Nhs Crisis

[diddlydo]

This is where we end up after 9 years of Tory mis-rule. Is this what the Tories on this site feel proud of? See:

I was recently admitted to A&E with suspected sepsis. While waiting to be booked in a gentleman was arguing, via his interpreter, that he should be admitted because he was suffering with a toothache. If A&E only dealt with those who were in genuine need of treatment and those not suffering from self inflicted drug related

Apologies - "put" should read "our" (touch typing never my strong point!)

[naomi24]

If you welcome Labour opening the floodgates to uncontrolled immigration - which you do - it can’t be that much of a crisis, diddly. No extra burden there then.

[exarmy448]

sorry posted before I finished. I was going on to say that if those suffering from self inflicted problems such as drug overdose or alcohol related problems there would be more time for those who are in genuine need to be dealt with/

[ummmm]

As exarmy has said if people used A&E correctly the waiting times would be much less.

I already blame immigration for the state of our NHS, too many now, time to call a halt. exarmy has it spot on with a foreign speaking man using an interpreter (who pays for that?) thinking he should have priority !!!

[ummmm]

Drug overdoses and alcohol related injuries still need to be dealt with.

Diddly,suggest you read how Labour perfomed in this area:-

Unfortunately, the inability for some to get help anywhere else means they have to go to A&E.

[dannyk13]

ummmm // alcohol related injuries still need to be dealt with.//
Not when those visiting A & E are drunk and disorderly, threatening and abusing staff.My local Infirmary has two police officers on duty 24/7 inside A & E because of this.

[diddlydo]

There would be far fewer people in A&E if they could get a GP appointment without waiting for 2 weeks.

[ummmm]

I don't think the minor injuries clinic is advertised well enough. When I went there, just off A&E, it was empty. I was seen and treated within 10 minutes.

[ummmm]

Drunk and disorderly is different to someone getting a bit tipsy and falling over.

[Prudie]

What party do you need to support to understand this is because of the huge numbers they have to deal with in comparison to the past? Or should I ask what level of intelligence do you need to understand?

[dannyk13]

ummmm //Drunk and disorderly is different to someone getting a bit tipsy and falling over.//
I agree but they are not the ones likely to cause a problem.

[anotheoldgit]

Let's face it the demise of our once great NHS is all down to increasing numbers of immigrants into our country people who have never contributed a penny into it.

[THECORBYLOON]

Do have any evidence to back up your claim?

There is no political issue that some people cannot blàme on immigration.
