Health Secretary Wes Streeting: ‘Our NHS Is Broken & I Want To Save It’ | This Morning 

come back in a year and tell me that ,the sheer fact that net zero is back in this country even though we only produce 1 percent of the worlds pollution

​@@rgsnr8702that is not a shocking stat, a population which occupies less than 1% should be producing less than 1%

@@zacurrya9485 you miss the point entirely,and in denial as to Britain global impact and the affect of 8 million extra people arriving here in the last 10 years

@@rgsnr8702 what do you mean about 8 million extra people, and sure maybe your point is go after the big emitters like china or something, but we should change first before we can point fingers, no?

Its nice to see some actual people in charge for once

He's not

Well, we need to give the time to this guy and judge based on the outcomes. We tried to fix NHS with conservatives, and ended up with no fix!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@cowerth8 Well that's that sorted, then. Next.

He’s ship shape with these debates because he took the ship the vessel and made it sea worthy and ship shape ship now. Ahoy

he almost lost his seat lol he barely has support in his own constituency

Fix ? Can stop it getting worse, that’s best outcome here.

That sing and dance is annoying ☹️

Having to call a human being (that's collecting a salary that could be going to more doctors and nurses) to set up an appointment instead of an automated digital system is the problem with the entire UK's bureaucracy.

Tories, labour, Lib Dem etc all the same 😢all talk nothing done! We need more doctors & more nurses etc. better pay working conditions so how will they do This? Mental health now that is something different. Then see your doctor. Labour and tories are no different.

@@coderider3022 🤞🙏🏻

To many managers, a typical example is Matron -Deputy Matron-Ward sister.But in reality you don’t really need a Deputy Matron, instead hire more nurses on the ground to do the job..it’s like to many Generals not enough foot soldiers..

​@@markjoseph196well ideally the managers also do the work in addition to surrounding admin, which is why they're paid more. If it gets to the point they're doing mostly admin and their reports are doing more work then we need to alleviate the admin burden

💯💯💯💯

​@@markjoseph196 already overworked nurses will be overjoyed to hear that according to you, they can also be responsible for managing rotas, beds and budgets, completing a million audits every month, recruiting new staff & working hard to retain the ones they have, organising everyone's training, navigating HR processes, ordering equipment, dealing with complaints.....

Most staff would just say "give us more money" but that wouldn't necessarily make the NHS work any better. We need root-and-branch reform, even if the state decides its better value to outsource to the private sector. Nothing should be sacred. I wish the UK would seriously consider a more european-style hybrid system but in the absence of doing that we need to go radical with the NHS we have.

What money the tories under funded it..that’s was obvious .

Wes Streeting got £175k from donors linked to private health firms. If you mean the same old corruption but now it wears a red tie, then yea, adults are back in charge....

Government cut backs over 20 years under Labour and conservative governments

The problems are not funding they are about wastage and inefficiency.

The funding is all going to the wrong sectors within the NHS, not nearly enough focus on preventative and primary care.

@@enemywithin1295 The main plan I've seen is transferring more resource from hospital to GPS. And improved connectivity between NHS systems and smarter scanners.

@@MaureenOKane-yi5cx No cutbacks under Labour - do your research

Higher wages or nursing bursary? If you had to choose one

@@zacurrya9485 Bursary

it'll clear the backlog somewhat though, won't it. Reform of the NHS can't be instantaneous, but we have empty private clinics with trained medical professionals that could help bring it down.

Can help though.

@@ParaquatSC I don't buy that argument because when Atlee created the NHS he didn't have to outsource to the private sector and he was able to give everyone equal free healthcare. He was able to bring the backlog down in that time without the private sector. Why can't we do it now. In Atlee's time people were healthy and more people were in employment. 90% of the nhs budget is going to the private pockets raher than treating patients. The private sector is ripping off the tax payer and tjat needs to stop. Private means more money needs to be pumped in the nhs and poor outcomes at the same time. For example, why can't hospital buildings be owned by the nhs, why do we have to pay billions and trillions to lease nhs buildings from greedy private providers who are leaching the taxpayers dry.

It’s always been outsourced to the private sector

​​​@@Jamal-Ahmed786 we can't do what Attlee did because the circumstances are way different compared to 1948: -We have an aging population in 2024 with a fertility rate below replacement level compared to 1948 when the population was much younger and the fertility rate was 2.6. Aging population and welfare states don't mix as public services function only if there are more actively working people than economic dependents like elderly people or people with chronic illnesses. This is quite a fundamental problem if want to do any government borrowing because if your tax revenue keeps getting smaller due to a proportionally aging population, any investment quite literally won't pay itself anymore. -NHS is one of the only healthcare systems in the world funded by general taxation, therefore the pay is determined by legally binding fiscal rules to ensure that the State does not increase their deficits to an unsustainable level. In the private sector, the nature of the cashflow is different and healthcare corporation therefore can charge above market rates for services. This is why many NHS staff move to America or Australia as their private healthcare systems offer market salary rates for doctors and nurses. You just can't do that in a publicly owned healthcare system if you exclusively rely on general taxation that is struggling with an aging population. -When the NHS was introduced, it was limited to treating infections and injuries. Nowadays, the technology and the type of operations used in the NHS are much more complex which means that maintenance costs are a lot more as a proportion of GDP than it was in 1948. -In 1948, mental health was not seen as a problem compared to today's standards. This means that further NHS resources are spread out and requires more funding in a way that wasn't required in 1948. Nowadays, people are also diagnosed with multiple comorbidities which further strains NHS resources and this is especially true in an aging population where it is elderly people who consume healthcare services the most.

