The management, only able to manage things not medicine as have not the knowledge, do this.

In A and E we do not arrive in nice orderly queues, but in gluts and famines of people presenting themselves for care (not talking about ambulance casualties).

You sign on at reception.

Then we all sit there for 3 or 4 hours and then everyone moves at once, who arrived together mostly.

That is how daft managers and the micro management of politicians, who do not use the NHS, actually is.

The GPs and doctors are in short supply because of lack of funding and training funding by the political class.

There is another way.

Vote the local issue party saving your local hospital and for MP the National Health Action party, who are running in 13 voting areas.

For the rest of us, there are alternatives as there is no such thing today as a small party, as small parties have the most influence in a UK parliament, due to be the most severe hung parliament in history.

WHO ARE THE PARTIES OF THE POOR, THE NHS, THE WELFARE STATE, THE STATE PENSION
Russell Brand tells you not to vote. But the non-voter and the poor voter (who oft are the same) now vastly outnumber the votes gained by Tories and Lib Dems to put them into the job and cause all this suffering, with worst to come.
