Thanks

The NHS was always going down hill due to no R & D but I think a recap of history for those that were born after the corrupt 1980’s is required. The NHS at the start was set up correctly in that nursing staff controlled and ran the hospital. You only have to look at the success of Japanese engineering companies that have a policy of promoting from within the engineering ranks because those people know the industry best and know which way the technology is heading. In the 80’s money became the be all and end all of companies that were only interested in making the share price go up in the short term regardless of the long term. It was a mad period where companies were shutting down R & D departments because they were seen as high cost and lowering the share price. The smart companies renamed their departments so the idiot accountants could not see them. The NHS was starting to cost more due to drug prices and its own success then Thatcher did a job on it and brought in masses of administration staff, that we still suffer today, under the guise of streamlining it to reduce costs. Anybody with any sense could see it was a bad idea especially when administration was not the problem it just added a big cost load on the NHS that did not improve patient care. My view is Thatcher was lobbied by private medicine to destroy the NHS and she wanted to get rid of the cost from the government pockets. She didn’t bargain for the public reaction and that is probably the reason the Conservatives booted her out for giving them a bad name. She created the housing crisis of today by preventing councils from building houses so that private builders could supply the houses and reap the vast profits. Strange Thatcher went from a small semi in Wimbeldon to a half million pound Barratt home. The NHS administrators get far more money than the medical people and are just parasites. One CEO was given £225K to quit it is just obscene. If the NHS cost less and ran perfectly well before administrators were added what is the point in having them?

If I was in control of the NHS I would implement your vertical integration by giving all the administration the boot, put the nursing staff back in control, get GCHQ to set up a secure IT system under the direction of the nursing staff and of course set up a government R & D department that was not a closed shop to alternative treatments other than drugs. It will never happen so it is down to engineers to create the Electrotherapy devices that I know can cure any pathogen based disease and shake up the whole system up.

Thanks
