    “Raise taxes on working people or reform to secure [the NHS’] future. We know working people can’t afford to pay more, so it is reform or die.”

    Alexa, show me a false dichotomy.

    It’s amazing how the their report names austerity as the culprit of the NHS’ waning condition, but Streeting’s solution seems to just change where money is allocated. The UK spends significantly less on Health compared to other developed countries, is it really surprising that our results would be significantly worse?

      I live in the US (granted I watch a lot of UK content) and even my first reaction at reading the headline was along the lines of “then fucking pay/fund them instead of setting them up to fail!”

    My hope is that the reform is in the form of more early intervention at a community level (which is kinda what we had before the Great Gutting over the last decade).

    Though going by the mood in this thread, I should be emigrating to Sweden…

    Finally we got rid of the party who want to dismantle the NHS to profit their wealthy donors!
