I was referring to the inefficient, creaking NHS, not universal care as a concept.
When some people (the usual suspects) have nothing better to say, they call for evidence in respect of the bleedin' obvious such as:

- Try getting a doctor's appointment without overcoming obstacles
- Try getting your cancer operation performed
- Find enough qualified people to staff the Nightingale hospitals
- Try obtaining Covid LFT packs (for the time being)

No link or research is required for the bleedin' obvious.

I could suggest that PCTs aren't missed because the management of the services has just been moved around rather than a layer of management being removed completely.

Quote:
Under the new system commissioners have been stripped of responsibility for primary care and most specialist services, which go to the NHS Commissioning Board, while public health has gone to councils. This leaves CCGs with the £60bn part of the NHS budget that is most difficult to control—general acute care.
It's worth reading the whole article too to understand what PCTs managed to do (and what they didn't) during their time. I'm reading it purely as an outsider to the medical world, but it has some interesting points to make.

Some people have forgotten how to debate.Assertion is not debate. One needs to backup assertions with facts.Without links or guidance to the info it will fail to continue into debate.

You appear to be confusing "inefficient" with "increasing demand, ageing population, half the number of hospital beds, not enough clinical and support staff, the Government removing Nurses Bursaries"…

Sometimes the "bleeding obvious" is just a misinformed opinion - like a large number of issues, people try to reduce very complex issues to simple problems, when this is not, in fact, true.

Spot on. What would be more helpful would be some kind of benchmarking to similar services.

Disagree. The bleedin’ obvious can always be debated. The bleedin’ obvious is already a fact.

The Torygraph for one; never wrong. Farage for another and for a different reason. On medical matters, the BMJ. On the bleedin’ obvious, the common sense of others, some of whom just enjoy being difficult.

What are you on about? The list you provided is evidence to support my evidence - namely the bleedin’ obvious that the NHS is on its knees.

I never mentioned “inefficient” in the post to which you replied.

The Telegraph is not as accurate as you might think.

Here's an example of how it's not never wrong. Not only did it publish significantly misleading information, it also tried to defend that significantly misleading information!

Quote:
An article by Toby Young for the Daily Telegraph was “significantly misleading” when it said that catching a cold could protect people from coronavirus and claimed that London was approaching herd immunity, the press regulator has ruled.

In a decision published on Thursday, the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) complaints committee ordered the Telegraph to publish a correction over the column, which was appeared in July last year under the headline: “When we have herd immunity Boris will face a reckoning on this pointless and damaging lockdown.”

It’s worth noting that this was not just a case of a mistake slipping through. Rather, the Daily Telegraph tried to defend the article to the regulator. But the regulator found a string of errors and refusals to correct:

The publication … misrepresented the nature of immunity and implied that people previously exposed to some common colds might be automatically immune to suffering symptoms and passing on Covid-19 to others … The publication did not offer to correct this significantly misleading statement …

The statement that cross-reactive T-cells mean “that the population of London is probably approaching herd immunity” was significantly misleading. It was misleading both as to how herd immunity is reached and whether it existed in London … the newspaper did not offer to correct this significantly misleading statement.
