Public satisfaction with the NHS is at the lowest level ever recorded, partly due to the problems in getting a GP appointment and long waits for hospital treatment.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
In the latest British Social Attitudes survey of people in England, Wales and Scotland, just 24 per cent said they were satisfied with the NHS in 2023, down five per cent on the year before.
In response, the UK government said it's increased NHS funding to pay for more doctors and nurses.

Try this instead for a headline , “is the public losing faith in this government and its attitude to the NHS”
This sounds more accurate
Ch4 following government script.
@@jackspring7709I don't think they are. I more often come across people on the right criticising Channel 4 for being woke. My personal opinion is that the Tories are quite content for people to be dissatisfied with the NHS. If by some freak of nature they get into power after the next general election I am sure they would use these levels of dissatisfaction as an excuse for privatisation. Another Tory government would see the end to our Health Service.
@@LususSaule They are: they are just being sneaky and "clever" about it.
@@LususSaulebased on everything Wes Streeting keeps saying, I don't think it's safe in labour's hands either.
I have a lot of faith in the NHS and none in the Tories
The British public knowingly voted for Tory destruction of the NHS in favour of tax cuts for the last 14 years now isn't happy with the NHS? You get the government you deserve and you get the NHS you deserve mate.
@@Kwippy that’s nonsense we have the highest taxation in 70 yrs.
Don’t spin low satisfaction as a desire to see it privatised. It’s a desire to get the Tories out!
I loathe the Tories, however it was Labour who began mass privatisation with PFI schemes, the Tories wrote off the debt and thirdly you need to research who is donating to Labours Wes Streeting if you are worried about NHS Privatisation
@@samhodgins9804 Nice deflection. You can literally see the decline during Tory leadership black on white... or rather Red vs Blue
OK I've wasted time researching, come up with nothing, what is it I'm supposed to be looking for? Or you don't know yourself and are just trolling 😔😔😔.
@@CliffUK49 It's true that under Tories they intentionally gutted NHS while having no qualms about making/keeping the rich richer. Even in this video at 02:29 the presenter shows the graph showing NHS satisfaction under Labour vs Tories.
If I walk around any local town centre during the daytime I witness the decrepit state of the UK population after 75 - 80 years of the NHS. Disablitity carts and walking aids everywhere and increasingly in people younger than my 70 years, people who have to lean on the trolleys as they do their shopping or the mentally and physically disabled with their mainly immigrant carers - because demand is outstripping supply of locals to do such jobs. I suspect most are poisoned by pharmaceuticals (statins or more recent clinical trial drugs) and have certainly witnessed friends and relatives put on one pill after another through to the inevitable conclusion. There is little profit to be made from good health but fortunes to be made from pain and misery.
#GeneralElectionNow
Sunak needs to go !
NOT because of the NHS but he is USELESS
Have to go
@@trevorhart545 agreed theres definitely alot more to it. Front line staff are excellent... we need more of them instead of paying money for equality departments etc. People should be in the job for how good they are not because they have to meet diversity levels. I could go on. Lol such a shame the whole situation. No matter who gets in our debt to gdp is getting so high this is why we are seeing services cut rates going up and the system slowly falling apart.:(
The Tories would love us to lose faith.. almost as if part of the plan to privatise the whole thing.. keep the faith we Brits will never have anything but free (through taxes) health care.
Did Blair not start the PFI
That's true - but bear in mind Labour also want it privatised for those lucrative contracts for their friends. labour and the Tories have deserted their base - both of them now work for lobbyists and corporations.
Agreed
It's quite sad that you don't understand that Blair partially privatised the NHS over 25 years ago. 😕
@@ian0143 Exactly. The rot began there.
