But "use the private sector to bring down waiting lists" is enough nonsense to undermine the whole plan There is no spare capacity sat idle in the private sector, so either this is unresearched, or Wes is funding an expansion of the private sector I don't want an unresearched plan, and if we have money to expand capacity, we should so so within the NHS!

@keithparker1346 it's not over with Wes, but it makes a great first step 😁

@keithparker1346 and hopefully serves as an inspiration for other seats too!

@charlievarley you're talking about an option that doesn't exist - there are no surgeons sat waiting for patients. We can expand capacity if we invest money and attract new staff, but if we're investing, why not invest in-house?

@charlievarley I am happy with any improvement, but that represents maybe half a percent in increased capacity I acknowledge that anyone would struggle to fix 14 years of damage, but it's clear that the private sector isn't waiting to save us. Why does Wes insist that we need to involve private medical capacity that doesn't exist?

@charlievarley social care is a good place to start! I can see that making far more difference than the other ideas they're promoting
