Britain has given two world class achievements to the world, the first is the Royal Navy. Why do I say this , well because without the Royal Navy much of the world would never have been discovered as quickly as it has been, and the British Empire would never have survived. In fact Britain would never have survived as the Royal Navy has been responsible for centuries for the protection of our shores.
The second thing that Britain has given to the world is the National Heath Service.
I am a passionate supporter of the NHS because it is a basic human right to have access to free point of contact health care. If we are not careful we will lose that.
Governments have to take a long term view, something that was forgotten the day the NHS was unveiled and since them both left and right have used it as a ping pong ball to appease voters and fool the public.
We have allowed it to be open to abuse of poor management, poor purchasing and poor investment. We forgot that the prevention is better than cure and that education is the key to change.
This present administration has to make a long term commitment to the NHS rather than thinking about the next election. I would be surprised if this happens yet I still believe that it is possible to make the NHS great again.
