Whether it was Obama in 2010 or 2015 or trump in 2017, Labour have always believed only they are allowed to mention the nhs and have always said a vote for the tories is a vote to sell the nhs, and yet, bugger all and they hardly mention it outside of a general election unless brexit is mentioned.
there is a snhs yes, it's in the express so ignore the words but the video/radio discussion is worth listening too Nick Robinson interviews Ian Blackford on the Scottish nhs https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1...C-Nick-Robinson-SNP-Blackford-Sturgeon-latest
Ian said the scottish nhs was superior to the rest of the uk but Nick said you met 2 out of your own 8 targets and failed to reach your own targets on the rest including inpatient target never met, outpatient target never met, cancer treatment never met, 18 week referal never met, child mental health never met is the rough jist
yip. did they say by how much they missed targets by? did they miss out the bit about waiting times being recored differently up here? the clock starts when you walk though the door. in england it starts once you see a doctor for inital assesment. did they come to the concusion that yours must be realy realy pish if ours is just yer bog standard pish? no mention of the problems at the new hospitals?
As usual fin, I don't include just the article but the link also so people can make up their own mind, it's there for you to read Blackford funnily enough, agreed they had failed to meet their own standards
yip noob. as usual, i refrence the part the express and others leave out. waiting times missed in some cases by just 0. somthing % waiting times assessed diferently.
Tory minister admits drugs price hike https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...n-trump-us-drugs-price-increase-a9230661.html options 1) NHS drugs drugs bill goes up 2) patients are given inferior and less effective drugs Who is happy about this and which of the two options is your preference?
Over 75% of drugs dispensed in the UK for the NHS are generic. Generics are hugely cheaper in the US and Canada. The NHS can choose to take advantage of cheaper generics not available in the UK, post Brexit. The NHS will also continue to use best practise in buying patented solutions globally. The US also accounts for over 45% of global pharma production. Regardless, no one will force the NHS to change buying best practise. Remind us, who saddled the NHS with crippling long term debt with PFI?
torys and labour. and guess where the highest proportion of PFI/PPP contracts are. while labour and liberals where sending back 1.5 bill of underspend. anyways.
Labour committed over 90% of NHS PFI. They borrowed over £12bn on terms that see repayments of over 80bn. So we're all paying now for their incredible financial acumen. Imagine what our kids and grandkids will pay for Jezza and Johnny's biillion upon billions pound borrowing extravaganza. Dianne is in charge of the sums.
