Wes, I'm counting on you to fix the NHS Please start with us being able to get a gp appointment rather than go through this sing and dance over the phone at eight am in the mornings.
Having to call a human being (that's collecting a salary that could be going to more doctors and nurses) to set up an appointment instead of an automated digital system is the problem with the entire UK's bureaucracy.
Tories, labour, Lib Dem etc all the same 😢all talk nothing done! We need more doctors & more nurses etc. better pay working conditions so how will they do This? Mental health now that is something different. Then see your doctor. Labour and tories are no different.
As an NHS staff member - it’s so reassuring and refreshing to hear Wes talk about saving the NHS. I was so happy to wake up to a government who seem focused on saving one of the best things about this country
To many managers, a typical example is Matron -Deputy Matron-Ward sister.But in reality you don’t really need a Deputy Matron, instead hire more nurses on the ground to do the job..it’s like to many Generals not enough foot soldiers..

Most staff would just say "give us more money" but that wouldn't necessarily make the NHS work any better. We need root-and-branch reform, even if the state decides its better value to outsource to the private sector. Nothing should be sacred. I wish the UK would seriously consider a more european-style hybrid system but in the absence of doing that we need to go radical with the NHS we have.
Appears to be a genuinely decent honest chap, and approachable, one of us you could say. Shallow comment to follow, (apologies in advance), he's also easy on the eye!
I have always said that the NHS needs a thorough review, because throwing money at it does not seem to have helped. I'm glad that this review is being done. It's long overdue imo.
Wes Streeting got £175k from donors linked to private health firms. If you mean the same old corruption but now it wears a red tie, then yea, adults are back in charge....
His and Labors problem in general is that people need and want change now but it will take a long time to undo the mess that’s been left behind. I hope they figure it out and that people have a bit of patience
Children's mental health is crucial. The UK should be a leading country in improving mental health among . Children, men , teenagers and Adults . There should not be a stigma

*Waiting 3 months for cancer treatment can be a death sentence. having the same issues here with Medicare in Australia.. At the end of 2022 my aunty was diagnosed with colon cancer. didn't get surgery for 3 months and didn't get treatment for a further 2 months. and now the cancer is back and has spread to her liver and it's still taking forever to start treatment. sadly, I don't think she will make it this time. she was also meant to get a hernia the size of a grapefruit removed for the last 8 months but now that has been pushed back. I'm sorry but health should be number 1 on the agenda*
I found out how bad it was last weekend. After a motorcycle accident last Sunday in south Wales, my wife laid in the road in agony for 2 hours waiting for an ambulance which after 4 calls were told make your own way there...... Broken arm and possibly left ankle. A kind resident offered to take her. With great pain we got her in the car and took her to A&E 8pm Sunday arrival. Didn't see a doc until 9.30 the next morning after the day shift started. All they have is nurses checking vitals every few hrs. A minimum of 8 ambulances outside all night which had priority for the 1 doc in department. It is not the staffs fault they were amazing but this is normal for them. Labour better sort it and hurry up about it..
We need politicians to unite . Come up with real solutions. Listen to the NHS staff and find out what they would like to be improved. Politicians should really act on what people's concerns are . There should be long term solutions. Not just a solution that will work for a couple of years . Thank you 💕💕
I think the best way to get everything moving again will be, Patient engagement and Education, if patients know that Doctors can not decide on a treatment plan, they have to wait for the results; these often take up time because Pathology has not been prioritised, in the mind of the Patient
I am a sepsis survivor after an 9 month admission. 5 of those spent in ICU, 2019 fabulous service from the NHS. Since 2019 i have had No GP appt at all so i have gone private to speak to an GP and to get treated for chest infections after sepsis. I would like to get an GP appointment but i am not holding my breath on this one. My son who is disabled has had sepsis 14 times and i must stress as an mum of a 29 year old with low immunity i have to fight the NHS to get my voice heard, Martha law just doesn't work. I also want to see Continuing healthcare review the red tape and the hoops you have to jump through its crazy 🤪 too many people are been turned down because an primary need is not identified. I believe an MP in parliament who also had sepsis wants to raise awareness and more research into this. Sepsis is on the rise its clear something is wrong here. Also the point i also want to make i had an blood test an my local surgery there was 340 appts missed this month people not turning up for Gp appointments 😑 people are screaming out for appointments and yet 340 GPs missed by patients just this month alone. Something is wrong here.

