Boris asks for volunteers

so boris has asked for 250,000 volunteers to help supprt the NHS

as boris and his tory party front bench have said this is the worst thing to hit the uk and to save the NHS then the people we need volunteers.

OK, well, if you guys hadn't for a decade sucked the life out of the NHS with all the cutbacks and penny pinching the NHS wouldn't be in the state it's in at the moment.

Also if as you say its this bad why are you asking for volunteers, if you want people to be on the front line pay them!!! as you keep saying how importnat this is and how wonderful the NHS is so back it up with the money and to pay the people and stop doing things on the cheap.

so all in all do you think this is the right way to go using volunteers or how would you sort it out?

Everything Boris does is on the cheap. The man makes my blood boil. He wont even give straight answers to straight questions. Hes robbed the honest working people of a decent wage him & his party before him. Now hes asking people to help him out his mess. He wont even pay sick people the benefits they are owed.

@Johnblackthorn wasted how?

medical ewuipment needs to be made in a clean and sterolised enviroment because if they weren't anyone would eb making the equipment

well the county im in one coucil built an incinerator so all medical watse from all the hosputals can be nurned there

its all down to cost cutting and making things central, like theyve taken away half of the materity wards in my country so people have to travel at least 20 miles to one now

yes i do agree it needs a serious look at and far to much austerity has brought it to its knees but yet again you can"t run anything on peanuts and expect a rolls royce service

@milkymum1 clean rooms are sterilised environments, most small electronic equipment is made in one.
Crutches are no longer taken back, apparently it's cheaper to buy new thanbto clean the ones you have, in many hospitals wheel chairs costing £800 are not accepted as returns. Darent vally hospital spent £1.2 million on a glass roof and changes to the a&e reception, it's smaller than expected and the glass roof leaks because its a bad design, but the designers and engineers still get paid,It doesn't matter how you dress it up, it's a huge waste of money. we're paying rolls royce money and letting the staff down by allowing the few at the top to pocket huge underhand deals while their mates make a nice profit.

@Johnblackthorn yes I know

As for Crurches my local authority don't supply them anymore if a patient is realsed and needs then they have to pay for them from a medical shop.

That's part the problem with any works done the people quote low get the job do a so so effort, get paid in full then spend ages tryign to put it right.

Also many Hospitals will only use the people tehy know so won't go to any compnany which seems crazy to me.

Well I know from some of the Hospitals near me they've been left to ruin so they've need to be refurbished , yet again a lack of investment by Government

Yes sadly its yet again the right people knwoing the right MP to get the best deal for them but not for the Hospital

@RodneyTrotter Yes consecutive Governments have had plenty of oppertunities to sort out many problems but they just seem to blame the other party for the problems while they do nothing.

The hardest thing is we"ve now had 4 of the worst PM's in History and the future doesn't look any better so if anything its going to get worse.

I know it gets hard at times to keep typing out the list of fialed PMs

You think that they should recruit 250,000 new nurses and doctors overnight? 🤔

As for alleged past errors, should they go back in time or should they instead focus on what is needed right now? 🤔

What do you actually want him to do?
