GOVERNMENT'S CARE REFORM BEYOND BELIEF -- update 14 June, 2015



UPDATE:  14 June, 2015 --
As if that was not enough wasted money of hard-up taxpayers; David Cameron started a Better Care reform and wasted even more money -- £2billion taken out of the NHS 

Read my report "ANOTHER FLAGSHIP SCHEME OF CAMERON IN CAOS "BETTER CARE FUND."

UPDATE:  20 April, 2014  -- Looking back at another report which brings back incredible ideas and measures of the Conservative Party.  Mr Lansley wasted £7million while being a Health Secretary.  A huge amount of money for ordinary people which could have prevented quite a lot of hardship.



All these previous months the governments’ reforms or cuts were all already far beyond belief but this really goes way past it.

Health Secretary Andrew Lansley had this diabolical idea to introduce ‘PAY AS YOU DIE’ scheme. It would mean that the elderly would take out a high interest rate loans for their care home. This sum would be retrieved from their estate when they die. The very fact that it is a high interest rate loan would have doubled and trebled the amount.  The scheme is really the last thing anyone can think up.

As it is Old Age Pensioners are losing their home for which they scraped and saved all their lives to pay for care homes. They were so proud to be able to give their children something.  This new scheme is even worse because it adds high interest rates to it. How can anybody be so evil?

The winners of all these schemes are the people who lived in council houses all their lives getting paid the rent by the government. The decent folk who tried to better themselves and bought their home get it taken away or is it stealing?

This is really the last thing any one can do to an elderly person. Not to mention the conditions and scandals people hear all the time about these care homes.  How they get treated there and for an estimated amount of £100.000.

Chancellor Osborne was accused of delaying to cap it. It was revealed that he refused several times to put in the annual cost of £1.7billion.

Economist Andrew Dilnot stated that the figure would not be above £700million. He added further that this would be far less than the thousandth of public spending.

Andrews Lansley political career has definitely something to be looked at. Since he puts the National Health Service up for sale and could not care less about the welfare of the patients he now fails the elderly and tries to squeeze every penny out of them. His political record shows a careless and shameful strategy. Yet, the Prime Minister is closing his eyes and lets it roll on until everything it ruined for the people but not for the Elite..

DOCTORS SPEED-UP DEATH FOR ELDERLY




A group of doctors revealed to save cost elderly patients could be denied food and water to speed-up death.

Tens of thousand of terminal ill patients are put on the Department of Health. This includes a Liverpool Care Pathway but contrary to its title it is scheme it suppose to speed-up death.

The idea of LCP is to withhold fluid and drugs from patients in their final days. To withhold fluid is worse than withholding food.  As everybody knows to be thirsty is real torture. To withhold drugs could lead to agony when the patient has pains. Both methods are inhuman.

It is also assumed that this method could be extended merely to free beds and a group of six Care Doctors for the elderly have that suspicion.

These six doctors also say that older people are often free of pain and distress and therefore there is no need for LCP. They claim further not all doctors asking the patients and try to get consent while the patient is still capable to decide. In view of this lucking to do their job properly many patients carry a card stating that they do not want that treatment.

Dr Clifford Craig said: “If you are a cynical about it, as I am, you can see it is a cost-cutting measure, if you don’t want to have you beds filled with old people.” This warning came after Professor Patrick  Pullicino quoted a fine example when he took a 71 year old patients suffering from pneumonia off LCP and he lived for another 14 months.  He titled the scheme as “assisted death pathway rather than care pathway.”

The health department responded with that the LCP is not about saving money. They would say that under the present government trying to privatise the National Health Service. Although they deny this too and call it reform the NHS.  The Health Secretary Andrew Lansley is still denying it and at the same time he appointed Naguib Kheraj. He is a banker and was a top man at Barclays during the cheating libor (interest rates fixing when one bank loans to another). That tells you everything on both accounts.
