Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss

Can’t even say Tory members made wrong choice with Truss, because Rishi, would have been just as bad, imo.

Nah, we need a General Election, Truss has already broke promises, she doesn’t have a mandate to run country.

Some Folk know on here, I work in the healthcare industry, the NHS, is at crippling point, nobody should have to wait over half a day, when they have had a serious fall, but that’s what’s happening. There’s not enough beds, because the elderly patients can’t be discharged to care homes quick enough, where they should be, because the social care sector, is also in crisis, with 100,000+ staff vacancies empty, meaning care homes can’t take on new clients.

It’s a combination of other factors too, the backlog of people waiting for treatment is colossal, people who can’t see a GP, probably because they don’t have one, phone 111, get sent to A & E for the slightest of health problems.

So to summarise, under 12 years of Tory rule, NHS, is in bits, I’m not saying when you get treatment, it’s really bad, just the wait times are utterly dreadful, it’s a disaster.
Not often l agree with you politically Mick but you have hit the nail on the head with much of what you say.
