How would you solve the NHS crisis?*Funding should be diverted from EU funding. *A review of management in hospitals is urgently required. Hospitals are over run with managers. *Existing staff are not paid there own pay scale to work overtime so won't work to cover shifts leaving no option but to pay agency staff at a considerable higher cost. Pay existing staff more and reduce costs to agency. * Health and social care services cannot continue on the current provision. There needs to be more access out of hrs and public holidays. * Costs providing transport home for patients needs a drastic review. Patients and families expectation is that transport should be provided at no cost. Transport should only be escalated to nhs providing once family or other means have been explored. Only vulnerable and unwell patients should be provided with transport home from hospital. *PFI hospitals should be scrapped. These will and are proving to be counter productive to saving costs * Legal tax evasion should be stopped and increased revenue used. * Money used for delayed discharge should be diverted to opening more beds. Throwing money at delayed discharge is not going to solve the problem of an ageing population that is increasing the demand on the NHS. * local authority care homes and step down step up beds are required to prevent admission and for discharge from hospital once medically stable. * Nationwide campaign to educate the public on the correct use of AE to prevent unnecessary presentation. I could go on............. Just a few thoughts from a recently early retired nurse where capacity meetings on a daily basis sums up the need for actual beds.
