Starmer outlines plans for major NHS reform: ‘Broken but not beaten’

The state run NHS has been in crisis and endured some of its toughest winters in recent years, struggling to recover from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, long backlogs for elective procedures and industrial action. The previous Conservative government failed to reduce waiting lists, blaming strike action, and Starmer, whose Labour Party won a landslide victory in a July election, made reaching pay agreements with health staff an early priority

Public enemy number one
If only the service wasn't being strained through having to cope with 700k extra people year on year that haven't paid any taxes into the system that funds the NHS.
Starmer will destroy whats left of the NHS
Surprised he hasn’t announced no treatment for pensioners
By the time this cretin the whole country will be BROKEN
Sir Keir Starmer, knighted kid starver. Genocide supporter with a toolmaker father. Freezes your gran, taxes billionaires less. Now he's gonna privatise the NHS.
The fifteen plus million being spent on housing and providing healthcare for people who have entered our country illegally might help.. one would imagine..
How much to Ukraine?
Labour seem to be working on a better deal for the NHS
NO the NHS is not BEATEN the BRITISH people are BEATEN you NUMPTY,not that you CARE about us you just want us DEAD or so ILL that we die . I HOPE GENERATIONS TO COME WILL REMEMBER LABOUR
1 PENALISE PENSIONERS
2 GIVE TRAIN DRIVERS A HEALTHY RISE
3 RELEASE PRISIONERS TO MAKE ROOM FOR DEMONSTRATERS (instead of sending back ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS THAT BREAK THE LAW)
And that is in 9 weeks OMG another 4 years of this VOTE THE LIAR OUT
Hes Lying his eyes are open .
10 year should have made it 5 as he won't get voted back in even the regional votes in may are going to prove that
"No more money without reform" just after giving a massive payrise to Doctors! The NHS is beyond real reform, because it was set up as a monopoly. No monopoly in history has ever been efficient. Only competition can ensure that.
As an NHS employee, can i just say f**k off. Youve already made cuts to the NHS budget, I really am dreading what comes next.
Makes sense to repair the NHS to get ready for the influx of pensioners suffering from hypothermia this winter
LOL You thought your precious NHS would be safe under Labour 😂😂😂
*In England only.
10-year plan 😂😂😂 you'll be out in five
Stop throwing tax payers money in overseas wars and cut the spending on illegal migrants hotels free housing nhs costs schooling etc.
The lying Brexiteers will be here any moment with our £350 Million a week for the NHS, it was on a bus so it must be true
Globalist TYRANT . Dictator. WEF Shill.
Previous estimate of 24 hours to save the NHS reappraised to 10 years to save the NHS…
10 year plan… Will they last that long?
plenty of money for the foreigners though eh?
Starmer need to go to speck saver 😂
Just go sir quisling
NHS has needed this for years. Shameful squandering of money.
Tories destroyed the NHS.
It was always just a matter of time for kier Starmer to follow the davos and American protocols to deliberately put in peoples minds early that the NHS is destined to fail. ready for the future parliament speech to announce that we've come to the conclusion that the NHS is unstainable . All ready for the Americans and davo buddies to privatised.
Next thing to attack after that is the State pension reform. Few million more immigrants and then we are officially a third world country.
The English do not do well to immediately label every permier as incompetent or whatever before he has had a chance to make a difference.
How come the nhs has to reform yet train drivers just given a rise ..o yes they are trade unionist
He should be kick out OF MP
It's all part of his great reset of Britain,ready for the New world order that his Davos associates want.
I dont think so🙏
My wife worked in a lab in the NHS. Under the Conservatives, they constantly either didn't receive a pay rise or got one below inflation. Instead, they moved up pay bands. In many cases the rise placed many on management pay grades. This left many no longer willing to do their job as they were now managers. When she left there were more managers than staff.
A barrage of metaphors from the Poet-in-chief!
HORRIBLE LEADER WEAK AND LOCKS PEOPLE UP FOR WORDS
10 years you not be in for that long full off lies
UK Trained doctors who left abroad can be called back to UK and serve the nation
