Where Does NHS Money Go To

The British public have lost so much faith in the NHS system over the last few years that more and more people are turning to private health insurance as a way of covering themselves against future illness. And is it any wonder when you look at the state of our health service? Every day’s press will bring a horror story of someone’s ill treatment at the hands of the NHS. This isn’t simply scaremongering – these things really happen and there is a lot more that goes on that isn’t reported. Let’s take a look at recent events that might just encourage people to invest in health insurance as a safeguard against having to accept health treatment at the hands of this government. First, we have the busy tourist town hospital on a bank holiday hr consultants Monday. One of the busiest days of the year for hospitals all over the country and you would expect extra staff to be drafted in to cover the expected increase in business. Not so for Bridlington Hospital in North Yorkshire. They left one nurse to run a thirty bed ward by herself! This would normally be the duty of seven nurses and maybe even more at a time when the town is deluged by an influx of visitors and tourists. How can it be possible that the patients would get even the basic care they needed with only nurse to tend them, let alone what would happen if an emergency were to occur. This hospital is one of many that have seen ridiculous and dangerous cut backs implemented in order to save money that put patient’s lives at risk.
