@Treacs05: Personally not agreeing with a paper's political viewpoint does not make it an unreliable source. I don't read the Guardian, but you'd think I was pretty stupid for simply refusing to answer points made in it because I find it easier to blithely call it 'unreliable'. Most nationally read and renowned newspapers are fairly reliable, it isn't in their interests to lie. All they've done is quote the British Geriatics Society. How is that 'unreliable'?
Well the government are handing over control to the GPs, sadly not for the right reasons. GPs and the government don't get along because the GPs are basically independent from the government so by handing over control to the GPs the government are actually just making sure that when the NHS eventually collapses the GPs take the blame and no government party ends up look like they were responsible for the ruin of one of the UKs most valuable assests.
I would rather hurt myself and wait for free treatment, than hurt myself and wonder if I can afford to get this bleeding stopped or if I should just hope for the best.
the problem is that they dont have enough nurses and doctors theres to meany managers and u8 could pay 2 nurses on a manages wages any but we should be grateful for wht we get thought
The service of the NHS are probably below average but at least you're getting some form of treatment unlike other countries, people are just ungrateful
@PLAYSTATIONBLOKE I only said they are 'probably below average' as that's what the song is making it seem like, I wasn't downgrading it at all. Chill out, my dad's actually a doctor for the nhs.
People on benefits are not ungrateful as such, they have a false sense of entitlement. The nhs however does deserve a hell of a lot more funding. When taxpayers, however, complain about the nhs they actually have a right to because they are paying for their healthcare.

