>> We spend 10-15% less on Healtcare than France and Germany.
And what we do spend does not seem to be spent well. To be honest I am surprised the difference is only 10 - 15%. I guess the impact is cumulative.
>> Tens of thousands of posts are unfilled.
Years of under investment relying on foreign recruitment and then making the country unattractive to them.
>> Management are hamstrung by stupid targets (and not being the best).
"stupid" is not a big enough world. Ludicrous gets closer. And as for not being the best, in my experience the whole management structure is an absolute bag of bolts.
>> Govt has invested in PFI rather than capital resources.
Government has invested in what suits them and re-election spin, rather than any realk good.
>> There is no Miners' moment that works in the Govt's favour (we didn't need UK coal in the 80s - it was a no lose situation for Thatcher).
I don't want anything to work in the Government's favour. Nor in the unions. I'd rather it worked in favour of the customers.
>> I agree everyone should be vaccinated or suffer restrictions according to science (ie additional potential harm by not being vaccinated).
I don't really understand the reluctance, I suspect that it is not the medical staff.
