Slimy Wes Streeting unfortunately is typical of Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Angela Raynor, David Lammy. We deseve better. The elderly deserve better.
Elderly are dumped in care homes, many who should not be there, no hope of early release for good behaviour, left to rot, a life sentence, robbed of their life savings, their only ‘crime’ being elderly.
And the age old excuse from Labour, there is no money.
Find the money
wealth tax
revenue tax big tech
carbon tax
We need accountability, not smug slimy politicians like Wes Streeting.
They need to be removed. If not, they will usher in Fascism.
Fascism is spreading across Europe, backed by Elon Musk.
Did you know that over 60% of donations accepted by the Health Secretary come from people and companies linked to private health? That’s a big chunk of the pie…
Beginning of this week, Wes Streeting announced radical reform of the NHS
Community Health Centres
digitisation
prevention
Walk in Centres are a great idea. Remove pressure from local practices and accident and emergency. But that is not what Wes Streeting is talking about. He wants to relocate services out of hospitals. Where will they be located, where will the money come from, who will run them? Public money used to create, then offered to Richard Brandon or US health care companies to run?
Richard Branson was offered the East Coast Mainline. Not a clue how to run a railway. Passengers and staff saw a rapidly deteriorating service.
Physician Associates, the NHS equivalent to PCSOs in the police service.
Internal privation of the NHS has been happening for years. I once was offered physiotherapy, was referred to a hospital. When I walked in, I saw it was run by Virgin. I turned on my heals and walked out. I was then referred to a visiting physiotherapist at my local surgery
More recently, visit your pharmacy. A pharmacist is great for advice on medication, that is their area of expertise, but not for diagnosis of a medical condition.
Prevention yes, but not drugs, then more drugs to tackle the side effects
Weight loss drugs, when stopped, the weight will bounce back, and often overshoots.
Prevention is changes to lifestyle.
Smoking is a major cause of death. Ban smoking outside pubs, bars, restaurants, coffee shops and cafes
Deal with binge drinking bars. One warning then closed, the landlord banned for life.
More than half of the population is overweight or obese. Adults are eating a diet of 60% ultra processed food, for young people and adults 100%. Ultra-processed food has now passed smoking as a leading cause of death and ill health.
We are bombarded with marketing for ultra-processed food. For children it is even worse, colourful packaging, freebie plastic toys (do they still give away freebie plastic toys?). This is not for our health and well being. Ultra-processed food cheap to manufacture, highly profitable.
Treat ultra-processed food as we treat smoking: tax, health warnings, ban on advertising and sponsorship.
Digitisation, smart watches, NHS app. Collection of data, what could possibly go wrong? Who collects the data?
