Kezo I’m not a Labour supporter despite what people think. I was no great lover of Blair and we are still paying through the teeth for his “private finance initiative” programme. But he did make sure the NHS was better funded.
I’m in work and just spoke to one of the Paramedics who started this morning 6.00 am and has not been able to do any red calls as he’s been stuck outside the local hospital unable to unload his patient.
Thats because of austerity, not only the NHS has been underfunded the local authorities have also had their funding drastically reduced. They have been forced to sell many of their care homes and drastically degraded other elements of Social care. The knock on effect of austerity is the collapse of Social Care which in turn impacts the NHS negatively.
Many Tories want to privatise the NHS which is why as mentioned they voted down legislation protecting it from privatisation. The NHS is not safe with the tories.
