By Douglas FraserRising demand for private healthcare is a reflection of the NHS in crisis.Vast funds are being added to its budget, yet failing to turn it around. The study looks to non-financial changes being required urgently.
The NHS's shortcomings and long waiting lists are driving more people into use of private health, and two-tier provision. It points to health boards that are expected to deliver services well beyond their budget's capacity. Targets are set from on high. Health boards are summoned and berated for failing to meet them. I have long wondered why anyone is willing to serve on them.
A General Medical Council survey of trainees assessed 62% of them to be at moderate to high risk of burn-out. On the average day, more than one in 20 health workers are on sick leave.The Scottish government recognises that NHS workplaces lack a culture of seeking help. And while more mental health services are being put in place, the watchdog says that more should be done for physical wellbeing, including more space for staff to take breaks.
It says the target of 800 new GP recruits is unlikely to be reached. Health Secretary Humza Yousaf claimed on BBC Radio Scotland that he's got 250 so far. That's odd, because Audit Scotland can find only 113.Health Secretary Humza Yousaf is aiming to recruit more GPs to NHS Scotland
Sturgeon
Is it something to do with an inept left wing government giving all its attention to the 3 transsexuals north of the border?
My money on the Loon crew
Probably the amount they spend on pointless masks. Only place in the country they wear them.
Here`s a fan dabi dozi clue
For the same reason the rest of the UK is in the same position. Underfunding, understaffing and a global pandemic.
Badly managed
Jimmy Saville’s lifelong protection racket attempts to gaslight the public 💩🇬🇧💩🇬🇧💩🇬🇧
Join the dots.
Ten years plus of Tory/Westminster AUSTERITY...
The alcoholics.
Self determination
That’s easy, SNP have stopped governing & putting all their efforts into independence. How can that be representing all the Scottish people.
Here you go. Self destruction. Same all over the U.K.
Sturgeon/SNP..
The poison dwarf that is Sturgeon.
Snp clearly destroyed Scotland. DefundTheBBC
Closure/reduction of beds, centralised health care, downgrading/closure of hospitals. GPS, NHS24? not functioning as they should be. This then causes the issues with A&E and preplanned admissions. Too many managers in NHS. That is not even scratching the surface of the issues.
If NHS Scotland is in a critical condition, then must be getting ready to switch off the Life Support of NHS England and NHS Wales! Presumably the US won’t consider a trade agreement until the NHS is on the table.😏
Fully devolved NHS Scotland? SNP run fully devolved NHS Scotland? It's a mystery...
Poor management and the impact from social care underfunding, mismanagement and public expectations. Too much focus on bureaucracy and targets.
A government which hides its incompetence behind whataboutery, that’s how.
For the same reasons NHS England, NHS Wales and NHS NI ended up in a critical condition
Two words, one person: Humza Yousaf.
Here's why
Our politicians are compromised and have handed our country over to the Elite Parasites of the WEF and Klaus Schwab .. it’s the great reset they tell you about .. total destruction .. and as you take Millions from Bill Gates to push the bio weapon vaccine you know this . treason
Simple - SNP failure
Is anyone surprised
Still a lot better than England NHS
PFI Schemes!
Private Hospitals are available for those who chose to use them.They have the added safety of knowing if they lose ability to pay for private they can get NHS! Other private HCare contracts/dealings have taken money PFI schemes/given zero back-so £ that should’ve gone to NHS!👎🏼
Because it's run by the state.
Is it just NHSScotland? What about England and Wales, particularly rural areas? What impact has had the new junior doctor contract in England that has forced many doctors to move overseas, many of them not returning? How about Conservatives austerity?
You know full well the SNHS is not in critical condition..the NHs England, on the other hand, is suffering a fatal cardiac arrest.. stop lying
I’ve spoken with a few people regarding waiting times for operations, one has been waiting 2 years for prostrate operation. Two years 😳
That is what socialism does
SNP
A health service that spends millions in areas not critical to health care is not a health service. 😡
Mad politics?
Ask the theSNP that question. They can't blame Westminster as it's their own responsibility. Also having a useless health secretary does not help.
Torie...oh wait
