How do we save the NHS
1) make it mandatory for all NHS trusts to be run by a seasoned healthcare proffessional such as a matron, Consultant etc with some less highly paid clipboard Johnnys to carry out the basic administration
2) Abolish national Insurance and replace it with an Income tax "surcharge" which pays for a compulsory health insurance scheme with unemployed, benefits scroungers, pensioners etc all credited with their contributions
3) Convert some of the hospitals into specialist centres dealing with a particular aspect of healthcare where you can concentrate specialists in that field such hospitals could then tackle long waiting lists for certain types of operations as they could operate almost on a production line basis
4) Create a fundraising organisation which would concentrate on procuring large scale donations to pay for new buildings and hospitals instead of running up huge debts as happens now
There you go TT an answer to your question but not one you like because it doesn't use communist ideology

1) From this you seem to want a nurse who's been there for a few years to be responsible for finance that's like the ticket collector on a train being responsible for the running of the railway - tbh I think the nurse should be there to help the sick.
2) So we replace one tax with errm another tax? So who gets to tell the sick when their credits have run out? Do we get to put them in the gutter?
3) You mean like the regional heart hospitals they're currently closing?
4) You mean you don't think the government can afford to give interest free loans - or do you think the PFI schemes created by both tory and labour administrations were just put in place to ensure the contributors to the party benefitted?
