Wes Streeting (in the Times earlier this month via today's Guardian):
'We’ve got to identify a system of funding for healthcare that is more effective than the one we have currently got, and at the same time carries those who can’t afford to pay'.
To me this sounds like a;
a basic safety net for the poor;
a full spectrum, pay for use NHS for the bulk of the population; and
a quicker(?) private health care system for the rich?
This is not the NHS people want or voted for!
@ChrisMayLA6 But how can we stop him?
good Q.; mass protest (see another conversation this morning).
@ApAlun@toot.wales@ChrisMayLA6 Start a "Save the NHS" party?
@PoliceStateUK @ChrisMayLA6 Thanks for that. That seems to be almost exactly what I had in mind. I'll look into it a bit more - beyond fielding a candidate for Liverpool Riverside in 2024 I'm not sure how active they currently are.
@ApAlun I don't think they've done as well as they possibly deserve... our electoral system makes it very difficult for new parties to break through without massive financial backing (like the UKIP/Brexit/Reform lot).
@ApAlun @ChrisMayLA6 The Greens are making noises on the NHS which are much more in line with what we want, although as mentioned elsewhere, it's hard for them to break through.
