In case you forgot, this doctor confirms: The NHS is still in crisis
Is the NHS overcrowded? Silly question! [Image: BSIP/UIG via Getty Images.]
Emergency departments are overcrowded with care being delivered in corridors because there are no cubicles, and patients are waiting unacceptable lengths on trolleys as there are no beds available within hospitals.
Indeed, the situation is incredibly frustrating as we are left to face the day-to-day reality of inadequate funding and resources.
Staff become ill, stressed and eventually burn out.

There can be no doubt that there is ONE very big thing wrong with the NHS which is that it is UNDERFUNDED by this uncaring Tory government which really wants it to become the PHS (the profitable health service) to further their mates greed.
Have been saying this for years, but the respective government only see £ signs and have all been privatising aspects of care since the early 1980’s
I would appreciate it if people circulated this document proving that the Tory Neo-Liberal agenda is not concerned about creating an efficient dynamic economy, but are deliberately transferring wealth and power upwards and that this crisis has been in the planning since 1982.
Margaret Thatcher’s secret 1982 cabinet papers “the longer term options” released in 2012 under the 30 year rule.

This is a large document and so takes a little more than a couple of minutes to download, but be patient as you will find it very revealing within the first four pages let alone the whole document.
We have been lied to by Neo-Liberal politicians over the past forty years and in reality it all started in 1970 by Edward Heath’s government, the start of the industrial troubles that were blamed on the Unions, when in fact it was all government inspired.
I do hope the people of this country will start to wake up why Jeremy Corbyn is so publicly and constantly vilified. The reasons are obvious, he has the courage to stand up to this tyranny, which is why we should all get behind him.
@Mervyn Hyde “in reality it all started in 1970 by Edward Heath’s government, the start of the industrial troubles that were blamed on the Unions,” To be fair the industrial and economic woes of the 1970s were down to the 1974 OPEC Oil Crisis which led not only led to industrial unrest but also massive inflation which in turn led to the disaster of Thatcher’s election in 1979. It snowed on the May day Thatcher was elected, a grim foretaste of what was to come. Bear in mind that the Tories were only in power for four years through the 1970s, Labour the rest.