In the last week a family member became very ill, it had been brewing for a while. Feeling bad enough to go to ER, they were treated & hospitalised for almost a week with tests & scans galore. I saw them over the last couple of days & they are rapidly improving. I know there are difficulties but the NHS came through for us big time & I will always be grateful ❤
It didn't 😮
Exactly. The NHS is being deliberately demonised because the political class and their friends are desperate to get into the lucrative "healthcare" business using NHS assets. A huge amount goes into paying middle managers who are doing everything they can to undermine it for that purpose. The NHS is great. The only people that demonise it are those who want to get their hands on it and their minions in the media who are acting like PR officers for them.
I cannot fault the service I received recently from seeing my gp to having an ultrasound a gastroscopy with biopsy and ct scan was 3 weeks and I was treated very well however i appreciate I wasn't an inpatient or waiting for surgery so I can't comment about that
You don't need to be grateful per se. It is a service you are entitled to and have paid for.
@@hazelpollittside6344 my wait was 1.5 years with an urgent referral
The Tories are to blame!!!
The tories and labour have been undermining the NHS. Blair and Brown brought in PFI.
The British public knowingly voted for Tory destruction of the NHS in favour of tax cuts for the last 14 years now isn't happy with the NHS? You get the government you deserve and you get the NHS you deserve mate.
they promised the NHS was safe in their hands? I knew they had a secret plan to sell the NHS to the Americans. but the tory useful idiots had no idea. they wearn't to know the increases in funding claimed by the tories actually came from hospital repair upgrade funds?
So, the decades long goal of the Tories, is finally almost with us. Satisfaction in the toilet, now to get us all crying out for U.S style "healthcare". This was literally their stated plan.
100% true. Tories are despicable! They will never know what it's like being poor, that's why they have no empathy for the poor who will be gravely affected by the decline of the NHS.
Yes. I read their report co-written by the Cato institute and that was years ago. Given that their visits stateside usually result in things like voter ID because they copy things coming from the republicans I see privatisation is seeping in.
100%

@@Kwippy Except the Tories commonly don't get the majority of votes, the media have been complicit in the disinformation campaign and even if Tories do win a majority of votes, you're pointing in the faces of those who vote and campaign against the Tories and the privatization of the NHS and claiming we deserve it because others voted for it. Your logic is laughable.
Watching from Japan with nearly double the population of the UK, and many more elderly. Where you can see a specialist (not a G.P.) from the get-go and have urine & blood tests, X-rays & scans, + full consultation at your first appointment. Compulsory health insurance for all (patients end up paying between 10% - 30%, depending on income) and no staff shortages or waiting lists to speak of. If the British NHS really ever was, "the envy of the world" then how come nobody else has copied it?
Fallacious thinking.
I am watching this as a foreigner & shock. This is more expected in a Third World country . I am very surprise too see the UK health care system in such disarray .
The very same public that knowingly voted for Tory destruction of the NHS in favour of tax cuts for the last 14 years isn't happy with the NHS? You get the government you deserve and you get the NHS you deserve mate.
Damn right! People like to solely blame the Government but forget who generally voted them in with clear pledges to not keep up funding.
Waiting lists are atrocious. Some doctors are EXTREMELY RUDE!!!! lost faith and trust long ago.
Hospital Waiting lists started to rise after the Tory reforms of 2012. They tried to fix what wasn’t broken and made it worse.
NO,we knew the Tories would try to destroy it,from Thatcher,Lansley,Cameron,Osbourne,May,Oh and especially 350m a week and 400 NEW hospitals Bozo Johnson,so in that respect,mission accomplished,Champers all round ay chaps? 🤬🤬🤬🤬

I didn’t vote for them it doesn’t matter who you vote for they all the same. It’s badly run the NHS. CEO’s waste money too many managers on high wages who do nothing but go to meetings all day then they demand a PA… The NHS is being abused by the people in charge and we have to many people coming over and abusing our free healthcare our gov doesn’t chase up invoices and they get free healthcare. The NHS spends Millions on interpreters every year and have done for 20+ years independent public audits should be made we’re all the funding and how it’s been spent… There is a lot of things wrong with NHS which is a shame on all the hardworking members of staff who care. Morale is very low and people feel unappreciated and overworked. All they care about is meeting targets.
