The idea that the government want to charge people ten pounds a month to use the NHS is something that goes against all that Aneurin Bevan the founder of the NHS in 1945 stood for. The start of the 'free' NHS heralded a nation that made all people equal in terms of being medically looked after and made a massive difference to peoples lives. The government seem to be so desperate for money that they will take it from those who also desperately need it. I believe that charging ten pounds a month will not make a difference to those who visit the doctors or A&E for silly things,but will make people want to make the most of their ten pounds and will use the NHS more.
Also the payouts given to people who have allegedly suffered negligence at the hands of the NHS is completely bizarre and is ripping the money right out of the taxpayers hands and affecting the quality of the service. This needs to be closely scutinised, every pound given in compensation affects the safety and quality of the NHS even more, it is counter productive. Please comment on your thoughts, thye are very welcome.
