Common sense long term policy making obviously went out of the window..

This goes back to my note on going back to the old ways. The NHS has got rid of nurse's homes, funding for training (as mentioned) and all sorts of goodies that enticed nurses into the profession.

Well, the nurses accommodations at the Leeds General Infirmary were closed because no one wanted to live there - they were shabby, had terrible heating, shared bathrooms and toilets...

The Tories have no dislike of the NHS. They have made bad policy in the past (1980s) mainly because most politicians are ******s.

The current crisis is also the result of bad policy, in particular where austerity meets huge rise in population.

If so, this has not manifested itself in spending on the NHS. I don't like party politics but it's a fact that Labour has consistently raised spending on the NHS in real terms far more than the Conservatives. (5.6% v 1.3%)

I don't dispute your facts. But austerity was imposed by the Tories following Labour's spell in government. That, together with the huge rise in population, hit the NHS hard.

That's right, and Labour's throwing money at the NHS was wasted. It didn't prevent the pitiful situation of patients having to drink out of vases, did it?

In my view, the NHS could be a lot more efficient without having to allocate billions more every year.

Re: Crisis in the NHS

I thought computers were going to streamline everything, and make the NHS faster and more efficient.

I guess nobody factored in the cost of new and 'improved' systems every year
. . . and then there's a TV at every bedside, many of which don't get used.

Sometimes I swear the world is going backwards in the name of progress

Private sector IT solutions for the Public Sector have never really worked out (for the public sector/tax payer anyway, the companies have done very well).

The last conversation I had with my Dad was on how to work out the fecking card machine tv, so he could watch the footy. The equipment seemed way more complex and took up more space than the machines that temporarily kept him alive. All seemed wrong somehow.

Brexit-hit Spanish nurses deepen NHS staffing crisis
The staffing crisis in the National Health Service is escalating because hundreds of Spanish nurses are threatening to leave after it emerged that domestic rules threaten to render their UK work experience worthless at home after Brexit.
Spanish nurses currently build up points from work experience in other countries, which they can then use to improve their salary or job prospects in Spain.[when we leave the EU their UK work experience won't count]