Seriously, the NHS it’s worse than a joke, my mother in law has heart failure, the specialist says she needs an operation now or if left until later the outcome will be far worse , so as months go by waiting for an expensive operation it will not be affective when it finally happens and thus waste tax payers money and have a disastrous outcome for my mother in law. Where’s the sense in that????…🤔🤔🤔🤔😳😳🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
It won’t be any better under Labour - look at their record in Wales, plus they are going to stick to the current governments spending plans.
Where do they get extra money from then? The tories have already put us into debt up to our eyeballs, and on what? Their little old school chums have put it in their offshore accounts.
2:58
NHS and public services are overwhelmed and we keep letting random people in and cutting funding. hmmmm
That's the tory plan. Run down the system so much that people complain and want changes and you can introduce a privatised service.
My friend has waited about 6 months for a knee replacement but it was put back slightly because of another injury. So, possibly depends where you are. My husband’s gp, however, refused to refer him to a surgeon for a hernia operation and it was a 6 month wait once referred. Not acceptable but I don’t blame the nhs, I blame the tories for reducing the staffing levels (by doing things such as eradicating free tuition for nurses), not paying enough, privatising some parts of it and giving billions to their buddies instead of the nhs for services needed.
Hope your husband gets the treatment he needs sooner, rather than later. I know how stressful it feels. My mother dealt with the a serious hernia for YEARS - and it wasn't her first. The only way she got the operation was by it *strangulating and nearly killing her* They're so pushed for... basically everything, I suppose Emergency services are the first place the money goes. Which is frustrating, because I'm pretty sure those issues would cost the NHS far less money if they treated them while they were a small problems instead of waiting for them to explode... in some cases, literally.
How come the headlines never read, "Public satisfaction with the government's handling of the NHS is at an all-time low"?
My husband suffered for more than ten years and the NHS made all manner of excuses not to give him a knee replacement. Apart from the intense pain his knee would buckle and he fell so many times hurting his head,fracturing his knee cap, breaking ribs, injuring his hands and finally fracturing his hip. In the end we had to fund private surgery for a knee replacement and hip replacement. After all the years of agony and neglect the NHS let him down and he suffered a brutal terrifying death at the hands of unqualified and uncaring hospital staff.
Sorry to hear this is happening more often. My Daughter had her knee replacement surgery in her 30’s it was a complete disaster her consultant was drunk at the time all covered up.. Damaged her main nerves in her body. They close ranks. She’s in her 50’s now and completely house bound. She falls over all the time. She had so many botch knee surgeries. She wish she never of gone to the first Surgeon..
What has happened to your daughter is awfu.l Please, what are you doing about it ,there are so many cover ups and many feel too distressed to fight back but there are law firms that act on a no fee basis. Please do not give up. I am so sorry your dear girl continues to suffer so much@@saoirse6872
Not “losing”, lost! We already lost trust ages ago. And it’s not about trust. We know it’s not working. We know it’s severely underfunded and you can be happy if you don’t die waiting for an ambulance, if - god forbid - anything were to ever happen to you! And if I may add, do a report on how many EU citizens have left the UK over the past few years. It’s record levels. I’m leaving to. We’re leaving the sinking ship. There’s no healthcare here! I need healthcare.
People are not diillusioned with the NHS, but getting to the treatment. It seems once you are accepted for serious treatment, and assessment there is a disconnect between acceptance, and treatment. There becomes a no man's land of waiting, and no contact.
Nurse of 30 years and i cannot begin to say how sad it has become, hanging on by a thread and not feeling cared about, thinking of you all xx
Thinking of you too
Don't let your politician's sell the NHS to private firms as it'll get much more expensive/US citizen
It doesn't matter who is in power or how much money is spent on the NHS. It is broken and needs massive reorganisation.
