Can't speak highly enough of all the medical staff at Castle Hill. They couldn't do enough for me when I had a heart episode back in 2018. You might have to wait for hours when you go to A&E, but when the chips are down, the NHS staff are faultless in my experience.
The care system isn’t broken It’s just seriously under funded by successive governments And it’s a vote loser to whichever one says they’re going to spend what needs to be spent on it as far too many British people are terrified of the thought some might get something for nothing It’s coming to a tipping point soon in this country as everything is stripped bare and underfunded The main stream parties are useless and farage is only going to help big business too so **** knows what is going to happen
I’ve just listened to a podcast about the 1945 election. What would this country give to have leaders in the mold of Attlee, Bevin, Bevan et al today? I’ll add Churchill to that list anarl for balance.
Passing the buck to councils. Services that are becoming more expensive whilst cutting council funding. Social and health care needs to be under one umbrella, funded by central government. IMO
Since the end of the post war consensus through successive blue and red governments we’ve had decades of neoliberalism – financial logic over human need – all pervasive and endemic hard to distinguish from so called ‘common sense’.
My mum had a stroke three weeks ago in Brid and ended up being blue lighted through to HRI. She bypassed A and E and went straight to the Acute Stroke unit on the 11 th floor. The care she received was phenomenal and I would put it up there with anything I have seen in the states. Best part she won’t be receiving bills for the next 12 months related to the stay.
Couldn't agree more about Ward 110. The care they gave my Dad in his final hours, even though there was no chance of him surviving, was humbling. The support we got was brilliant as well.
