If the NHS is broken, are politicians not right to look at ways to mend it? It’s funny to moan about whats wrong with it and then protest against others wanting change!

I guess my reply to that is its not politicians who should be trying to fix it, its healthcare professionals who understand what needs to be fixed/changed who should be doing it. Politicians are only involved as no changes seem to be coming from the NHS itself, therefore it makes good newspaper political headlines.

Jeremy Hunt is a political opportunist....who knows less than zero about the NHS (or little else for that matter)
The changes have to come from within...
The management out to be senior medical, nursing & technical personnel not the management types we have right now.....academically qualified in most instances but totally lacking in skills, experience, overall capability & the knowledge of what hospitals are all about.
I have a college who is a very capable & qualified marine engineer (1st class steam & motor tickets) that was in charge of the services side of a group of hospitals (heating, power, electrics, structures) that was undermined to have a manager who was half his age no technical qualifications & a paltry amount of management experience be in overall charge. What an injustice as years ago the minimum qualification to get a junior role in hospital services was an HNC preferably an HND electrical.
This typifies the rotten decisions that are made that have far reaching implications & compound Oma get other situations.
Significantly the government interference is from career politicians who are in the "game" for thier own gratification.....MP, then if not retired sacked, given a knighthood & then the House of Lords.
Absolutely shameful what is being done - note by both sides of the political spectrum. BREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics

Of course, the elephant in the room here is that NHS staff - at all levels - are, these days, pretty well remunerated (some extremely well remunerated) when you take into account the gold-plated pension and benefits they have. In that context I have to admit that the posturing of the junior doctors annoys me somewhat

Yep, there are many things wrong with the NHS but over-promoted and over-paid managers who are lacking in experience and skills are the top one I'd say.

Correct
AND
IF
# The Chief Officer, Chair and Finance Director are the people who set about breaking the organization intentionally, in a way designed so that it could be relatively easily re-constructed;
# They already had a queue / line, of buyers eager and willing to purchase the organization at 'Fire Sale' prices;
# This cabal had infiltrated numerous Fifth Columnists, and Fellow Travellers into positions of power and influence within the organization, who were managing & supervising the faux breakdown;
# The Big Three, and their cohorts had a past record of perpetrating this system of asset stripping;
# Experiments in the total transfer of discrete parts of such organizations in the very recent past had proved 'much less than successful'
# Attempts by these entrepreneurs to set up their own provision had relied on the morals and techniques of cattle rustlers, free-loaders and carpet-baggers
THEN
Rather than selling off the organization at scrap value, only to find it on the forecourt two weeks later at a premium price, but only available as a rental item, and
The rental per week was 100 times the scrap value price.
MIGHT
It not be a better idea to sack the present conniving , employ some of the highly skilled professionals (enthusiasts) who actually appreciated the marque, and "DIY"?

My eldest is about to qualify as a Doctor (so I'm biased) - but I'm not 100% sure what gold plated pension and benefits she will have?
And how is it fair to have a 'contract' forced onto one party by another? - hence the movement of English doctors wanting to work in Scotland and overseas - particularly Australia?
Why is it that 36% of Doctors in the UK did not train here? - and Theresa May has the eye watering arrogance to claim they are only here temporarily whilst the NHS works to become 'self sufficient'
No wonder the staff are demoralised

A while back my son cut his arm, it was clear it needed stitched.
Into A&E it went like this
wait 10 mins to see reception
Receptionist: did you call NHS direct?
Me: No, its obvious it needs a stitch, and they can't yet do that over the phone
Receptionist gives be a talking to for not following the "rules"
20 minute wait for Triage nurse
Triage nurse: It needs a stitch, I used to be allowed to do it but now he will need to see a doctor
4 hour wait for doctor
Doctor: It needs a stitch, the triage nurse can do it
30 minute wait to see triage nurse again
triage nurse stitched it in 5 mins
So 5 hours to get a stitch put in. The NHS staff are brilliant (except the snooty receptionist) but the system lets them down all the time. I think we should go back to letting the matron run the wards

Surely that is self-evident. Just compare the final-salary pension, the sick pay, maternity pay, holiday allowance with what is commonly available in the private sector

I think many young people want to see what working abroad (in places with a better climate and other conditions) is like. My niece is a hairdresser and working in Australia. The only thing different about doctors is that the government (until the latest announcement) has never insisted on clawing back some or all of their training costs.
Quote:

Because successive governments over many years have - typical politicians - taken the cheapest short term option - ie employ Filipinos or Indians or WHY rather than training more people born here.[/quote]

NHS is bleeding money due to paying agencies and overtime to cover the shortage of staff. Staff will leave teh NHS to work for agency as they are paid a much better rate.
Pay staff a decent wage which reduces number of those leaving, appeals to more staff joining and thereby reduces agency costs..... but first you have to pay the proper rate. Dave

Adam is spot on . as stated my wife works in the pressure cooker environment we all run straight to in crisis also know as the NHS
Gold Plated pension ,
Less than 9 quid an hour for all the she takes from the public as she is the point of contact for them , not to mention physical abuse , dealing with immigrants who think they are due the world and only been in the UK 5 mins
that's my last word as this is such a sensitive issue to me , unless seen from the inside I don't think we are qualified to pass commentPhil
