    Another example of why the NHS should be privatised. Most Doctors don’t give a crap any more, they got their funding for you and will try their damn best not to give certain treatments to save as much as they can. These days you literally need to be arrogant and fight for acceptable care because if not, you are just going to be fobbed off more often than not.

    If it was private and operated through insurance policies, they would need to improve care and their service as they would strive to be your primary health care provider to stop you spending money elsewhere.

    I hope your son feels better soon, I am sure he willl be well soon. All the best at work too, sounds like its gonna be a tiring one!

    I still have a cyst on my face, because having have an appointment for 12pm (means nothing) getting there for 11am, do checks waiting watching people go in and out. 4pm rolls on i have had enough go to the desk oh the surgeon who should be doing it is not here, so you will have to bee seen by another not so good surgeon. I just walked out, as for privatising the NHS it will go the way of everything else (Higher prices for us shoddier services and worser care) who pays for it while the fat cats get rich? That’s right the people at bottom who already get shafted.

    Hope the baby and the family are okay.

    The prices won’t be much higher. Insurance would be regulated so its more affordable and of course low income members of society would have subsidised or free insurance policies in order to get cheaper or free healthcare.

    If the money is not given to the health provider directly then they are more inclined to offer a better service.

    Some of the best healthcare systems in the world run on private models.

    Everyone has their own view of course, but my and many others experience with the NHS has been bad so I won’t glorify it like the nation does.

    You do realise the NHS was born a business ? yes, access for all. So what you are really saying is juggle it around a bit different and a mix happens for who gets richer. I studied systemics for 3 decades of my own accord and I realise the fatal flaw.

    Life over money
    Money over life

    You can’t be against one and not champion the other.

    It’s horrible when you know what’s right for your kids but they won’t listen isn’t it ?. My daughter came home from nursery yesterday with chicken pox ?, they said even though they knew it was chicken pox I have to take her to be diagnosed so she can be off nursery for a week. Why friggin send me up there when you know it’s chicken pox?! Frustrates the shit out of me.

    Have you tried different kinds of drinks with your child? I tend to only let mine drink water or them innocent smoothies, but when she won’t drink I try her with squash or pure apple or orange juice. Might be worth a shot.

    Hope your son gets better soon x

    Regardless of the way it is operated the main important thing is patient care which drastically needs improving so if it involved juggling it around then I think thats the best option. If it was private, money won’t be wasted as it is constantly now, people won’t get treatments they don’t actually need (saving money) and the care will improve because the provider is not getting their funds up front as they do now so currently, in their eyes, they have got their money so they care less about you or your care.

    Obviously a lot of good things do happen in the NHS, and some trusts perform better than others in terms of patient care but it has constantly decreased in recent years.

    Sorry, but you are making gross generalisations there. Yes,the NHS does not work perfectly all the time in every hospital and there is the odd Doctor and Nurse that “dont give a crap” and at mistakes are made. However, most of the time the vast majority of the NHS staff do a fantastic job! Wonderful with my mum on her regular visits (she brings them a box of chocolates cuz they’re so lovely) and with me  when i broke my arm. Just watch any episode of 24 hours in A and E and see what a great job they’re doing for us day in day out.
