I believe the NHS must be taken away from political control, not sure what would take the place of the government, maybe a group or forum should oversee the NHS with an ongoing, set, financial contribution being agreed every five years, in advance, no matter who is in power.
Politicians are not the people to run the NHS.
I think we need to get creative with ADDITIONAL funding with tax breaks for regular, and one off, donations directly to the NHS. Companies should be incouraged to contribute to both the NHS and local hospitals and other NHS facilities.
This part is trickier and almost impossible to introduce but people must be responsible for their own health also. I am overweight and constantly watch what I’m eating, I have minor heart problem that isn’t helped by being overweight. So I should take responsibility for getting healthier.
There are a number of obvious health improvements we could make but surely the most obvious one is to stop smoking. The number of people who are treated for smoking related illnesses and continue to smoke is disgraceful.
Do we continue to throw money at people who do this, the answer is yes the same as we will alcoholic’s and drug users etc, but there is no doubt this money could be better spent elsewhere.
