[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 337087, member: 33"] The cost of IVF and treating patients who have had botched cosmetic surgery is less than 0.01% of the NHS budget and would do little to fix the decline in ambulance services. If I had time with the secretary of state for health I would suggest the following: 1. Abolish the Tory National Insurance rise and instead increase the basic rate of income tax by 1p which would be a fairer was of raising money. Use money raised to improve social care to relieve pressure on the NHS. 2. Sue Dido Harding and the other Tory cronies for the £37 billion that they wasted on test and trace. Seize their assets to recoup as much of the money as possible. 3.Ditto for Tory Baroness Michelle Mone and other Tory cronies who ripped off tax payers for billions for unusable and overpriced PPE. 4. Money raised from 2 and 3 used to repair dilapidated hospitals. 5. Give health and social care workers a pay increase in line with inflation to stem the huge numbers who are leaving the profession every year. Funded by raising taxes on the highest earners. 6. Allow health authorities to recruit more doctors and nurses from overseas. 7. Invest in training more home grown doctors and nurses. 8. Reverse the use of private health suppliers in the NHS so money isn't paid out to fund dividends to their shareholders 9. Deal with health inequalities to ensure that black, Asian and other minority ethnic patients have outcomes as good as those seen for white patients. Ditto for LGBT+ patients. 10. Reverse Tory cuts to mental health services. [/QUOTE]