@@PoliticalViews-d8f Labour (Sorry New Tory’s or Tory lite party) will not tax the rich or business
The water companies paid dividends to the shareholders of millions prior to the election so they could claim poverty despite dumping sewage for years. Labour just put up everyone’s water bills by 44 percent
The NHS DID work upto the 70-80’s
Minimal queues and efficient then the Tory’s stated to undermine it
Starmer just brought in a team with the knowledge of running privatised service for the NHS and DWP
Probably one of the most genuine members of government I have seen speaking. Not scripted and he seems relaxed
He reminds me of that person who goes around telling people they are going to help someone just to look good, when push comes to shove no help was given and it is status quo, then they will gaslight and blame others when they get called out. It is a form of narcissism in my eyes. People who are going to do something just get on and do it, not promote what they are going to do for praise, adulations and applause. I have a narcissistic mother (aggressive), sibling (cunning) and dated (demented) one too, I see all the hallmarks of the gift of the gab.
1:15 "Good luck, with the NHS" - sounds like it's coming from someone who relies on private healthcare. I would expect most people using it to say "Fix the NHS"
Im a diabetic and cant get the drug that is a game changer. " liraglutide " it was meant for treatment for diabetics but used by private health for slimming which has caused the shortage.
@elainesmith2334 the weekly injection. I know what it is because I'm diabetic as well
I for one feel relieved that we now have a Government who wants to sort out the mess this country is in due to 14 yrs of Tory rule. We now have MPs who want their job so they can make a positive difference instead of the self-serving, get what t can out of it rabble last in.
You should have told the guy that he could NOT save it BECAUSE of the PFI repercussions of 14 years ago. As soon as Labour treasury sec announced that MORE PFI was going to be bought to bear to solve the issue, I shake my head in disbelief.
They DON'T learn - typical career politicians.
Or perhaps an entire department of educated analysts with real life experience within the NHS AND outsider perspectives, tasked specifically with this task are going to come to other conclusions that its not just some single issue causing the whole issue.
@@ParaquatSC And when Trump got in, I hoped he would employ a lot more savvy & smarter people than him to serve the American people - but I was sorely mistaken - as I will be here as well.
@@PClanner Are you saying Trump and Keir Starmer seem like similar people?
What an easy ride no questions on
how it will be funded.
Their funding model is published, you can look it up. He did touch on it, anyway. He explained how getting patients in early and administering cheaper preventative care reduces additional costs to the NHS later down the line.
Compare wes to all the tory health secretary's....night and day

Simple Solution. Keep their pay the same, go down to a four day week. Restructure Rostering. No burnouts, no unproductive periods of time.
I dont see how that could work for a 24 hour service. Who covers the rota gaps?

One things certain Wes Streeting and the Labour Party won’t change anything in the NHS .😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@colingarner6175 They’re all the same. Where will they get the money from? Like tories more tax.
@@andrewcollins8774 they already have plans, one of their ways of income is a national energy company, re nationalise the trains etc, which is income we lost under thatcher, inheritance tax on those which have had a property increase 5 fold etc, they are finding ways to get more income without taxing people anymore. They are also funding things on cracking down on tax avoidance etc.
I thought our NHS was in shipshape.
Stop treating foreigners for free.
Non Uk citizens can’t use the NHS freely anyway? Educate yourself.
@@aman8086 That’s odd. My Brother is a GP and says he is obliged to see asylum seekers and obviously refers them on should they need it. Does the ER turn them away either? Of course not so they will head there. Plus, if you’ve you’ve just been granted citizenship why should you have the same access as someone that has contributed for years/decades. New arrivals should pay for an insurance policy until they’ve paid tax for a given term. And before you say they have nothing then I suppose you’ve closed your ears to the fact they pay thousands to traffickers. You seem a bit naive. That are jumping the queue in both welfare, housing and healthcare.
Some realism is needed. How will the waiting list be eradicated? Only by hundreds more hospitals and thousands more staff - infinite resources if you like. That can’t and won’t happen though
Home office is the poisoned chalice. That’s the 1 job you don’t want. Nhs probably No 2 job to avoid. Housing maybe 3rd.
Look at all the bitter comments 😅
Unfortunately, he surrendered to the anti-Trans hysteria in Terf island :/
All talk
We've had the tories in for 14 years. Last time Labour were in the NHS was working fine.
"All talk." Labour has been in office for 6 days, what do you want exactly?
@@davecross4493 In Feb 2004 I went to my GP, I saw a consultant in April who told me I need an operation, the op. was done in July, all done and dusted in just six months.

