UK Politics Thread (Part 4)

That i agree with, but it goes further and deeper than that. You cant reform the NHS without reforming how public entities do business.

There’s two extremes to this. Bring everything completely into the public domain or the complete opposite, privatise it. Both scenarios however need more freedom and measures that make procurement far easier, quicker and better value.

There’s difficulties with each extreme, particularly the fully private one. I’d say.

Just not very well?

When Cameron was on the electoral trail in 2010 he promised there would be no top down reorganisation if the NHS. One of the first things the Tories did in power was to set about a top down reorganisation of the NHS.

NHS reform, especially under the Tories, has been more about keeping the service in a continual state of confusion and demoralisation. It fits in the Tory agenda of running down the NHS and driving increased privatisation.

I agree that there needs to be reform of the NHS, especially around staffing (I’ve heard a lot of stories about the shit you can pull in the NHS if you don’t really fancy going to work) but it needs to be led by practitioners, not politicians.

Did you see Sir Tom Hunter on question time last night?

He said for years he’s gone to businesses with problems, and in the first instance spoken to the foot soldier workforce.
Then sacked/replaced the management.
Perhaps the NHS is top heavy?

It makes complete sense if the management is the issue.

The question is, is the NHS top-heavy, or just not staffed with the right people, or the victim of too much political meddling, or some mixture of any combination of these and other factors?

Pretty sure the government have appointed someone to conduct a review of the NHS though.

I was wrong.

Apparently it’s even more generous than I thought.

Yes but why?

Answer: project managers and associated staff managing nhs subcontracts. This is what happens when you outsource stuff.

I’m a bit angered by this. You’ve basically got a few high profile farmers with a right wing leaning spreading shite. The rest swallow it.

But this is something talked about for the last 10 or 20 years and taken as gospel and I thought i read somewhere that it wasnt true…

I think the word “if” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

I wrongly thought that TW were being bailed out by the Government. But @Arminius corrected me on this.

Do you have an idea on the other part of my post?

Interesting discussion here…

The Internet really does have a lot to answer for. Every fuckwit thinks he’s a genius.

That’s a better explanation than what I posted above, thanks.

Except this won’t matter because for some reason the NFU head is against it. I wonder what his own farm is worth?