I mean... money going into the places that need it WOULD help. Like, I don't disagree with you, let me be clear, this very much needs massive restructuring. But money would at least do SOMETHING.
That graph proves that it DOES matter who is in government. Under Labour NHS satisfaction reached an all time high, then in 2010 when the Tories were elected satisfaction declined again and kept declining towards it's lowest point this year. I agree that the NHS needs to change and improve, but that can only be done with a Labour government, that much is quite clear.
All that needs to happen is the bloated management needs to be downsized and those in there deliberately undermining it in an attempt to privatise it for their friends need to be sacked and charged where necessary. The NHS is fine when its not being robbed and interfered with. This is all being done on purpose to make it vulnerable to privatisation.
Labour Government....oh God help us...Tory and Labour Morons...
The NHS was world leading from 1997-2009 wonder what happened to change that
The answers are simple to solving this crisis: Close the BBC down. All funding allocated to the BBC should divert to the NHS. Reform the system entirely, making patient healthcare top priority. Sack the management team and install a new management structure. Phase out older GP's and train up the younger generation. Introduce a wealth tax and have a portion of those funds be directed to essential services like mental health, childcare, dentistry and cancer treatments. Increase pay and insentivise new staff with a £1000 bonus to join.
Yes - and also get rid of the layers of management which have been deliberately undermining the NHS in an effort to get it privatised for their parasite friends.
Its deteriorating. Gp visits limited . A phone call instead! No consistency, no face to face. DIY SERVICE. I HAD A MAJOR OP AND I complained in writing. 11 of the complaints I made were upheld by email and in writing. Times given a telephone ☎️ appt time , only to be waiting for hours and walk around with your mobile phone at work!...I work in a large school and with the implematation of not having your mobile phone visible nor in use JUST DOES NOT WORK WHICH LEADS TO ANXIETY, STRESS AND FRUSTRATION BECAUSE YOU MISSED THE CALL!!!!! WHAT A MESS. EQUALLY MY STAY IN HOSPITAL WASNT OF GOOD STANDARD NOR WAS THE PRACTICE OF MANY OF THE NURSES ....NOT ALL, BUT MANY DIDNT HAVE THE PROFESSIONSLISM NOR DID THEY SHOW THE CARE AND COMPASDION, THE FUNDAMENTALS OF BEING IN THE NURSING PROFESSION!😢😢😢😢
Public satisfaction may be at an all time low. Like to add that support for the concept of the NHS is still very high
What do you expect the Tories have running it into the ground as the tories want all on private heath it started when they got in a total disgrace
We are losing faith in the government that under resourcing the NHS. NHS care itself is brilliant but short of supply
"That's the standard technique of privatization: defund, make sure things don't work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital." Noam Chomsky
On top of that they want to give more power to unqualified people like PA to treat patients as well instead of hiring junior doctors. What's going on !!!!!!!
Privatisation, cheaper work force and for more mistakes to happen so it looks like it's failing. Watch dr bob gill and you'll find out and the great nhs hiest.
I have no faith left, even if you have an emergency they are grossly incompetent.
Losing faith or do you mean lost faith?
STEP 1: Defund on purpose to make it terrible. STEP 2: Keep it so terrible for so long that people will welcome privitisation and healthcare debts for life. STEP 3: Profit! (literally).
Problem is medical need is open ended. Making a list of items to cover and not cover, then concentrating treatment on those in most need, like the young, and elderly will make best use of resources. I know people who call ambulances just to make political points. This costs well over £1000 a pop. Abuse of the system by those who can afford to pay causes pain for everyone else.
I no longer trust medical professionals.
100%
I no longer trust when they say you can talk to a medical professional , that they are. They make as much sense as the janitor..
Don’t use them then. It’ll take the pressure off the NHS for those that still do😄
@@vinceely2906 Maybe I'll get a lifetime refund from you Vince, because I'm reducing the massive queue.
