How good is the NHS, really? That is the question this book seeks
to answer, as the health service emerges from the gravest crisis in
its history with more money - but greater challenges - than ever
before. During the pandemic, voters made extraordinary sacrifices
to save the NHS from collapse. Thanks to these efforts and the
dedication and bravery of the NHS workforce, hospitals were able to
treat patients with coronavirus, but millions of others lost out.
Now an exhausted and depleted NHS workforce faces a huge backlog.
The gap between supply and demand for publicly funded healthcare
has never been so wide. With record numbers waiting for treatment,
the politicians' answer has been to spend ever more taxpayers'
money. The question is whether throwing cash at the problem will
work. Every day, millions of patients receive care that is fair,
good or outstanding. In keeping with Nye Bevan's founding
principles, the same treatment is available to rich and poor, free
at the point of need. Public support for the concept remains
overwhelming. Yet for every positive NHS experience there are
negatives: care that is substandard, disjointed and arrives too
late. A cult of secrecy surrounds errors and failings. Politicians
on all sides dissemble and lie. This book seeks to strip away the
spin and uncover the true state of the NHS: the good, the bad and
the ugly. It explores an increasingly urgent question: in an era of
pandemics, can the NHS provide the quality of service patients
deserve?
