I'm sure you are aware it is a complex make up(NHS) but has been allowed to decline over the years,
I have a number of views about the NHS of course there are the positives and negatives to it all.
So let me just give you a brief insight to my views9so as not to bore everyone lol)
Over years the NHS has been allowed to become top heavy with managers, and less coal face workers,
Good workers who have dedicated there lives working for the NHS have been allowed to leave(I have first hand knowledge of this) and new systems introduced where someone with little experience (new american style of nursing) can order about/dictate to, someone with say 15 years or more dedicated service, so these people left.
This then moved towards less dedicated staff(in some areas) over burdened with over paid managers, making little difference to the NHS(apart from helping it's decline)
Bring back the matron who has control of the hospital, having had first hand experience of this in years gone by, it worked, the buck stopped at the matron, and she was the one people an answered to.
On the catering side, private catering hasn't worked, and should be withdrawn and done inhouse by staff who know
what's best for the patients.
I'v given before on other threads how bad these private caterers are.
Then we have the bigger issues of, what services, where.
Not every hospital can have every facility but thats a bigger education programme over time.
So theres a few snippets
