Do you rember that video about health statistics in the UK and America, I will tell you that Americans are richer and can afford healthier food, education, therapy and healthcare. And Americans exercise more than British people. Americans definitely eat more proccesed food and fried food which is why they live longer.

Totally agree with this, the principle of national healthcare is overwhelmingly supported in the UK, most people wouldnt want this to change but that doesn't mean it does everything well. In my experience the NHS does emergency care really well but less impressive with chronic illnesses and prevention (there is also an obvious postcode lottery with some things).

@harriedavies3940 3 года назад

couldn't agree more. the NHS is pretty universally popular - but conservative governments (and Blair's labour) have tried to undercut it to facilitate privatization - which means it's running below its potential because it's underfunded, staff cuts, etc etc. and then certain quarters of the press (*cough* Murdoch *cough*) spin the narrative to suggest the NHS is crap and not fit for purpose. if it were properly run it would be spectacular. even not properly run it's pretty great.

So yes we understand that it’s not free ...... it just feels like it’s free because you don’t miss your affordable national insurance tax contributions .

I talked with an acquaintance who had been the Chairman of one of the Regional Health Authorities - responsible for dozens of hospitals. He told me that he had found it hard / impossible to get them to buy short life supplies on a 'as required' basis. Hence they were forever throwing away drugs and other supplies whose 'use by' date had expired. Another problem was the "Use it or lose it" approach that the Civil Service applies to budgets, which drives hospitals to use unspent money at the end of the financial year on 'something' that might be useful and ensures all the budget is spent. He described finding one hospital with thousands of beautiful bed sheets in stock as a result of such a budget spending splurge. What's not to like? Well the design of hospital beds changed after the purchase, so none of the sheets can be used, because they do not fit.

@allanpurslow7106 3 года назад

Regarding the NHS, one of the issues is the government of the day changing the NHS Management as this is cheaper than actually investing in the service (known internally as re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic rather than looking where you were going). As an example, during a 24 year period of employment at the local hospital the organisation I worked for changed 6 times while I sat at the same desk. Each time it changed, all the documentation had to be changed to reflect the new logo and/or title (after paying huge consultation fees for the new structure & graphic designing), Director level appointments would change with many of the incumbents moving on to other NHS organisations with compensation. Changes have included the NHS being split into 'purchaser & provider' units so that hospitals could compete against each other, the introduction of Hospital & Community Trusts.. This was to allow local groups to decide what was needed in their area (and the Govt to pass the buck). This led to more bureaucracy such as NICE National Institute for Health & Clinical Excellence to reduce postcode prescribing & treatment availability. As well as the CQC Care Quality Commission introduced to ensure that standards were being met & maintained, This had been glossed over during the splitting of the NHS into smaller & smaller pieces.

Indeed - it is the highlight of the year. This (2020) Christmas I spent Christmas alone for the first time in my life and dug out a artisan Christmas pudding I had bought in 2011. It was BRILLIANT, the extra long time allowed for the fruit to mature made it taste so wonderful.

On a winter's morning, two Weetabix sprinkled with sugar then hot milk poured in the bowl (not over the top of the Weetabix) is a joy to behold. You get the sweet crunch of the sugar and top of the Weetabix, then the warm cosy soft Weetabix underneath. Christmas pudding is vile. So is Christmas cake.

Gregg's is the McDonald's of bakeries: you get exactly the same, okay-quality food, every time. We definitely have a bad relationship with alcohol. Binge drinking, underage drinking, and the idea that a great weekend is one where you have absolutely no memory of it. As for the NHS, it needs more funding, and less people trying to Americanise it. (I can't believe you have so many people saying videos on the royals would be controversial, and yet nothing about the NHS? Perhaps they just think that it is too obvious to be worth mentioning?)