hey the government in this country are a bunch load of drug dealers catching you on the rebound, so by going private they are making you pay double or more for the same score. makes sense to them but leaves us dying on the streets.
I think the reason for inefficiencies within the NHS is because unlike businesses, you most certainly can't let a hospital close if it runs out of money. What should happen IMO is a hospital is given a budget, and if they go over that budget bail them out, BUT with the assumption that the managers be disciplined/fired because of it. Same with service standards, rather than set arbitrary targets, monitor satisfaction and outcomes and discipline managers who fail to provide "value for money".
It's funded by fair taxes. You either pay them to companies (excess profits when they're not kept in check by the government) or you pay them to the government. The difference is companies exist to get the maximum amount of money out of you. By OECD figures, tax as a percentage of GDP in the UK is right in the middle of the developed countries. Our taxes are not too high, but too low, and too lenient on the rich (the only ones doing well right now).
People complaining about the evils of the NHS often forget that there is a private system also available for them, if they're willing to part with their money. :B
Do none of you people slagging off this song realise these guys are british doctors with first hand experience of the health service?! They're satirising the NHS for comic effect, lighten the hell up!
I would just like to say, as im a carer in the private sector, nursing/residential home, and from my own experience, that the NHS do a wonderful job with the limited means they have. no doubt there are staff that really could do better, but as a whole I have faith in the NHS. I think we are very lucky to have the nhs, if we get broken we get fixed for no charge, not like in the usa. Thy work very hard here and just do not get the appreciation they deserve
we're lucky (in UK) for NHS. but this song does have a point, politicians dont care (i mean ALL of them, not just tony blair when he was in power) about the health or wellfare of this country.
I worked for the NHS (1985-1990) in a GP surgery and American medicine most of my life - You Brits should be thankful for NHS - wish we had the NHS in USA. Many people in America get ZERO medical care. Your nurses and GPs are GREAT!!
I get so fed up when people mock the NHS. Ive been wanting to work for them for years and if it wasn't there then there would be even more songs on here complaining that there is no decent Health Service.
Its just saying how bad it is at the moment, I don't think that iv ever really had a nice experience with them myself I realise that we are lucky to have it when you think of America for example but the songs kinda write.
The NHS costs's the average tax payer £6 quid a week, pretty good when you have a car accident oneday and need 10 operations totalling 2-300k. The NHS is a great service that really cant be mocked, people would moan like hell if they had to pay !80-150 quid a month like the Americans do in Health care insurance
Also, I wasn't advocating a private system, you dumbass, I was stating two ways to improve either health system, being it NHS how they should spend more money on research, or if people decide to go the other route the (modified it's not purely capitalist by the way) private system in the US which should provide some free type of health care, but put limits on it..
If government takes control of Healthcare, it should spend more money on research than anything else.
The free market however naturally allows competition between companies, rather than having a single entity in charge.
If you ask me if I support the NHS, or the Privatized system, I say a mixed system, that will support people only for life threatening conditions however, don't support everyone for almost every type of health problem, and definetly don't get rid of the competition.
What most people don't realize, that because of that evil Privatized system and competition between companies that the US has, that it has made most of the innovations and advances in health care.
NHS does well with rationing the supplies, and making sure everyone has health care, but it supports the expensive costs thus lowers incentives for companies to make healthcare cheaper and more efficient, and gets in the way of progress.
However insurance in America supports the same exact problem.
NHS works because it is essentially a triage (Treat the max num of people using the mini of money). This is better than the private health care version (Treat the mini while charging the max), but still leaves those few rare cases to fall between the gaps.
Unfortunally, even ur simplistic ideas won't cover it, be it capitalist or a communist system, you will always get people with rare diseases who need treatment.
First of all dickhead, I never said I was right, I was merely stating my opinion, but go ahead and keep being a prick.
"Unfortunally, even ur simplistic ideas won't cover it"
Who said they were my ideas? It's called the free market, look it up. Realize the US is responsible for the most medical advances in history, and has some of the highest quality treatment in the world. It's government intervention, and insurance that keeps the price high.
@Lollocide "NHS works because it is essentially a triage (Treat the max num of people using the mini of money)"
First of all, I never said it didn't work.
"This is better than the private health care version"
Oh sure in certain ways it is better, such as rationing the services out and making sure all people get services. As a result however it affects the quality, such as longer waiting times, higher death rates of cancer, less innovations, and the price will stagnate.
The NHS is a good thing. You don't have to pay thousands of pounds for a major operation or pay for a check up, it all gets paid for by tax. It's a good system so don't diss it.
anyone who wants rid of the NHS go for treatment in the US and I promise you will never think this way again!!! its really not that bad, waiting for treatment is better than not getting it!!!
@chouslop15 I had to wait 18 months just to have a tooth pulled out because it was getting in the way of 2 coming through - that's one of the reasons why the NHS is crap.
@Wonderguard1 Ah now I do admit the dentist segment of the NHS is really over stretched, also its such a lottery people in the south have much beter choice of dentist and plenty of them, same cant be said in the north. But still its better than nothing!!
while that is true, we pay a s!$tload more tax than the americans do. Granted most of our taxes are hidden but still we have paid for our medical care
@TheJinkedful True but remember the NHS is only really to help the poorest people. I (and many many others) also have private medical insurance (using the NHS is not the only option) and the treatement is just dandy, amoung the best in the developed world. I would much rather have no frills treatment for all, and those that can, pay a little extra for fluffy pillows and nicer food can. At least everyone will be treated. Going forward I think the NHS MUST work in comparison with private insurance
Fuck off to America then, and when your HMO decides you are not economically viable, please post the video of your death-rattle here, so we can watch you die in defence of your "free" market.
@leninism100 OK your going to have to tell me what HMO is? (Dosnt mean much here in the UK) It sounds like a health insurance provider? and that they turn you down beacuse your care is too exspensive? If so thats why I said having a state based provider like the NHS is best, but to provide total health care for a nation is impossible, even we dont have that (dentistry is subsidised by the government) but also I like having the option to go private if i choose, and the NHS will always be there
@leninism100: Leftwing fantasy. Ever heard of Mediaid or Medicare? The US federal government currently spends around 25-30% of it's revenue on welfare and social security. This is a smaller percentage than in most European nations, but still equates to a larger lump sum than the entirety of Europe currently spends on social care.
Obviously you never been to the US. No one is ever "Refused" treatment. They could pay for it themselves, they could put it on a credit card, they could buy insurance that pays for it, or if they are chronically ill, or disabled they could get medicaid from either the State or the Federal government. There are also foundations which donate to help pay certain types of patients, such as Child patients, cancer patients, and so on.
@cooltoye I never said they were refused. I meant the level of treatment you get depends on how much money you have, we dont have that here. And I have been to many state and own a home in one of them, should teach you no to presume!!!
@chouslop15 I had many doctors in various states give me or members of my family expensive treatment, for Free, out of the kindness of their own hearts. That is only possible if Government is not involved financially.

