The NHS was voted the best health service in the world. But certainly it has been under strain and is not coping. The reasons are quite easy to understand:
The dedicated staff are being worked to death. They are understaffed. There aren’t enough beds, doctors or nurses. It is being grossly underfunded. Minor injuries units are being shut down all over the country. There is creeping privatisation. Nurses are leaving in droves. They are having to bring in expensive agency staff. Social care cuts are leaving elderly and disabled in hospital beds instead of being cared for at home.
The simple fact is that the Tories are making a mess of it.
Under Labour:
Fair pay for doctors and nurses.
Bursaries for nurse training
4% increase on spending per year
Social care for the elderly and those in need
Under the Tories
A 7 year pay cut for doctors and nurses
Bursaries for nurse training stopped
1% increase on spending per year
Social care budgets slashed
The Facts Speak For Themselves. You can’t trust Tories with Public Services!!
