NHS Crisis: What do people make of the government's 'emergency care plan' ?

Rishi Sunak launches a two-year emergency care plan for the NHS, with £1bn being used to fund more ambulances and beds.

Sky's Ashish Joshi speaks to patients and practitioners at the front-line of the NHS to hear their thoughts and reaction to the Prime Minister's efforts to restore the health service.

I make of it is just more tory lies, Sunak said “over two years” which basically means never like all the other tory promises. In any case a billion £ is not enough, more staff on decent pay is needed.

13 years in power. Shouldn’t have a plan. Should already be at the destination.

So the underlying problem is savage cuts to Social Care……?
Wow - there’s a turn up. Now who did that?

[aledref]

This ‘Falls Response’ is actually a good thing. It’s used in Wales already. They’re dedicated cars which attend 999’s for falls that prevents the long-lies that cause admissions

In order to retain any growing workforce the government need to review pay. For a new band 5 many over the country can't survive and will use the training to emigrate to Australia/New Zealand and Canada where the pay is roughly £10k better for newly qualified.

How can hospitals be full when we made huge hospitals with beds durring the pandemic. We did it then why not now? And what happened to these hospitals which we made for the pandemic.?

[jamescroxford]

This government couldn’t run a bath. We are still waiting for the “40 new hospitals!”. 🤥

[Astro_Gorilla]

I am happy we are getting more beds - real and virtual and new ambulances are very much needed.

I just have no idea who are going to work in those wards and drive those trucks. There are just no staff.

[lawrencebishton]

What about an NHS pay app like covid with virtual healthcare pay like the virtual healthcare provided ???

So that's where all the NHS pillows have gone, June's got them.

[droses]

Use the £1bn for wage increases for nurses/junior doctors/paramedics...now!!

[garry]

800 new ambulances, now the ambulance can just wait at your home instead of blocking A&E.

[lawrencebishton]

I mean could have a track and trace pay app no ???

[allip]

Where are all the district doctors and nurses required to adequately man this care in the community scheme? Guarantee this will just result in vulnerable people suffering and dying alone in their own homes but out of sight, out of mind, eh Rishi? As long as the rich keep making record profits and paying minimal taxes, nothing else matters!

[blewis]

As long as the UK keeps voting for labour or Tory, nothing will change..

[lawrencebishton]

I mean 37 billion pound for the app must be worth it but how exactly ?

[frankdevine]

HI, ALL, (( WHAT ABOUT THE NURSE PAY RISE, ?? )

[SuperTreemendus]

13 years of promises and here are some more!

[earnestequivocation]

What % of 999 calls are for falls? That would be helpful context.
Have we paramedics to spare?
This is very basic stuff Sky - pointless article.

[lawrencebishton]

Tracing over something is like tracing paper over a picture or Scape by adding a layer over the origin, al and tracking and tracing the Scape or picture to produce a copy of it ??? So is that like track and trace ? ? App ? If so what is a co, ro, no, virus? ? ? I know it's a o, mic, Ron variant has our borris said but it seems to me like I work n work n work n on the 10th year after 9 years 1 year shutdown for 9 years by 9 and 1 for me that I'm pend in leaving 0 whilst 9 has 10 years I have 0 like 2019/2021 I stop after smashup and I'm told I'm not right but seriously grafted all my life and 1 year for 10 years leaving the 1 or 9 or 19 of the year ending me life's graft to start at 20-²⁰‹²¹ back to 0 is a complete piss take not a joke not a favour but a complete and utter destruction of any hope of a life worth trying for I mean how can it be anything else ????