"Constitutional liberty will be best worked out by those who aspire to freedom by their own efforts." ~ Sir Robert Peel
The NHS should never be privitised. Just thinking about getting rid of the NHS is stupid. The problem is all this managers and government agencies that are wasting money trying to think up ways to save money. Talk about ironic.
Also with all the cuts the new tory gov. are implementing, do you think the NHS is going to improve? dont think so.
@scotland4eva1 I agree that the NHS should NOT be got rid of. However, it seriously needs to buck its ideas up with regard to efficiency and this isn't something the Government can alwasy be blamed for. Little, daft example, I had to take my partner to Stob Hill Hospital (Springburn, Glasgow) in the SUMMER, and in casualty, they had the central heating on, and the windows wide open. Sorting stupid things like that surely would/could be a good start amongst other things!?
@HarryScoots I left that comment 5 months ago. Have you really got nothing better to do that looking through the internet and criticise people for having opinions. Get a life mate.
@scotland4eva1 Exactly. The Tories cut the NHS budget until it becomes useless, then convince the people they don't want it so they can get their way and cut it completely.
entertainmentstore (dot) pro (dot) tc - Great website that sells brand new movies, PS3 games XBOX360 games and tons more for so cheap. I got COD4 for just 7.99 on there! Check it out if you want!
i am only a teenager and my brother and dad are doctors in the nhs i want to carry on in there footsteps does anyone here have any knowledge on if it is a enjoyable occupation.
the NHS winds me up, I work at an NHS' dentists and have the country complain they need one, yet we have next to no patients, hours free each day...yet we dont have the facilities to register our own patients, what a waste.
Maybe it is all those things, but its still awesome. The flaws of the NHS would pretty much still remain in another system, maybe we should all just stop getting easily preventable stuff like Diabetes, smoking caused disease and obesity. That'd probably help a lot.
@SaviorOfLogic Wow, good argument...apart from the fact that you didn't relate it to what I said, other than that, it was good. But you are missing the point of the NHS; it provides a system whereby everyone gets the same treatment regardless of their financial status. As a historian once said "from each according to their means, to each according to their needs". All the NHS does is level the playing field for all, it stops lack of insurance problems which plagues america, it is a huge plus.
@busbasher The implied alternative is america, which is fascistic, so much so that (purely from an american perspective), socialized healthcare may be better, if you subtract the global benefits of innovation. so yes, the fact everyone can have access to a waiting list and that costs are 'lower' can be seen as a benefit, when compared to the regulatory corporatist mess america has. However, a friendly society system would be 'the best of both worlds', having innovation as well as cheap coverage.
@busbasher It was basically a charity insurance program, but only really done by 'the poor' (the rich could afford their own doctor), but also spent money on other things they felt they wanted, such as welfare (this was like the 1930s and prior), and were both local and optional. They would either employ an in-house doctor or pay out of the pot for each circumstance. It was essentially universal healthcare, but the doctors had good incentives, as they were paid by their patients, not politcians.
@SaviorOfLogic So the community pays for a local public doctor free to all. This is optional. It seems that the only real change is that the payments are optional. Am I right?
@busbasher rubbish. the alternative s paying £50 a month and going private. I would be happy if my national insurance went to bupa. You live in a dreamworld. Living at home still yes? You forget about health visitors that come to england with their illnesses and put upon the NHS creating lack of resources and funds or the people born here
try living in london asshole and not in your moms house
@sweetypie000 If I am not mistaken you cannot use the NHS unless you are a UK citizen. If so then these people have as much right to the care as people who sit at home on benefits. A higher proportion of immigrants find work than british citizens, so your freeloader argument falls through (although I agree for that minority). If you are rich enough to afford private healthcare then feel free but don't bitch about having to help the less fortunate who can't afford to wipe their arses with gold.
@busbasher you are mistaken. The nhs stupidly is obligated to help people who turn up from abroad with their ailments and by god do they come and take the piss big time.
"A higher proportion of immigrants find work than british citizens," are you mental or what ? where do you get your statistics from you utter mug. What a pathetic and dumb statement. It dosen't even make sense.
"but don't bitch about having to help the less fortunat." I do and i will bitch - I'M PAYING FOR THEM !!
@sweetypie000 Then I agree that it is an issue, and should perhaps work on the same principal as benefits.
Roughly 90% of people moving to this country do so and get jobs. For UK citizens it is far lower, probably because we don't want the jobs.
If you're going to bitch about supporting the less fortunate then why not go to the third world countries our government supports and bitch about how it sucks that you have to pay £1 a month in taxes to give them clean water the selfish basterds!
In Theory if the goverment declare it Bankrupt they could just throw the NHS out of the window.
Create a new organisation buy all the old hospitals Cheap and Surgerys off the private organisations who want to get rid of all of these fast. Then they won't be in much Debt and can start clean.
@brunt3200 I would have thought that the NHS debts would be linked to the government as a publically owned company to stop them doing something like that

