The NHS Needs Urgent Reform

Despite record extra funding in recent years, NHS healthcare outcomes have declined. While still free at the point of delivery, our healthcare needs major reforms to improve results and enjoy zero waiting lists.

Critical reforms needed in the first 100 days:

• End Doctor and Nurse Shortages
  All frontline NHS and social care staff to pay zero basic rate tax for 3 years. This will help retain existing staff and attract many who have left to return. End training caps for all UK medical students. Write off student fees pro rata per year over 10 years of NHS service for all doctors, nurses and medical staffLeave a Comment
• Use Independent Healthcare Capacity
  We will harness independent and not-for-profit health provision in the UK and overseas.Leave a Comment
• Tax Relief of 20% on all Private Healthcare and Insurance
  This will improve care for all by relieving pressure on the NHS. Those who rely on the NHS will enjoy faster, better care. Independent healthcare capacity will grow rapidly, providing competition and reducing costs. Leave a Comment
• Put Patients in Charge With a New NHS Voucher Scheme
  NHS Patients will receive a voucher for private treatment if they can’t see a GP within 3 days. For a consultant it would be 3 weeks. For an operation, 9 weeks. Services will always be free at the point of use. Leave a Comment
• Improve Efficiency. Cut Waste and Unnecessary Managers
  Operating theatres must be open on weekends. Rotas must be planned further in advance. Nail down better prices using economies of scale. Review all NHS Private Finance Contracts for significant savings potential. Charge those who fail to attend medical appointments without notice. Abolish the NHS Race and Health Observatory.Leave a Comment
• Save A&E
  Cut waiting times with a campaign of ‘Pharmacy First, GP Second, A&E Last’. We will offer tax incentives for new pharmacies and those who employ more staff to assist in relieving pressure on A&E.Leave a Comment
• Excess Deaths and Vaccine Harms Public Inquiry
  Excess deaths are nearly as high as they were during the Covid pandemic. Young people are over-represented.Leave a Comment
