“No more money without reform,” is the actual line.
Perhaps seeing it distorted as per the headline is to be expected of the Morning Star.
you cant reform the nhs without more funding since its funding has been slashed for a decade.
agreed.
But you need a viable plan for reform. Or you are just throwing money at the problem.
Assuming the most forgiving interpretation of his statements. (not saying we should, just avoiding bias)
“No more money without reform,” could indicate he expects the NHS to agree to a policy of reform before throwing any more money at it.
The main issue is more funding won’t help; all it does is patch things up, and the root causes of the issues never get solved.
With reform, you could remove bureaucracy where it causes issues and add it where there’s breakdowns in communications instead of just adding more funding to improve capacity in one obvious area and expose a bottleneck immediately before or after it, making the majority of the extra funding wasted
It’s usually a good idea to patch a ship before it sinks, rather than re-arrange the deck chairs.
never thought id see the day that the nhs was killed by a so called labour government
Oh god. I knew this Tory bot would be at it again.
Fuck off, I dont want the government throwing more money at the NHS for it to be passed to mandatory contracts with Tory chums.
I suppose you supported the billions spent on shitty COVID waste when it went via the NHS.
i mean mandatory contracts with tory chums is wes streetings dream.
Faux labor maybe
So privatisation it is?
odd how labour has no time to properly fund the nhs but they have time pushing pro crypto bills in the commons.
Has time got anything to do with it.
Seems money is the root of the debate. More specifically, how or if it should be provided by the government.
And while I personally am pretty left of centre on taxing the rich or corporations.
It is pretty darn hard to argue Labour as it stands now has any political mandate to do so. It sure as hell was not the policy they won the election on.
