ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!\n\nWith the introduction of the NHS Trust in the early 90's, I witnessed a massive waste of money and quite a bit of nepotism. Jobs were invented for people who were surplus to requirements.\n\nThe hospital I worked in had 5 psychiatric units...2 elderly services admissions, 2 acute admissions and 1 day hospital.\n\nthese units had 1 manager working day shift and 1 manager working night shift.\nWhen the trusts came in, they took on 5 managers..1 for each ward and gave them 24hr responsibility. Bonus' were introduced for on-call and that on top of the inflated pay rise they all got, sent the budget spiralling.\n\nAfter a few years running like this...the Trust was complaining of overspending..not by a little, but by millions and millions of pounds.\n\nI don't ever recall being overspend by these ridiculous amounts of money before the introduction of so many managers.\n\nNo wonder there are so many  problems in the NHS today..all due to lack of funding. \n\nEnough said!!!

Nurses are wonderful giving people...the deserve more money DEFINITELY.  they should of course be trusted..I trust nurses more than doctors most of the time...I expect nurses to be caring and professional...I've had very few bad experiences from nurses..most of the time they are outsanding.

Privatisation of the NHS has been happening by stealth for many years now - witness the creation of NHS Trusts, and the private companies they employ to provide critical care and GP services.

they are a problem but not the reason the nhs is in meltdown. the problem lies in over paid people in suits being given pointless jobs i.e. nappie changing co-ordinator (38,000 per yr). there will always be problem when you gave more managers than you do doctors and nurses.

it depends... was you a threat to the hospital staff? if you were No you can't... and most likely you couldn't anyways because they will have an legal reason for doing so and the proof of them lieing lies on your shoulders and if you can not prove any different then  you are just SOL>.....

Doctors are legally, morally, and ethically bound to tell you the truth about your test results.  If you have doubts, get a second opinion.

I think one of the major stumbling-blocks of healthcare provision will always be the financial consideration.\n\nThe current NHS is actually knee-deep in money, but large quantities of that money are poorly spent. Wherever large institutions such as the NHS exist, there is always the opportunity for 'empire builders' within the organisation to further their own ends, and lose sight of, accidentally or deliberately, the end-aim of the institution.\n\nThe government have tried to make the NHS accountable but with such a huge organisation, true accountability at all levels is plainly not achievable. To starve the NHS of money would be seen as destruction of the system, and to simply throw money at the NHS in an attempt to solve problems that are not primarily financial, but administrative, is plainly not working.\n\nThe whole problem is one of human nature. There will always be people who will do 'the right thing' and have the highest levels of conscience and transparency of motivation. On the other hand, there will always be those that merely wish to feather their own nests, make a quick buck, assure their future, and in a virtually non-administrable system such as the NHS, this behaviour will be rife.\n\nThe NHS is a cash-cow to too many people, and rectification of that wrongful state of affairs is always going to be more difficult that it first appears. In the mean time, the areas of the NHS that are starved of money by faulty administration within the system will continue to be so.\n\nThe NHS continually haemorrhages vast sums of money, and those vast sums are not spent on direct healthcare. Until a workable solution is found for that situation, the debacle will continue.