Fallen into the hands of the tories
You can tell what they think of the patients when their car park is closer to the hospital by miles.
Maybe the title shd be 'how the people incharge of the nhs' rather than the nhs itself. The nhs is amazing, the equipment and people are amazing. However the people in charge of OUR NHS at the moment dont want it to work. They want a American style health system where insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies own the health system as that's where their own personal profit are and their families, friends and donors etc profits lie. How much of the nhs is already private?? How many private contracts are required and paid for through the NHS? Soon they'll drop the 'N' and it will just be known as HS. Imagine a world where it was us 99% against the 1% corrupt elite rather than the other way around.
Let's not use this as an excuse to privatise!....well privatise more....let's use it as a reason to fix it....tax the ultra wealthy thatd sort it out!
That would raise almost no money. Charging for ambulance call outs would save a fortune. A genuine callout would be free. People who mess about making hoax or time wasting calls hit them with £1000 to £1500 a go. Lives are lost by stupid calls by people who are not ill.
Why you speaking with the Education Secretary on the Health Service. Where's the Health Secretary?
Had my mum and sister been diagnosed with cancer at very late stages despite going to the GP and hospital on multiple occasions. I insured my family and I know that's what the government wants us all to do. But after losing two family members, I don't think we had many choices. As a Muslim, I believe life and death are in the hands of God only. However, we can expect better services from our health service?
It’s all because Sunak not good handling this situations changing visa rules, changing childcare rules, what else soon? Lots of Indian people keep coming here but the English people are not get the right treatment life is unfair 😢
When I'm still waiting for my emergency referral for an ultra sound scan two weeks later, I can say I am not satisfied with the NHS. The Drs and GPs work so hard, but more needs to be done to get the NHS to a standard that doesn't make people wait weeks and months for care.
Thanks to the party in charge for the last 14 yrs.
Go to any A and E and you'll see why the NHS is on its knees! Durka, durka!!!
Cathy Newman:shame on you
Its not just a dissatisfied public. There's no shortage of unhappy nurses and doctors too. My sister is a retired nurse. She has enough bad inside stories to fill a book!
What a mess. Not from the UK. What is a junior doctor?
On the 5th of July 1948, I bought a house. It was great - I raised my family there. But I decided that I wasn't going to maintain it. When things started falling apart, I just papered over the cracks. It is falling apart now, so I am going to abandon it. I will rent a house instead. It is a good plan that makes perfect financial sense.
The NHS needs private insurance funding, look to Australia, Germany etc etc etc for a solution which fits today, not the 1950s. This is not a partisan topic, it needs a longer term vision which is sustainable. The NHS is failing, not the staff within in.
Insurance companies are not in the business of losing money. Not many would get involved willingly without cast iron guarantees from the government
@@alanc457 perhaps. Currently, I would opt for a 5%-8% guarantee for the operators than the extraordinary waste of money and inefficiency in its current form. (We also need to concede that much of the NHS is already privatised, with individuals and companies making significantly more than 8%). We need honesty and transparency, and that won't be provided by a government minister who is gunning for election or promotion. As a consumer, I want options, I don't just want to shop at the NHS because it's the only option. I now live in Australia and if I don't like my provider, I move, whilst also have the safety net of a public health system. For decades, in the UK, we have just blindly tolerated an aging system and allowed corruption and inefficiency to punish the patients and the staff.
Same goes for Police, i would assume gov at large. Corruption & politics get in the way of serving public
Yes the NHS simply cannot keep up with supply and demand and some people including myself are locked out of the US using the NHS all even despite the fact that we live in the United Kingdom we’re citizens of the United Kingdom. I’ve lived here for 32 years and I don’t have access to NHS healthcare at all. I have no choice but to use private healthcare I have to either use private Clinics or hospitals and see private doctors or go to hybrid public, private hospitals and clinics and get some sort of insurance to meet the NHS doesn’t actually exist anymore
No to lockdowns and vaccine mandates.
