It is really silly that the political parties have to use the NHS as a football, they should get out of it, the major problem is that the NHS is run by people who are not of a clinical background, so they are very protective of their jobs blaming every one but themselves, the polotitans speak with these people who would not give an honest answer whatever, the clinical staff (these are the most important) know what is wrong but have to keep their mouths shut on pain of loosing their jobs, so all the talk that they tell us about whistle blower's have no worries about their position in the NHS, that is what I say FAT CHANCE, they do not have a hope, they are seen as a problem for the hospital are then treated as such, messed about spoken down too and harassed, you have to remember that the whistle blower is saving you or your family, they see the mistakes! but are told that they should keep quiet or else!!, so if a hospital has a real problem with patient care and safety no one is going to say anything about it, you or one of your family just might die, unfortunately then it just might come out about possible mistakes made in the care, management of hospitals needs to have at least 45% if not more clinical staff running the clinical care needed, but no it will not happen, management group form a clan and anyone on the out side has no influence, many committees at hospitals have a patient representative, but how much is listened to when they point out faults, I have to smile when the NHS talks about transparency but fails to deliver to the country, when caught out they fight tooth and nail to move the responsibility on to any possible thing that can be thought up to explain the problem away.
Look at the NHS, who do they employ as a nurse??, not some one who has spent time on the wards learning how to care, they employ people who have a degree!!, what use is a degree when a patient needs to be cleaned up, it needs a caring person who wants to care not some one who has spent time in a university not being able to be taught how to care, care is not in fact taught you either have it or you don't, as you move up the nursing ladder to dizzy heights you will have to have a masters degree what a load of tosh!!!, you need to be able to care, understand the wards needs and finally have to ensure patient safety, you certainly do not need a degree or masters to be able and competent to do the job.
The next government should when it takes over should ensure that a top down review of services should be undertaken, and should involve more patient reps and many clinical people to ensure that the service runs correctly, and remove this overpowering stress put on staff to keep quiet when they see a problem.
