  1. Beurocracy and huge salaries for management are just one aspect. The NHS is paying back private financial debt thanks to Blair and the Tories who doubled down on PFIs, and pay for corrupt pharma contracts (Pharma has been fined £100's of millions). Then since the 2014 health care bill, for-profit organisations are being prioritized meaning taxpayers' money is going to shareholders. Outsourcing is another cause as well as the sale of profitable NHS assets and land. Not to mention the multitude of lawsuits the NHS face because of failures, mistakes, incorrect diagnosis etc. Most of this has been engineered/enabled by the Government and legilsation.

  2. Just one example of NHS losses is the sale of our emergency blood supplies to bain capital, who then sold them on to a Chinese consortium for 10x the price they paid. Over £502 million of 'unwanted' assets have also been sold as well as many buildings and housing - some of which were still in use. £2 billion was paid in 2016 for private finance charges and has surely escalated since.

  3. I always support the NHS and give information to provide evidence for my views. As someone who has waited 20 months for an appointment to finally receive scans which showed fluid in my lungs, liver cirrhosis, gallstones and a few other issues it would be easy to jump on the bandwagon and defame the NHS. But the staff and the original nationalised model is beyond reproach, the management of the NHS especially by the Tories and the legislation they have enacted can be directly linked to the current problems.