The NHS costs's the average tax payer £6 quid a week, pretty good when you have a car accident oneday and need 10 operations totalling 2-300k. The NHS is a great service that really cant be mocked, people would moan like hell if they had to pay !80-150 quid a month like the Americans do in Health care insurance

Also, I wasn't advocating a private system, you dumbass, I was stating two ways to improve either health system, being it NHS how they should spend more money on research, or if people decide to go the other route the (modified it's not purely capitalist by the way) private system in the US which should provide some free type of health care, but put limits on it..
Infantryfail 1 year ago
If government takes control of Healthcare, it should spend more money on research than anything else.
The free market however naturally allows competition between companies, rather than having a single entity in charge.
If you ask me if I support the NHS, or the Privatized system, I say a mixed system, that will support people only for life threatening conditions however, don't support everyone for almost every type of health problem, and definetly don't get rid of the competition.
Infantryfail 1 year ago
What most people don't realize, that because of that evil Privatized system and competition between companies that the US has, that it has made most of the innovations and advances in health care.
NHS does well with rationing the supplies, and making sure everyone has health care, but it supports the expensive costs thus lowers incentives for companies to make healthcare cheaper and more efficient, and gets in the way of progress.
However insurance in America supports the same exact problem.

Sorry to shit on your parade, but you're wrong.
NHS works because it is essentially a triage (Treat the max num of people using the mini of money). This is better than the private health care version (Treat the mini while charging the max), but still leaves those few rare cases to fall between the gaps.
Unfortunally, even ur simplistic ideas won't cover it, be it capitalist or a communist system, you will always get people with rare diseases who need treatment.

First of all dickhead, I never said I was right, I was merely stating my opinion, but go ahead and keep being a prick.
"Unfortunally, even ur simplistic ideas won't cover it"
Who said they were my ideas? It's called the free market, look it up. Realize the US is responsible for the most medical advances in history, and has some of the highest quality treatment in the world. It's government intervention, and insurance that keeps the price high.

@Lollocide "NHS works because it is essentially a triage (Treat the max num of people using the mini of money)"
First of all, I never said it didn't work.
"This is better than the private health care version"
Oh sure in certain ways it is better, such as rationing the services out and making sure all people get services. As a result however it affects the quality, such as longer waiting times, higher death rates of cancer, less innovations, and the price will stagnate.
Infantryfail 1 year ago
@Infantryfail There's only one "problem" with your points about the NHS.
You're questioning the sacred cow.
No matter how much sense you make when questioning the NHS beyond saying "invest* more money" you are insta-wrong.
Talk about reducing cost, improving efficiency, standards and STILL treating everyone and you're *still* going to be wrong.
Stupid, but true.
* invest = euphemism. There's no investment in the NHS, it is all "spent" not "invested"... but that doesn't sound positive enough.

The NHS is a good thing. You don't have to pay thousands of pounds for a major operation or pay for a check up, it all gets paid for by tax. It's a good system so don't diss it.

TheJinkedful 7 months ago
@TheJinkedful True but remember the NHS is only really to help the poorest people. I (and many many others) also have private medical insurance (using the NHS is not the only option) and the treatement is just dandy, amoung the best in the developed world. I would much rather have no frills treatment for all, and those that can, pay a little extra for fluffy pillows and nicer food can. At least everyone will be treated. Going forward I think the NHS MUST work in comparison with private insurance

@leninism100 OK your going to have to tell me what HMO is? (Dosnt mean much here in the UK) It sounds like a health insurance provider? and that they turn you down beacuse your care is too exspensive? If so thats why I said having a state based provider like the NHS is best, but to provide total health care for a nation is impossible, even we dont have that (dentistry is subsidised by the government) but also I like having the option to go private if i choose, and the NHS will always be there
chouslop15 7 months ago
@leninism100: Leftwing fantasy. Ever heard of Mediaid or Medicare? The US federal government currently spends around 25-30% of it's revenue on welfare and social security. This is a smaller percentage than in most European nations, but still equates to a larger lump sum than the entirety of Europe currently spends on social care.

