"An NHS England spokeswoman said there had been some improvement in the care provided, "but there is clearly more that can be done". Straight from 'The Jobsworths' Bumper Book of Rebuttal and Positive Spin' when their breath-taking incompetence is exposed, along with 'On this occasion we have fallen short.', and 'Improvements were already in place.' (at the time of the exposé), and 'We should have done better!', 'This is only one complaint among many hundreds/thousands/millions of satisfied clients.', and the old chestnut 'Lessons will be learnt,' Jesus how I loathe self-serving and parasitic bureaucrats - they're the sole reason that the UK is on the skids. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36184760
That's an understatement. The NHS has become completely overburdened in recent years. England has added 6 million more people in the last 20 years, yet the tax base has not been able to keep pace. Just to give you some perspective, that's more than the entire population of Finland. The NHS is overburdened, and quality has suffered. They already have to bring in foreign doctors from India because they do not have the money to pay what it would cost to have English doctors. Think about that, that seems kind of desperate to me. The stupid English people don't seem to care. There will always be more money to come from somewhere else, they're not the ones paying for it. Someone else will take care of everything. Well, one day the English are going to wake up and find they have a Third World style healthcare system, where people will have to pay to go somewhere else if they want to get any decent treatment.
The NHS is underfunded to the point of imminent collapse for one reason and one reason only - that our taxes are being misappropriated to pay our subscriptions to the ECB and to save the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing Euro. And that is also the reason why schools are being privatised. But you're right about the English not caring - they're so preoccupied with watching never-ending sport and moronic tv that they haven't noticed.
While I agree with some of what you have written, the NHS employing foreign doctors is nothing new it has been happening since the 30's, successive governments have recruited doctors, nurses and other health workers from overseas to work in UK health services with the first mass recruitment waves of nurses from the African Caribbean in the 1950s and doctors from the Indian subcontinent in the 1960s.
