NHS senior-doctor strike disruption warning for patients
BBC NewsMAY 2023
The government's failure to expand the public health sector long predates COVID, and its expansion of private involvement hasn't quelled the crisis. Despite public opinion showing a strong preference toward the NHS and opposition to the unaffordable private health industry in the US, both Labor and the Tories have only paid lip service to their constituents while moving steadily toward a private sector takeover.
The problem with a completely public health sector is that doesn't motivate innovation. Both liberals and conservatives should agree that the NHS, while maintaining its core principles, should allow the growth aspect of the private sector to assist in strengthening the institution as it plummets in quality and capacity. Privatize shouldn't be a dirty word — it's what's needed to dig the UK out of this hole.
