Government and NHS Bosses waiting list plan has been released…
It is a sad read. Full of flowery language and an absence of substance.
You don’t even have to read between the lines to see what’s happening…

To me it looks like: segregate elective care from urgent care and send the “easier” more profitable patients to the private sector and let NHS urgent care spiral.
The “hubs” are simply easier chunks for private take over. And effectively using public funds as start up capital.

The critical public need is in primary care and urgent care. This is where the majority of all disease is detected and managed.
But as we witness the biggest exodus of staff since records began, there is nothing for staff retention and no commitment to improve working conditions

The cursory sentence…
“We will make a more permanent contribution to the workforce if we can retain nurses by providing a positive experience and appropriate professional and pastoral support”
Is about as useless as a chocolate teapot and just offensive.

They talk of making innovations and current systems to work more efficiently, but they have no idea how to do this.
They talk about prioritising urgent cases. Not really sure what they think we do everyday under a severely rationed health system.

The tech solutions may well be profitable for the industry but without the staff to deliver the actual care, it’s just another system to log into that costs billions.
We need staff for wound care, rehab, and clinical care NOT not more tech to tell us how far behind we are!

As much as I know it will hurt Johnson/Sajid/Sunak, if they are serious about keeping society open during Covid and reducing the death and disability of extreme healthcare rationing, they have to treat the NHS and staff with respect.
Their dual agenda of letting Covid rip and allowing the NHS to fail so private companies can cherry pick the profitable cases, is only possible with lots of public suffering.
I predict a disaster! The targets will not be met, at least not meaningfully. And the tension in the NHS as managers are forced to try and deliver unrealistic goals with no additional meaningful resources will simply drive staff away…but not to the private sector, as hoped!
I for one want to know that:
▪️if I have a stroke, the ambulance gets to me in less than20 mins, not an hour.
▪️if I develop cancer that I don’t have to wait two months to be treated
▪️I want to be able to get emergencies dealt with quickly.
Nothing in this proposal will do this

Clearly the private sector do not have the capacity to take over the NHS workload - even elective care. This Gov Strategy does more to develop that private care capacity than it does to improve NHS capacity.
It’s bad for patients good for business.
