As many times as other topics one suspects.

Both as bad as each other IMO and one should be ashamed that both sides told so many porkies to the electorate and are still doing that now sadly.

And the same sentiments can also be applied to some of the Brexit side as well Mick unless you don't think so?..

Absolutely so there needs to be give and take IMO if we are ever going to get a reasonable Brexit deal that suit all in this country and not just certain groups.

Notice it says 'Let's spend'. Most of us accept that this was a suggestion, not a promise. The campaigners were cross party and therefore they were not in a position to make promises anyway.

As for the amount, we have been over and over this. It is the gross figure.

Let's give it a rest now, shall we? That's a suggestion, by the way, not a promise!

Hence why I finished my last post with neither side having the moral high ground.

It's like me saying to you let's go down the brown cow for a drink and you saying no I's prefer the black horse. No pledge anywhere there, just a simple suggestion.
Take it this was a suggestion as well?

Unfortunately if recruitment maintains the current trend it's staff that will be thinned out, not patients.

That would at least cut down on costs. They also need to become efficient, and that way they could do more with less.

There is certainly a problem with a shortage of doctors and nurses and the government has measures in place to address that.

But we need fewer managers and assorted bereaucrats, not more.

Given the NHS is utterly dependent on a migrant workforce, and they are leaving in droves since the vote, how exactly has Brexit helped ?

Do more with less? You sound a bit like a management consultant beaureaucrat that you want to get rid of. Get rid of all the pen pushers, then nurses and drs have to do the pen pushing instead of treating patients.

The govt. have certainly 'worked on this' by getting rid of bursaries for nurses making the job even less attractive, if possible. They certainly do have an agenda to run down the NHS so Brexit is helping with that at least.

Well, you are certainly doing an excellent job of peddling these Labour myths.

Have you actually noticed any difference that directly results from all those Primary Care Trusts that were abolished? Of course not, they were an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy.

I had to laugh at your reference to pen pushers! They are so last century. All modern employers employ keyboard pressers these days, and believe me, they are a lot more efficient. Next thing will be that you will be complaining about the cost of carbon paper.

If you stopped picking at issues such as bursaries and concentrated on the number of doctors and nurses being trained now compared with when your beloved Labour party was in power, you would start to see the bigger picture.

The bigger (and actual) picture OB is long waiting times increasing 557% in A & E.

If anybody thinks Brexit is the answer to the NHS's problems they are very mistaken, it just adds to them greatly.

Well, it should cut down immigration, which is a principal reason why waiting times have increased.

The other one is that the baby boomers are getting old.

Nothing to do with the management of the NHS.

Who are you going to blame OB? when many are already going back to their own countries and more will follow as you cannot blame them anymore for this countries increasing ills.

No-one can help Mr K. Bless him, he is still happily sourcing the crappy remoaner gutter rag, theguardian, that he thinks people like you or I are going to be hoodwinked and read the BS that's printed in it.
