Can The NHS Be Fixed

NHS Hospitals were built in 1948 for 50 million people – Today in the UK there are 68 million people…

This was the Manchester Children’s Hospital entrance hall – Now the land has been used for a new housing estate.

  • In the 1970s there were 420,000 Beds in the UK
  • In the 1980’s there were 300,000 Beds in the UK
  • In the 2020’s there are 141,000 Beds in the UK

.

THE PROBLEMS:

1.1 NO BEDS:- Nurses, doctors and managers must spend 50% of their day talking about “where to find a bed”

1.2 THE PROBLEM:- BOTTLENECKS – “LACK OF BEDS” and more and more A&E Hospitals are closing down…

1.3 The NHS TREADMILL:- NHS doctors, nurses, managers are just working on a treadmill… Day after day.…

1.4 TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THE NHS HAVE NOT WORKED ANYWHERE ELSE, SO DON’T SEE OPPORTUNITY

1.5 In the NHS there are too many “Middle Managers who just talk”… NO BALLS TO MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN

1.6 Hospitals are JUST 4 WALLS – TOO MANY PEOPLE in one place will just get in each others way…

1.7 People get ill 24 hours per day. 7 days per week – But how many hours do the NHS services run ?
