A big problem here is that simply. The NHS MUST stop giving free aid to every tom, dick and harry.
IF, you don't have the funds and ont have an address. then you DONT GET FREE treatment.
IF, you are homeless. Then you can get treatment via charities. That might be cruel. But the Tories are being cruel to everyone in the UK. By cutting funds to GPs, local Councils etc etc.
Local Government are at fault for local GPs cuts, to Social Care and Day Care Centres. They are closing them down all the time.
What these Day Centres can provide is GP service. Which would solve an OAP that is in Hospital. They would come out of hospital, straight to a day Care centre under the direction of a GP.
It is totally wrong that Local Councils say they don't have any money. Hounslow Coucil for example must make thusand of pounds EACH week from Parking and fines.
When l go to The Blenhiem Centre on a Bank Holiday, people still put money in for a ticket.
They claim that this money goes for the upkeep of the car park. What painting lines, you can get the Unemployed to do that as part og the TRAINING.
I have been on these courses. And they are NOT worth going to.
One of the roads near The Blenhiem Centre, was FREE parking. Council decided in there wisdom to put 15 parking meters there.
ALL this money can go into GP services on the borough. I went to a GP surgery on Friday. And it was empty. And yet, every surgery on a Monday, you cannot get an appointment.
Mr Hunt has said that the 'FOUR HOUR SLOT is only for the serious ill paitents. So if you end up in Hospital with a Heart Attack, which has to be dealt with 'within the golden hour' you might not get seen, if you start to get better.
I think the whole matter with the NHS stinks. And all this to save bloody money by the Tories, so they can upkeep there Private Health Care companies.
There was a Dr on BBC this morning, she came from Syria, and said it was the worst decision by coming to the NHS. And it should be made private.
And the BBC interviewer had a go at the Consultant, saying that he 'maybe' lying hat that crisis, isn't a crisis. Typical BBC.
