I believe in public services for people not for profit

Waited 5 years till 2016for spinal fusion. Now got more problems, spine and hips, won't do spine till hips are sorted. Been waiting since 2019 for help.

I believe that the health system should be accessible for all residents of the UK.

You cannot trust this Government they have lied too us all the time. The NHS comes first in my book not giving themselves a massive Payrise.

This is disgusting the NHS should NOT be Private and also NOT for Profit! Furthermore, I believe there is an American company namely Centene trying to get their "Foot" in the door which people in the United Kingdom do NOT want as people will need Insurance otherwise you will not get treated, and people in the United Kingdom are entitled to free medical care at the point of care. Also people who come from the European Union and also outside the European Union should be made pay,just like UK residents do when they go on holiday!So it is time to Fight-the-Good-Fight, As the NHS belongs to us and the USA!! ✊

My daughter is a doctor and she is overwhelmed with not enough staff

I haven’t been able to see a doctor regarding ongoing issues with Crohn’s disease since 2019. I have been given telephone appointment which have not happened and I’m in such a desperate state that I have actually contemplated going private although it goes against everything I stand for. Where is our national insurance going if not for our health care?

I have been waiting 18 months for a knee operation. Still waiting... who knows how much longer. The people in government aren't there to serve us or look after us; they're clearly in that job to get the most out of it for themselves and their cronies. No kidding.

the main problem with a two tier system is that private insurance company employees will have power over life and death playing god with our lives, the thought of that is terrifying i am sick to death that we have to keep fighting the government to not privatise the NHS, this country was missold Brexit saying that 350 mmillion will go to the nhs each week we will build 40 new hospitals the government tell lie after lie, we should be sue the goverment for misselling Brexshit just like the banks missold us PPI it amounts to the same thing we should sue them for billions none of us as have benifited only the rich have got richer. I hate the Tories I wish I was able to donate but I am unable to afford it.

I have been waiting for surgery since January 2020.

I understand that my surgery may not be of the highest priority but this does not excuse the way that the government has treated the NHS.

Cant get dental treatment on NHS paid NI all my working life of 45 years why should I have to go private ?

I believe in public services for people not profit.

NHS - for the people, no matter colour, nationality or religion.

People deserve the best treatment available.

We have dedicated, highly trained staff working in our hospitals, who need to be supported by the government with new equipment, supplies and salaries linked to the cost of living.

Perhaps the Members of Parliament could have an in-depth enquiry to ascertain if they are ‘value for money’?

Ofcourse, there are the ‘shady dealings’ i.e. the disgrace of the PPE contracts where the ‘old boys network’ comes into play.

The Health Service is fundamental to our lives and envied around the world. A national treasure which should be guarded as such.

People FIRST - NOT profit!!

My family has so much to thank the NHS for and it makes me angry that this Government sees privatisation of the NHS an opportunity for their Tory chums to make a lot of money. Serco took over health care in Suffolk and it failed. Serco handed back the contact because they couldn’t make any money. The same is now happening with GP surgeries. They are gradually being privatised and if they don’t make a profit, they are closed down. NHS dental is chronically underfunded and so many people are forced to pay for dental care, which is expensive. This government doesn’t care about health and welfare of people in this country.

My wife had a prominent facial growth - upsetting her - not going out etc - Called "Cosmetic" and not allowed on NHS now. Had she become depressed , needed drugs -anti-depressants, or even mental health support and care this is of course available! Saw a TV programme where the GP was able to excise a similar growth - so that trust had allowed it! So its a post code lottery. had to go private down here in the South - Ok I could afford it but it wasn't "cosmetic" - it was causing serious depression! Just like dentistry - its not on the NHS - unless you are on benefits! £282.80 for a tooth to have a crown - or loose it as I am told its been filled too many times ? Referred to Care UK - Now laughably called Practice Plus Group for an extraction on the NHS - but I am paying 282.80 !!! Not life threatening I know but the NHS will go the way of dentistry unless we fight harder for the NHS and bring it all back under public control!

I am a retired GP having worked all my life in the NHS. The Labour party set up the NHS as a free service and that is the way it should remain. I have no objection to a simple 'item of service' charge on prescriptions for those who are in work, as long as this does not exceed the cost of the item prescribed. General Practice is wonderful. G.P's gradually get to know their patients and can often advise patients out of hours on the basis of their knowledge and mutual respect. The NHS is envied throughout the world. It is a system that that gives a free service based on the individuals need. Once lost it will never be possible to reintroduce it. It should be treasured by all, both rich and poor. No-one knows when an emergency such as a stroke or heart attack may occur. THE NHS IS OUR 'SAFETY NET' - there to act ON OUR BEHALF, when the unexpected happens.

A word of warning to those considering going Private: the factors that have led to its growth bring with it the failings of the NHS-don't expect your cheque book/visa card to bring you the opportunity for quality time with your consultant, the private conveyor belt is as relentless. Be aware too that within the major corporate providers, there are consultants who do not subscribe to the organisation's aims but continue to work as if they were still in private practice. Do your research thoroughly before going down this road-

We need to preserve our health service ,we can't go back to a time when parents could not afford to take children to a GP.We should not let private companies profit from health provisions

I have worked in the NHS and in the USA medical system. Our medical care is as good as and in many cases much better than that in the US and is provided at half the cost. The conservative governments have been cutting NHS funding and reducing service allowing insidious private profiteering to be made from the shortfalls.

Where I live in Kettering Northamptonshire, not one surgery is fit for purpose and none of them can be classed as serving the community, and I'm talking pre-covid. It is not the fault of the NHS but of successive governments who use it as a political football. It has now become a national disgrace. Whatever you do, don't become Ill, or you'll probably die through a lack of due care and attention.

We need to get rid of this lying cabal before our NHS is completely destroyed!

Absolutely disgusting you can't get treatment on the NHS, after paying national insurance all our lives,

I'm T2 diabetic on insulin. I'd be dead without the NHS. There are many like me who rely on meds to stay healthy and alive who couldn't afford to pay private fees for our medication which we now get for free. We cannot allow anyone to die because they can't afford insulin, or any other essential medication, as is the case in the US. We don't want a US healthcare system in the UK under ANY circumstances. It's bad enough being threatened with shortages of food when one is already on a restricted diet. I'm terrified!!!
