Ten-minute appointments: It’s not surprising patients have unfinished business with their GP

Ten-minute appointments: It’s not surprising patients have unfinished business with their GP (msn.com)

 

I disagree with this author.

I don’t think Labour MP and cabinet Minister Health Secretary Wes Streeting’s “pledge ledge to divert billions of pounds from hospitals to GPs to “fix the front door to the NHS” “are signs of hope at least”.

Especially not as the author says this earlier on in the article “GPs are robbing Peter to pay Paul by inadvertently passing the problem on to other, equally overburdened parts of the NHS.”

So the author of this article clearly understands the problem of a scarcity of public resources due to political parties policies and the detrimental impacts of this practice on healthcare, but yet later in the very same article chooses to refer to just such a function of artificial competition and austerity rather positively. For some reason…


Also referring in the same section to Streeting
“promising that millions of patients will be able to see the same family doctor at every appointment.” Is he also gonna “rob”? in-order to source these fit and healthy ready and willing GP’s so as to replace the short fall created by years of under training under recruiting and under resourcing including lack of investment in infection control equipment and implementation leading to massive staff losses accelerated under this pandemic? How will he stop the flow of medical professionals abroad in search of better working and living conditions and pay?

 

Yep it feels like certain people who always have their hands out whenever anyone new comes along pretending it wasn’t them last time and the time before ALWAYS use the switch and bait tactic

the problems they caused are what they spell out and then each time non sequitur their sane tired agenda

and each time it feel the purse holders fall fir thinking that means that must be the solution AGAIN

not realising it’s ’more Of the same’ being sold?
