O/T Coronavirus Thread

Corbyn would have had the same health and scientific advisors as Johnson so doubt anything would have been different.

Don't doubt it but I think the NHS would have been stronger if we had had a few years of Labour govt before.

You think they had psychic powers and would have spent it on thousands of ventilators and stockpiled them in warehouses in preparation for this very occasion?

Last time they were in power most of the extra money went on doctors' wages and new contracts for GPs which meant they no longer had to provide out of hours care, good for doctors, not good for patients.

They also saddled health authorities with millions in debts with PFI deals.

Then there was the Stafford Hospital scandal.

And the fact that the Labour-controlled NHS in Wales is run worse than the NHS in England.

So overall I'd have to disagree.
