'Humanitarian crisis' in NHS hospitals, warns Red Cross - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-38538637

Sounds like a Third World country. We're now depending on volunteers from the Red Cross and seriously ill people are left waiting on trollies in corridors.

This has been coming, we all know it has. Can't totally blame politicians as we voted them in and know they all lie about the NHS at election time. When anyone suggests paying more tax for the NHS we all say it's a great idea, then vote another way.

There aren't quick solutions but we could:-
- Cancel tax cuts for the rich.
- All pay more
- recruit more Drs and nurses and somehow make it up with junior Drs. They aren't the enemy and many are now leaving for other countries once trained.The plans for a 7 day NHS are laughable at the moment.
- Accept there are some minor treatments we might have to pay something towards if we can afford it.
- fine/prosecute those that are wasting A&Es time. E.g. drunks.

Still, we can always look forward to the cash bonanza for the NHS promised by Brexiters.
