why the straight face?Originally Posted by jon1959
you accuse Westminster of all sorts, but ignore the Senedd. In your world when its good in wales its down to Welsh Labour, when its bad its down to Westminster. you also go on about profiting from healthcare, and completely ignore that the largest non state healthcare providers in the UK are non profit (BUPA and Nuffield Health). You seem to think that only the state can provide healthcare without turning a profit. most will agree that BUPA and Nuffield Health are light years ahead of the NHS in terms of quality of care, service and outcomes any surplus reinvested in patient care.
What I don't understand is if someone can see a specialist today, why can't the NHS pay for it today? Why do they have to wait 6 months? If its on BUPA or Nuffield then the specialist will see you straight away. All we need to do is follow the German and French model that allows private sector delivery but funded by the public purse. Waiting times are unheard of over there. However, the politicking you claim to avoid wouldn't allow you to admit there are alternatives to what we have at present that does not involve total state delivery.
meh!
