Everything is difficult for you dependents isn`t it, you can`t do a thing- especially think.
Ok on my way now, right down this windey road you`ve laid out all nice for me.

So overwhelmed by the sheer volume of evidence, you've run away rather than take a moment to find some.

The corrupt PPE contracts given to the Tories mates were added to the NHS budget. These figures might make it look like the govt are investing in the NHS when it could be argued that they are actually laundering public money through the NHS!

People living longer, increased population through migration. Years of underfunding, staff retention issues, strikes, low pay and moral. It’s a perfect storm really. I’m not sure what the answer is as I don’t think just throwing more money at the NHS will solve anything.
Maybe it’s needs to be centralised as there are too many NHS Trusts. This leads to delays, especially in mental health as it becomes a fight to get one trust to take ownership of a patients treatment if they are from a different area.
Also decisions within the NHS seem bizarre at the top level. Take the new Royal. We have increased demand in hospitals with more people requiring a bed for treatment. But we build a new hospital with less bed capacity than the old one?

It's as if the decision makers actively want less people to take care of especially if they are beyond the realms of productivity they require. See: Care home fiasco of covid response.

Cheers mate. I did some work with Helen Bevan's team it must be nearly a decade ago now. She's a bit of a funny thing but she's been making a similar point to the guy in that video for an age now. There are people that say and think the right things, but my sense with Helen and her team was that they were largely focusing on the NHS as the confines of the complex system, when of course, the NHS only plays a small part in our health and wellbeing. I suppose that's the problem. The NHS in itself is practically impossible to change. Add in all the other actors that influence our health and the complexity ramps up several levels again.
If you take data as an example, I generate a huge quantity of data about my health, but that which is contained in my official medical record represents a tiny proportion of the overall picture. None of that data works together or is accessible to any of the stakeholders interested in the health of Bruce Wayne. If you were to argue that the NHS should transition away from trying to do it all and toward making sure that all of the stakeholders involved in our health work well together then I've no doubt you'd hear howls of privatisation and so on, but when you're dealing with the kind of complexity the chap in the video talks about it's rarely doable via a centrally planned system. When you expand the horizon out to include the huge number of organisations involved in our overall health then it's already a "village", but we only focus on one part of it (the NHS).
This will never happen, obviously, which is why I'm fairly certain the service will stumble from crisis to crisis.