He wants to turn it into a business and sell off the profitable parts. Look at his donors and their connections to the private health care sector.
If you want to fix the NHS, stop illegal immigration, stop paying foreign aid, and stop paying 3 billion per year to Zelensky for the indefinite future.
He needs to stop wasting money! There are 800 Diversity and Inclusion officers working in the NHS at a cost of £40 million a year!
800 out of 1.7 million
@@melissareohorn7436 - 800 less would allow £40 million to be spent elsewhere where it is needed.
Can you provide some evidence of this (don’t include the The Daily Mail as Wikipedia won’t use the as a reliable source)
@@davidpearson243 👏👏👏👍. I doubt if they know what it means😀
@@Kari_B61ex According to your calculations 800 staff out 1.5m staff are DEI ie 0.05% of the workforce at £40m cost. That £800k per post. I don’t think so🤦🏻♀️

He talks about a mandate and whilst it is a landslide in terms of seats, only 20 in every 100 people voted Labour, 40 in every 100 people did not vote for Labour (including 14 in every 100 people who voted Conservative) and 40 in every 100 people did not vote at all. That's not really a mandate is it?
Yes it is a mandate, it's a large mandate within our electoral system. That's just counting.
Still the largest vote share out of all the parties.
People voted tactically.
Ah I see you just parroting "the line". Not even your own thought.
Well I would say the papers for 5 solid weeks said "this is a Labour government at this rate" and a lot of people decided this was absolutely fine by them and as such stayed home as they felt it was a done deal. We would have seen higher voter turnout of the media narrative was "it's going to be a really close race, it could be anyone's game"
It is what it is. Watch them, monitor the statistics of the issues you care about, and see if you are happy with the result come the next election. If you like what you see you know who you should vote for.
Can’t wait to see this disaster
Already seen a disaster.
The Starmer disaster
@@TyanaAlexandra Oh my god give yourself a clap you found two words that rhyme. That is a really good job buddy!
Do you not the impression this bloke genuinely has the health of the NHS in mind? I can’t remember a single Tory politician that gave me this impression, and I really get the sense that this is a genuine turning point, for the better, in this country’s history.
@@ImElliottWolfe no I don’t
Everyone has good intentions but they like this guy promise success when the NHS is a money pit that never improves. I’d quite appreciate someone that was honest and told us how dire the situation is and will be.
But to answer your question, no this guy doesn’t seem like he knows what he’s doing.
You support an open border and still think the NHS can be saved…
they literally are improving our border security to prevent people coming in.
How many people actually pay taxes to fund the NHS vs how many unemployed, illegal immigrants it’s supporting…
Very good question. I wouldn’t be surprised if fewer than half the adult population living in the UK pay any or enough tax to pay their share of the total NHS bill.
The electorate didn't elect the Labour Party.
In fact, 2/3rds of the electorate REJECTED the Labour party.
They got fewer votes than their "disastrous" 2019 result.
He's fresh into a tough job and he's found the time to go on This Morning? It's all smoke and mirrors and for show...
he wants to save it for foreigners,run by foreigners and staffed by foreigners ,Brits will be the last in all this
Well get your ‘Brits’ to apply for the 1000s of vacancies that have been available for YEARS. They’ve always been there. So why aren’t they applying🤔