Obviously you never been to the US. No one is ever "Refused" treatment. They could pay for it themselves, they could put it on a credit card, they could buy insurance that pays for it, or if they are chronically ill, or disabled they could get medicaid from either the State or the Federal government. There are also foundations which donate to help pay certain types of patients, such as Child patients, cancer patients, and so on.

@cooltoye I never said they were refused. I meant the level of treatment you get depends on how much money you have, we dont have that here. And I have been to many state and own a home in one of them, should teach you no to presume!!!

@chouslop15 I had many doctors in various states give me or members of my family expensive treatment, for Free, out of the kindness of their own hearts. That is only possible if Government is not involved financially.

The NHS should never be privitised. Just thinking about getting rid of the NHS is stupid. The problem is all this managers and government agencies that are wasting money trying to think up ways to save money. Talk about ironic.
Also with all the cuts the new tory gov. are implementing, do you think the NHS is going to improve? dont think so.
scotland4eva1 1 year ago 76
@scotland4eva1 I agree that the NHS should NOT be got rid of. However, it seriously needs to buck its ideas up with regard to efficiency and this isn't something the Government can alwasy be blamed for. Little, daft example, I had to take my partner to Stob Hill Hospital (Springburn, Glasgow) in the SUMMER, and in casualty, they had the central heating on, and the windows wide open. Sorting stupid things like that surely would/could be a good start amongst other things!?

SaviorOfLogic 1 year ago
@SaviorOfLogic Wow, good argument...apart from the fact that you didn't relate it to what I said, other than that, it was good. But you are missing the point of the NHS; it provides a system whereby everyone gets the same treatment regardless of their financial status. As a historian once said "from each according to their means, to each according to their needs". All the NHS does is level the playing field for all, it stops lack of insurance problems which plagues america, it is a huge plus.
busbasher 1 year ago
@busbasher The implied alternative is america, which is fascistic, so much so that (purely from an american perspective), socialized healthcare may be better, if you subtract the global benefits of innovation. so yes, the fact everyone can have access to a waiting list and that costs are 'lower' can be seen as a benefit, when compared to the regulatory corporatist mess america has. However, a friendly society system would be 'the best of both worlds', having innovation as well as cheap coverage.
SaviorOfLogic 1 year ago
@SaviorOfLogic I don't know of the friendly society system. please elaborate.
busbasher 1 year ago
@busbasher It was basically a charity insurance program, but only really done by 'the poor' (the rich could afford their own doctor), but also spent money on other things they felt they wanted, such as welfare (this was like the 1930s and prior), and were both local and optional. They would either employ an in-house doctor or pay out of the pot for each circumstance. It was essentially universal healthcare, but the doctors had good incentives, as they were paid by their patients, not politcians.
SaviorOfLogic 1 year ago
@SaviorOfLogic So the community pays for a local public doctor free to all. This is optional. It seems that the only real change is that the payments are optional. Am I right?
busbasher 1 year ago
@busbasher Basically yes, that and the fact it was more local.

@busbasher rubbish. the alternative s paying £50 a month and going private. I would be happy if my national insurance went to bupa. You live in a dreamworld. Living at home still yes?

sweetypie000 1 year ago
@sweetypie000 If I am not mistaken you cannot use the NHS unless you are a UK citizen. If so then these people have as much right to the care as people who sit at home on benefits. A higher proportion of immigrants find work than british citizens, so your freeloader argument falls through (although I agree for that minority). If you are rich enough to afford private healthcare then feel free but don't bitch about having to help the less fortunate who can't afford to wipe their arses with gold.
busbasher 1 year ago
@busbasher you are mistaken. The nhs stupidly is obligated to help people who turn up from abroad with their ailments and by god do they come and take the piss big time.
"A higher proportion of immigrants find work than british citizens," are you mental or what ? where do you get your statistics from you utter mug. What a pathetic and dumb statement. It dosen't even make sense.
"but don't bitch about having to help the less fortunat." I do and i will bitch - I'M PAYING FOR THEM !!
sweetypie000 1 year ago
@sweetypie000 Then I agree that it is an issue, and should perhaps work on the same principal as benefits.
Roughly 90% of people moving to this country do so and get jobs. For UK citizens it is far lower, probably because we don't want the jobs.
If you're going to bitch about supporting the less fortunate then why not go to the third world countries our government supports and bitch about how it sucks that you have to pay £1 a month in taxes to give them clean water the selfish basterds!
