Woman, 95, left lying on pavement with broken hip for 5 hours as 'not priority'
I bet they’re conservative voters but wonder why the NHS has no funding
Even if they just had two guys and a van, I'd expect it to take under 5 hours. This isn't triage, this is negligence.
Youre equating paramedics and an ambulance with “two guys with a van”?
The problem with NHS is that it is free, therefore, anybody with a cold, or bruised bone seeks services. This lady wasn't dying, so she wasn't priority. It is inefficient to have free services, yet scarce resources to handle those services. The doctors feel like they are underpaid. NHS is like Soviet healthcare. Underpaid, poor services, yet it is free, which is what really matters. To make an inefficient system work, they have to triage everything. Singapore has no such problem with healthcare costs or accessibility.
The NHS worked great for decades. Whenever the Conservatives are elected, they repeatedly reduce funding. Its free at point of use. I pay national insurance every month which funds the NHS. its not funded from the magic money tree