Because a private company can charge market prices. Goes to show how much clinical staff in the NHS are underpay.

Or perhaps an entire department of educated analysts with real life experience within the NHS AND outsider perspectives, tasked specifically with this task are going to come to other conclusions that its not just some single issue causing the whole issue.

@@ParaquatSC And when Trump got in, I hoped he would employ a lot more savvy & smarter people than him to serve the American people - but I was sorely mistaken - as I will be here as well.

@@PClanner Are you saying Trump and Keir Starmer seem like similar people?

Especially to Israel, as for Ukraine, they are on the right side, and considering the recent attack, that's a sticky situation

@elainesmith2334 the weekly injection. I know what it is because I'm diabetic as well

Well let the rich pay and find a way to protect the poor so they still get free NHS care. Hybrid approach could work. State only approach alone not going to scale as the population grows?

@@PoliticalViews-d8f Labour (Sorry New Tory’s or Tory lite party) will not tax the rich or business The water companies paid dividends to the shareholders of millions prior to the election so they could claim poverty despite dumping sewage for years. Labour just put up everyone’s water bills by 44 percent The NHS DID work upto the 70-80’s Minimal queues and efficient then the Tory’s stated to undermine it Starmer just brought in a team with the knowledge of running privatised service for the NHS and DWP

I dont see how that could work for a 24 hour service. Who covers the rota gaps?

This is why you want relatable people like me and you running the country. Not fake and robotic, avoiding questions

Their funding model is published, you can look it up. He did touch on it, anyway. He explained how getting patients in early and administering cheaper preventative care reduces additional costs to the NHS later down the line.

@@colingarner6175 They’re all the same. Where will they get the money from? Like tories more tax.

@@andrewcollins8774 they already have plans, one of their ways of income is a national energy company, re nationalise the trains etc, which is income we lost under thatcher, inheritance tax on those which have had a property increase 5 fold etc, they are finding ways to get more income without taxing people anymore. They are also funding things on cracking down on tax avoidance etc.

Yes it is a mandate, it's a large mandate within our electoral system. That's just counting.

Still the largest vote share out of all the parties.

People voted tactically.

Ah I see you just parroting "the line". Not even your own thought. Well I would say the papers for 5 solid weeks said "this is a Labour government at this rate" and a lot of people decided this was absolutely fine by them and as such stayed home as they felt it was a done deal. We would have seen higher voter turnout of the media narrative was "it's going to be a really close race, it could be anyone's game"

It is what it is. Watch them, monitor the statistics of the issues you care about, and see if you are happy with the result come the next election. If you like what you see you know who you should vote for.

they literally are improving our border security to prevent people coming in.

Non Uk citizens can’t use the NHS freely anyway? Educate yourself.

@@aman8086 That’s odd. My Brother is a GP and says he is obliged to see asylum seekers and obviously refers them on should they need it. Does the ER turn them away either? Of course not so they will head there. Plus, if you’ve you’ve just been granted citizenship why should you have the same access as someone that has contributed for years/decades. New arrivals should pay for an insurance policy until they’ve paid tax for a given term. And before you say they have nothing then I suppose you’ve closed your ears to the fact they pay thousands to traffickers. You seem a bit naive. That are jumping the queue in both welfare, housing and healthcare.

Very good question. I wouldn’t be surprised if fewer than half the adult population living in the UK pay any or enough tax to pay their share of the total NHS bill.

800 out of 1.7 million

@@melissareohorn7436 - 800 less would allow £40 million to be spent elsewhere where it is needed.

Can you provide some evidence of this (don’t include the The Daily Mail as Wikipedia won’t use the as a reliable source)

@@davidpearson243 👏👏👏👍. I doubt if they know what it means😀

@@Kari_B61ex According to your calculations 800 staff out 1.5m staff are DEI ie 0.05% of the workforce at £40m cost. That £800k per post. I don’t think so🤦🏻‍♀️

Already seen a disaster.

The Starmer disaster

@@TyanaAlexandra Oh my god give yourself a clap you found two words that rhyme. That is a really good job buddy!

Do you not the impression this bloke genuinely has the health of the NHS in mind? I can’t remember a single Tory politician that gave me this impression, and I really get the sense that this is a genuine turning point, for the better, in this country’s history.

@@ImElliottWolfe no I don’t Everyone has good intentions but they like this guy promise success when the NHS is a money pit that never improves. I’d quite appreciate someone that was honest and told us how dire the situation is and will be. But to answer your question, no this guy doesn’t seem like he knows what he’s doing.

We've had the tories in for 14 years. Last time Labour were in the NHS was working fine.

"All talk." Labour has been in office for 6 days, what do you want exactly?

@@davecross4493 In Feb 2004 I went to my GP, I saw a consultant in April who told me I need an operation, the op. was done in July, all done and dusted in just six months.

And the Tories weren't?

@_Gecko111 I said it ALL didn't I???

Well get your ‘Brits’ to apply for the 1000s of vacancies that have been available for YEARS. They’ve always been there. So why aren’t they applying🤔

what a childish thing to say...
