24 Hours in A&E: Wouldn't be Much Of a Programme at Tameside Hospital.

 My Mother has just gone into Tameside Hospital A&E For the Third time in as many weeks. 

And for the third time in as Many weeks it's been over 12 hours before she's seen a Doctor and been admitted to a ward.

If they filmed "24 Hours in A&E" at Tameside, they'd just have film of people sat around waiting.... and waiting.

Many people make much of how the NHS is available 24 Hours a day, 7 days a week. But that's not true. Some parts of the NHS only work weekdays and only office hours.

For instance we all know if we are on a ward it will be at least 3pm before we get to see a Doctor to be able to be cleared to be sent home.

We all know that we'll be in A&E for at least 4 hours going through triage and the "process" before we get to see a Doctor. And if we pitch up late at night, surprise surprise a Doctor will show up around 8am when the day shift starts.

We all know that the NHS isn't a 24-hour service for certain parts of it. Senior doctors don't cover 24 Hours. Laboratory workers don't cover 24 Hours.

And this is where the NHS creates most of it's inefficiencies. If I were PM I'd be insisting that ALL parts of the NHS work 24 hours a day. I'd make sure that any delays caused by a process or a person not being available would be result in the management of the NHS trust being penalised. 

You see, it's all well and good the Doctors and Nurses having to negotiate their salary and the Government having some control, but there's a huge swath of the NHS that escape unscathed from the eye of the government. A huge proportion of staff that can work inefficiently and get away with it. 

The administrators, managers, etc. All need to be on some performance based pay. Senior managers need to lose their bonuses pro rata with certain targets. 

I'd try and make the NHS work like the private sector. For sure per person they get paid a lot more than the private sector, so the NHS should be up there efficiency and service wise.

No matter when you turn up at the NHS, there should be no reason why you shouldn't be seen by a doctor, prioritised, had bloods taken, etc. within an hour of arriving. The lab should be working 24/7 to process blood samples, the same for radiography.

Now, if we are saying that only junior doctors work in A&E and they take longer than an hour to diagnose a patient and have to wait until they get advice from a more senior doctor, then that senior doctor should be on the premises and available 24/7 and there should be no delay in getting a diagnosis and treatment. None of this waiting until 8am until the specialist swans in.

And if the BMA fights with the government against these reforms, then we'll all know it's about the money and not about treatment of patients. 

I doubt the public would have any sympathy with that stance. 

Measles Outbreak, What's REALLY Going on?

The BBC is reporting on the most recent measles outbreak, skirting around the actual cause of the outbreak and instead making rambling statements about how children in school at various ages hadn't had the vaccine.

Now, let's look at this a bit more objectively and without a politically correct Kommissar looking over our shoulder.

The MMR vaccine is issued to all kids in the UK around the age of 18 months. Only a small minority refuse to get their kids vaccinated. Those are the extremely small vaccine-hesitant minority of the white community, but by far the majority of those refusing the MMR jab are in the migrant community, mainly the Muslim immigrant community.

The clue is in the Locations: Certain parts of London, Birmingham, Bradford, Leeds, etc. All areas with high/majority immigrant populations.

The fact is that parts of the Muslim community in the UK still class vaccinations as Haram and will not therefore partake of any vaccination effort whatever the NHS say. 

The fact that a lot of immigrants come from countries where there is no childhood vaccination program because of this only exacerbates the problems and strains put on the NHS by an infected adult population. We now have a large adult population that wasn't vaccinated as children and still refuses to be vaccinated into adulthood. 

When you talk about the National Security of this country, you not only refer to the threat of terrorists and bad actors entering the country, you also need to understand that the health of the nation is also covered. 

What sort of outbreak does it take to make the virtue-signalling middle-class wake up? Do we need a TB outbreak, do we need Cholera, Diphtheria or Polio to make a return? 

Mass Mental Illness.

I  think I've about had it with the world, there seems to be a mass Psychosis, some mass delusion or mental illness gripping the Western World.

Yes, the gender ideology is part of that, but this rush for collectivism, this rush to embrace Marxism, the absolute antithesis of the capitalism that has brought much of the West out of poverty.

Not only the gender nutjaobs, but the climate nutjobs, the anti-farming nutjobs, and all the other clinically mentally ill people that governments around the West are using to bring in authoritarian regimes. 

I've had enough. Much like Douglas Murray has had enough of them. I've had enough of an absolutely tiny (but loud) minority dominating government policy. As parents we understand that there are times we need to ignore the screams and pleadings of a child if it's in the interests of the child. We don't pander to bad behaviour and improper thoughts. If little Timmy bullies his sister, we deal with the bad behaviour and reinforce the good behaviour. That's good parenting, good government.

It's time to ignore the behaviour that is causing so much issue in the West.

Of course I blame the parasitic elites, those that amass huge personal fortunes. They give the nutjobs the fuel with which to stoke the fire. Look, they say, if only we could bring in Communism, we would all be sharing in the profits. Except "we" never do. Communism, Marxism they never work and no matter how much you say that "it hasn't been done properly yet", we know the score and the body count.

No, it's time for those parasitic 1%-ers to realise their role in the downfall of the West. They need to start pulling their weight and paying their way. No more tax breaks for Amazon, no more offshoring tax liabilities. Earn it here, pay it here. You transact with a person in the UK then UK tax is liable. Tax law needs to be changed to reflect it doesn't matter if your head office is in Luxembourg, it doesn't matter if your server is in Wisconsin. If you transact or contract with a UK citizen, then tax needs to be paid to the UK exchequer. Replace the UK high street if you want, but you replace the tax shortfall too.

No special tax deals, no offshoring tax liabilities, no holding onto huge fortunes. 

End. Of.