AUSTRALIA HEALTH SYSTEM IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE CHINESE FUNDING
3 ladies who lost full term babies , in one case both lives were lost , leaving a young family behind ,others were sent home to wait for their turn to be called in as and when? baby already died over a week waiting to be delivered at a later date ? When is it the right time to deliver a dead baby ? coupled with extreme emotional trauma , lack of understanding from the medics to what the patient is going through? If the baby is not delivered in time ? there is a huge risk of infection and a danger to mothers life
All trust has been lost, you speak up and vent your frustration or views you are then branded an aggressive…?! Well you would be frustrated if you like me have had to wait since 2018 for an operation. Dear Consultant, I’ve not yet been able to source a rich relative for my operation so yes I’m still waiting 🤬🤬🤬🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Doctors must ONLY allowed to administer or prescribe NORMAL potable substances.
Faith lost in NHS no, the Government yes.
Love how they are so desperately trying to shut it down by sabotaging it and attacking people’s weaknesses after holding their healths hostage.
The NHS needs more investment, but it also needs a complete restructure. Anyone who's worked in the NHS or knows someone who has will tell you the amount of middle management roles as well as support staff who aren't worth their salary is causing the service to haemorrhage money.
There is only 1 party to blame😊

Well who would have thought that low-wage imported labour with fake qualifications would make a service worse?!!? I'm sure more consultants being hired will help, along with more red-tape to help everything get filed well instead of a paediatrics wing or somesuch frippery! given the truly stellar standards of care the NHS has provided, I'm sure any population increase will be no burden whatsoever on it's no doubt streamlined and efficient organisation, and if all else fails we can all clap our hands to some nurses taking well-earned time off to perfom some kind of wonderous dance on a video-sharing site.
Not fit for purpose.

Tax the rich already!
Yes
Similar to that in trust in the MSM
What? Better than SNP Scotland? They are lying with their statistics. Scottish NHS is sooooo much better.
Tories have ruined NHS though not just that
We need to strip it all back ,and start treating it as a business ,and then start with a massive down size in management , all contracts to be reassessed , stop having to pay millions of pounds for translating everything into 7 different languages and anyone using the nhs has to read ,write speak English , they also for first ten years ,cant be treated without payment first ,and they have to pay taxes ,no social housing ,no dental, prescriptions, etc all must be paid for first ....first ten years all entries permits are a temporary basis , can only apply if over 30,000 in savings , prove relationship with a uk national and have housing provided by them ,with a verified job contract, must be permanently employed, no legal aid ,no benefits or housing benefits and council tax , and anybody commits a crime has their entry cancelled and they deported back to France and given a lifetime ban from entering the UK again
A friend spent 11 days in hospital slowly having tests. Then one leg turned blue with obvious circulatory issues. The NHS hospital then scanned the pink, non compromised leg but did not notice their mistake until said friend pointed it out to a doctor. Outside of London the NHS is not fit for purpose with basic mistakes being made.
any other tales of things that never happened?
Forgot to mention Covid and the effect that has had on people

Although shocking we (the public) would be well advised not to read too much into the actual numbers. What we should be en garde about is the remedial action proposed. The real threat here is the extent to which NHS Medicine, GP and Hospital Care begins to reflect NHS Dentistry. NHS Dentistry is supposed to offer all citizens access to a dentist but in reality only children, the elderly and pregnant women receive timely treatment. Those between 18 and 65 and working have to fend for themselves, quite literally. This means opting for private care or extracting teeth yourself! Private care means funding appointments and treatment out of your own pocket or buying an insurance policy that will pay for some treatment annually. The implications are clear. Knowing that NHS Dentistry has pushed many to seek private care and insurance the rotten state of NHS Medicine would imply that the time is right to do similar. The big question is how citizens will react to having to pay twice for the NHS; once through taxation and then upfront at point of use. Be clear, this is where we are heading. [Edit: To understand if this is likely look at the roads, where drivers pay tax via fuel, vehicle excise duty and now Congestion Charging and ULEZ too.] Post the election it is almost a certainty that a fee of £25 to see a doctor will be implemented. This is already established practice when seeing a private GP, say via BUPA. As with dental a basic insurance policy to cover routine GP appointments can be foreseen. The next step is asking patients to pay a proportion of the cost for routine care, say for a hernia operation. As a country there seems very few aspects of public life that are not failing the population. It is not fair to blame the NHS, it is government policy that has failed spectacularly.
