Reform, but not as we know it
The Conservative Party leader, David Cameron, is to change the party's
policy on health care; he wants to keep it free at the point of use.
This move 'thus effectively ruling out radical reform of the NHS' said
a presenter on Radio 4 this morning.
Why is radical reform of the NHS even considered? If there's any reform
it should be of the nation not of the National Health Service. The NHS
should be treated as an insurance policy, something people hope never
to have to use. They should live in a way that not only reduces their
chance of having to make a claim but, should they need treatment, one
that also allows the staff to deal with them easily and quickly. In
other words people should keep their bodies in good shape. An insurance
policy is not a maintenance contract.
Thought for the day
The government says introducing competition through choice will reduce
waiting times and increase the quality of care. ...The overwhelming
priority for most people remains access to good local services that
eliminate the need for choice. Which, January 2006
