a financial crisis
but as usual David Cameron never keeps his word. He also sold the NHS for £780million.
Has the money gone into the NHS? I personally doubt it and so do many others.
Tories are
determined to break the NHS and it is a miracle it has not happened yet with
the pressure put on it. It is only due to the dedicated staff that it survived
so far.
As the
recently released paper showed Margaret Thatcher already planned to demolish
the NHS and the Welfare state purely for the reason because it was established
by Labour. Apparently, the Cabinet, who were all her most faithful, went into revolt.
She shelved it but never forgot it. She must have left it for Cameron as her
last will and legacy.
It also
shows how the morals and principals in the Tory’s Cabinet have deteriorated.
Today, none of the bats an eyelid seeing the NHS constantly and insistently being
broken up, bit by bit, to achieve the final death of the NHS.
The real
reason behind is to feather the nest of private insurers which then feather the
nest of shareholders, guess who.
The result
is that ordinary people will struggle to pay the high fees, and it will be when
they got the monopoly, like in America and most go without it living in
constant fear of illness and death.
Today, working
people paying high amounts of National Insurance fees and the question remains
where does the money go? There is the
NHS in deficit and the pension pot is empty. It is apparent, from the few
samples mentioned above, that the money is squandered to serve the purpose to
break up the NHS and the Welfare State.
It is so obvious
because in the last budget the NHS and Welfare was never mentioned.
