Most religious reverence will grow up using the nhs from the cradle to the grave for the point of use, and that has tremendous significance for our lives. But today, this eternal source of National Pride is under increased scrutiny with new figures showing more than 120,00 people died last year in england alone from delays in lifesaving treatment. The nhs is a statefunded. Healthcare system founded in 1948, back then it cost around 20 billion dollars in todays money to run. Last year, the government spent more than 181 billion. Despite that, more than 7 Million People are now on the waiting list in england alone. Thats nearly 12 of the population having to wait at least 52 weeks for health consultation. Our politicians arent really serving the public interest, they are serving. Neoliberal agenda, which is to transfer the countrys natural assets and wealth to overseas corporations like United Health of america and other big multinationals. Government has promised to cut the long cues, but has made little progress. The situation is no better in the rest of the kingdom. In scotland and northern ireland, one in 80 people, and in wales, one in 20 are having to wait more than year for treatment. Theres also the energy costs and inflation that has reduced the value of the nhs budget, meaning it now has to do more with significantly less. Add to the mix, a shortage of staff, which means more pressure on exhausted employees. Weve had more than decade of defunding since the financial crash, this has led to a real terms wage cut for staff. The whole population, the health needs have gone up, we have trouble keeping hold of staff, and weve also lost significant capacity with the nhs through privatization, so we dont have enough beds, we dont have enough staff, and the staff we do have are being treated appallingly.
