O/T NHS how safe is it?

[Silly-miller]

We all saw the interview with Donald trump saying NHS will be on the table then 15 mins later him backtracking and saying no it won’t be on table.

(See piers Morgan interview for him backtracking)

Now the express is now saying if we stay in the EU it will be privatised

If your the paranoid type you must be thinking wow we are screwed

NHS is in a real sorry state. Tbh our government is unable to fund it to the amount it needs.
No matter which party is running the country there's only X amount of money available.
If the NHS was a family of 4 then they would be shopping at food banks

Only one party committed to fully funding it, the one that formed it in the first place.

True, if only they can think of a way if raising the money

Some parts are good some are rank, we need to stop pretending it’s fantastic.

Whoa whoa whoa are you telling me there’s a party out there that’s committed to something other than power? 😮

The NHS is absolutely Marvellous, but it cannot stand the current influx of patients from inside the EU who travel or come here to live an get free treatment. Anyone who is a British national shoukd pay for these services until they have at least 5 years of paying into the system. Never mind what the eu says. Would any British citizens get free treatment abroad? No you even have to buy your own prescriptions.

Although the NHS could benefit from increased funding the amount of wastage should also be reviewed and acted upon to make it more efficient.
Just throwing ever greater sums of money at it week after week isnt the solution. More funding will just undoubtedly increase wastage.
My experience of the inefficiencies in the Nhs when my family was ill was astounding.
Computerised patient records beings prime example.
And to answer the original question thesev inefficiencies made it scarily unsafe

Obviously there's Bozzer,s £350m a week coming very soon.....well hopefully
