Since 2010, the NHS has been underfunded and understaffed year on year.
The waiting list has risen to over 5million, but even before the epidemic the waiting list was 4 million haven risen from those halcyon days of the last Labour government, when 55% of people waited 2 months or less and 23% waited less than 4 months.
Prof. Winston Graham has stated that every government made mistakes during the covid crises, but the U.K.s mistakes were catastrophic, with Hunt leaving the NHS in an appalling state of preparedness.
Javid is now attempting to lay some blame on the doctors. The very ones who he clapped.
It is what failing governments do isn’t it? Blame everyone but themselves for the catastrophe all around them.
But the NHS is not failing because of incompetence, although it would be rational to think it was. The NHS is failing because of a slow and deliberate policy by this government.
2008 2 months wait for a hip operation. Now it is 5 years.
Nothing but a deliberate run down of the NHS could have caused such a catastrophe.