All good things that will help get the service back on track.
Let us hope
Doctors look like office workers 😂😂😂😂😂😂on Ward
Yep
Third world service , makes me angry.
Lockdown backlog locks up logjam!
I've had 2 different unrelated cancers since 2019, I couldn't praise the NHS enough, my treatment from the surgeons, doctors & nurses has been marvellous, stop slagging off this wonderful institution, if anyone thinks it would be a better service under a Labour government, they are mistaken.
Doctors surgeries today are terrible waiting 20 mins to get through then to tell them what the problem is and to get told by the doctor what do you want me to do for you
Do you want to go back to the 1960’s? Get there before 9:am, get put in a room with 100 other sick people….and stay there until the room is empty?
@@johnrussell3961 prefer to see a doctor have been ill for 7 months still not seen one face t O face.
The problem is that millions of people have immigrated to the UK. All these people are trying to access the same hospital and medical facilities as there were before this influx. No great building spree of facilities has occurred. The reason for the problems is obvious, unless you are a British politician that is.
You mean the problem is the billions being given to Ukraine and the intentional lack of funding of the NHS in order to run it into the ground to make way for privatisation.
This is an exact reason why private healthcare is better. However, you will pay much more.
so what happens if you can't afford private healthcare? die?
@@tysonmilly haha, no. You won’t die. You can’t be refused emergency care simply because you aren’t able to pay.

It’s the Tory governments fault not the NHS. Your feature seems like a Tory election angle. People struggle to provide all the services they can. Election NOW.
NHS lost my respect when they ignored with the science and started pushing the covid scare stories. Has never recovered from that.
100%
It is the Doctors that have dragged down the NHS. Over 20 years ago Medics received almost a 100% Pay Rise which INCLUDED Catch Up and MORE Importantly the GRADES of PAY were set up by the BMA. IF Junior Doctors are not happy the CAUSE/BLAME is the BMA not the Government or NHS. Junior Doctor strikes are pathetic, their fight is with the BMA. IF they want more money then the senior medics must take a pay cut NOT the rest of the NHS. The REFERENCE point that they refer to is just a few years after the DOUBLING OF PAY. This is GREED.
Inflatuin since 2010 has been 23%.
Just needs to be funded, instead of Tory cuts.
IT IS FUNDED but Junior Doctor Greed is destroying everything.
@@trevorhart545 NO ONE gets into thousands of pounds in medical debt to become a doctor for the money. Most doctors are very genuine and dedicate themselves to provide for sick people. With that being said, you should be paid a competitive wage though. People would choose a different job is it was just for the money.
It might help NHS investment if Sunak stopped gifting unaccountable billions of taxpayers money to his bromance chum Zelensky.
NHS is ridiculous... I have been suffering for four weeks with my ears, and I got an appointment on 15th May (?!). No x-ray, no CT or MRI. I have terrible pain, and a totally blocked, congested ear, I am continuously dizzying, and nobody cares... I was at the A&E two times, at the GP one time and called the 111. It probably should do a ten-minute intervention, but two months will be too late, and I probably will get permanent hearing loss. Good business for the hearing aids factories.
Free Palestine now.
No they should charge for it as anyone else.
