3: A PROPERLY FUNDED & EQUIPPED NHS :
An NHS managed by senior doctors and nurses and funded for health care and prevention and not massive salaries of Health Authority directors .
We are committed to a free NHS. We have an ‘upside down’ health service with far too many ‘chiefs’ and not enough ‘indians’. The NHS has lost its ideals and is now in many cases a cash cow ‘jobs for the boys’ organisation. Why should someone with no health care experience receive £400 for sitting on a panel conducting interviews just for a few hours? That money needs spending on health care! We need to end this and go back to what it is all about, providing health care and prevention. This means senior doctors and nurses managing the NHS that have knowledge of the local area and not directors without any knowledge of health care beyond paying subscriptions for private treatment! A National Health Service managed locally is the best way forward.
Future lottery funding directed towards the NHS. Strictly no privatisation. Remove outside contractors and carry out routine tasks in-house.
The NHS is a vital service and to provide the best possible service it needs financial support. We have a National Lottery which can provide money for the NHS allowing it to rid itself of privatisation and outside contractors.
