NHS on its way down?

[bilal]

£800million in debt, theyve been getting dentists from Poland and Doctors from Hungary and Czeck, are these guys desperate or what, and the head of the NHS has resighned aswell, im just worried that us, our kids and Grand kids will all have private healthcare, and itll be a disaster. your views

It went to the dogs years ago. I guess the dogs have spat out the bones, and now those bones are ashes.

Riddles with bureacracy!

I have a solution. Fine everyone that misses an appointment. MILLIONS of appointments are missed every year - imagine how waiting lists would be slashed if people stuck to their appointments, or cancelled - thus giving someone lese the appointment.

Wont happen of course.

but atleast were well known for it around the world, the fact that its crap doesnt matter, but in like 5 years we will be in deep dog poo, coz well have to pay for medical services, im considering leaving this country when im 18

Nothing wrong with paying for missed appointments; plastic surgery type procedures;

Yo could put a £ billion a day in the NHS and it will be gobbled up by administartors/managers/overtime etc...

do you think that theyll start sackin english doctors and getting more from overseas?

I'm getting fed up with going to hospital and being seen by people who cant speak peoper English; are clearly only doing it for the money; cant explain what is wrong/treatment etc.

Nothing against Indian doctors - but they just arent trained to our specifications- and their accents are infuriating. Dont get me started on Pak doctors from overseas!!!!!

If thats how I feel - imagine what your average 'Joe Public' feels??

brown doctors suck! they're lazy and careless

too much beauracracy - too many managers in suits advising on what is best for patients/what treatments can be afforded rather than looking at what is best for pt.

Oxy - ur idea of fining pt's for non attendance is a great idea and been suggested before but hasnt been implemented which is beyond me really
