OUR NHS is on its beam end BY DESIGN. Money is only part of many answers. No 12 hour shifts for any NHS servant – especially nurses. Meal breaks sacrosanct – therefore more professional staff – RGNs etc. ‘Back to nursing’ schools lead by carefully selected tutors – with mileage allowances etc. Bursaries to be given to nurses etc who return to the NHS IF they claim
such. New ‘whistleblowing’ contract for all servants of OUR NHS – inviolate. Compare with airline pilots.
Morale and esprits de corps to be restored to OUR great NHS by all means. Some present ‘care’ is grossly negligent; standards have fallen very badly.
OUR NHS has been set up to fail – by the ‘neo-liberal’ conspirators in each of the three main parties – starting with Margaret Thatcher LG, OM, DStJ, PC, FRS, HonFRSC and Sir Nicholas Ridley, Baron Ridley of Liddesdale, PC through Milburn, Lansley, Cameron/Clegg and the many.
Public Health
Take out of County Council hands. A sub-ministry of the DoH. The epidemics of obesity, alcoholism, drug and gambling addiction etc to be studied by the best minds, ways forward tried and very carefully monitored.
Advertising of gambling to be banned, and that of alcohol greatly curtailed with industry agreement.
Sexual health to be taught in schools by professionals (nursing, medical – especially bacteriorologists in parallel with Open University programmes.
Barrier contraception to be promoted outside of constant relationship. HPV vaccination of boys – actual and propaganda for, to be removed.
