Kuya John Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) As you all will be aware the President of America is paying a visit to the UK. When asked yesterday, it was reported that the President had said the National Health Service " Was on the table for any future negotiations in a USA -UK trade deal". Today's News brings a host of would-be Prime Minister's, denying that would be allowed to happen and the President saying that "Everything is negotiable with a trade deal, but not necessarily the NHS. Is the turn-around due to the public outcry, or is there no smoke without fire?........Just a thought Edited June 5, 2019 by Kuya John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy79 Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 History has shown that very little that is promised by a politician comes to fruition. I think some privatisation has it's place in the health service, as from experience when it's tax payers money things are less controlled as has been shown by the better services provided on the continent where there's a fair amount of privatisation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years ago I was given the choice of a quicker NHS op if I went to the local Private Hospital. Thinking my treatment might be better, I agreed. Operated on in the Evening......thrown out in the morning! Even though I questioned the pain I was in! I wonder, had I been paying privately would my care of been more important? When I was visited by local NHS friends they said had I been in their care I would of had at least three days pain relief and monitoring!.....just my experience of a Private Hospital v NHS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
