More, but to a point where it is affordable and still receives some government funding
@96Q2FHM2yrs2Y
The healthcare system right now is useless unless you are about to die. Needs more money and care about people not numbers. It's a computer system that has lost all humanity
@96PQF932yrs2Y
The system is in desperate need of revision
Less but improve the quality of the healthcare services.
@965LYT72yrs2Y
There should be a sliding scale
@962RHGV2yrs2Y
certain sectors could be made private but still affordable or free of cost
@95YM953Libertarian3yrs3Y
Reform of the system is required this does not mean more privatisation. Funding is now adequate but needs to be used more effectively.
@95XC9MF3yrs3Y
Hospital and health care services should be provided for free to UK citizens, with the capability to transfer patients into the private sector where necessary to improve NHS waiting times and the quality of health care provided
@95TBYXB3yrs3Y
fully nationalise NHS but allow private health services to be set up, so that the people have option to choose
@95LN5V83yrs3Y
Slightly more to tide things over for now
@95JCCFGConservative3yrs3Y
Keep NHS hospitals and services public and end free at the point of service while developing a private healthcare system
@95DQ8ZB3yrs3Y
More if it maintains quality and reduces costs
@95C8GX83yrs3Y
@95BQTSGConservative3yrs3Y
Implement the Beveridge report
@94CMGT3Liberal Democrat3yrs3Y
Flat charge with means tested additional charges
@947TWZC3yrs3Y
More in order to make the NHS more efficient and less waiting times
@947TQXR3yrs3Y
More, public funded, private delivery
@9447PFPLiberal Democrat3yrs3Y
Whatever policy strikes the right balance between fair access, affordability, and quality
@93YZ7R2Liberal Democrat3yrs3Y
Depends on what maximizes operational efficiency whilst supporting local workforces
Entire system needs overhaul in 21st century
@93X5QWN3yrs3Y
More but keep government funding as it is
@93QFSC73yrs3Y
Like I said the nhs deserves more funding and recognition for what they have done especially during the pandemic
@93MNVW53yrs3Y
Reduce funding, reduce non-clinical staff, review wasteful purchasing police
@93K98CQ3yrs3Y
Yes, but you shouldn’t remove access to free/public healthcare.
@93K8WKB3yrs3Y
Should be an element of means testing
@93GT7XN3yrs3Y
Keep current level but provide more funding
@93FR3HS3yrs3Y
private owned approach to insurance with price caps
@93F3CC53yrs3Y
Healthcare should be for everyone
@93DHDFW3yrs3Y
More, allow more privatisation but make sure public hospitals still receive an adequate funding.
@93CWHJG3yrs3Y
Should have more introduced yet not fully dominate
@93CR24X3yrs3Y
Money should be better spent within the NHS and there should be more accountability for the wasting of funding within government. Privatisation is not the solution as it only benefits those who can afford it and will lead to the deprivation of quality of service for the few
@93BYH563yrs3Y
Yes but provide a means-tested access to free healthcare
@92SH78C3yrs3Y
Less but only if it clearly improves efficiency or effectiveness and has strong regulatory oversight
@92RCNS53yrs3Y
Less privatisation, reenforce better management and cost effectiveness, spend less on foreign donations and donate stocks of supplies due to be removed from service dues to going out of date.
@92QSTSS3yrs3Y
Give people the choice to opt in to a policy that is fully controlled by the government. People that choose to not be included have to pay for service.
@92QKLL43yrs3Y
Less, fix the system and the removal of ineffective and ineffective trust leadership, management, workers on the ground, improve the process with teams targeted to bring positive change at all levels and patient care, the system is corrupt.
@92PQR853yrs3Y
More privatisation but subsidising individual private medical aids (Dutch system)
@92NBQLG3yrs3Y
There should be more, as long as they are not too expensive
@92MZV7N3yrs3Y
More, as long as public healthcare has sufficient funding to function effectively
@92LXPFW3yrs3Y
They should have 2 separate systems - Half privatised and half the current system but invest a lot more money into it.
The NHS is cripplingly horrendous! In every way! It needs a HUGE change!
We need more UK born doctors too! So more money is needed to get people to want to work in the industry.
@92LTJDP3yrs3Y
New hybrid system, overhaul
@92LKR653yrs3Y
@92JLLL7Conservative3yrs3Y
I am happy with the current level but increase funding for all health services
@92H4XNQ3yrs3Y
Don’t know what that means
@92FXKQN3yrs3Y
Said above that everything needs to be rebuilt
@92CFKM63yrs3Y
I do not believe it should be more privatise but funding should be applied more efficiently. everyone should be entitled to basic health treatment.
@925GTCW3yrs3Y
Some things should be means tested
@925CWK23yrs3Y
All healthcare should be free
@92343CF3yrs3Y
Remove the gp as gatekeeper to more advanced care. But don't follow the US insurance centred model.
@8Z34VHF3yrs3Y
Neither, enact a more stringent budget for purchasing equipment whilst raising nurses salaries and hiring less agency staff.
@8Z2ZGDQ3yrs3Y
Increase scrutiny for public spending on equipment, increase nurse pay and reduce use of agency nurses.
@8Z2Z8BN3yrs3Y
Copy Korea's healthcare system
@8YTBNQY3yrs3Y
More where the service can be improved, less where it is currently sub-standard. Any privatisation should be done via contracts and not on a permanent basis. Also introduce a small NI rebate for those who choose to go fully private
@8YS62W43yrs3Y
Less, but operate more efficiently and effectively
@8YMPBB43yrs3Y
More if it improves availability of services
@8YJ3JSB3yrs3Y
more privatisation where it can be shown to increase quality and reduce costs - ideally a quasi privatised system
@8YH3D693yrs3Y
more but only where it can increase choice and competition
@8YG3RZG3yrs3Y
Less, and there should be an option to opt-out of National Insurance and you would have to pay for healthcare.
@8YDVK4T3yrs3Y
Certain things like doctor appointments missed should be billed.
@8Y9M9HT3yrs3Y
Free at the point of delivery but irrelevant who delivers it
@8Y69MP93yrs3Y
More, but it should be medical professional led and through the form of Community Interest Companies as updated with lessons from the B-Corp movement.
@8Y5YTX73yrs3Y
Less, but the NHS needs reform
@8Y5QDBX3yrs3Y
European style social insurance scheme free at point of use
@Bethrachel3yrs3Y
Less, should be more government funding and part that are privatised should be regulated
@8Y43Y5K3yrs3Y
Privatise the system for people who are employed. It should be a law that PMI is part of every employee’s benefits package.
@8Y39SH93yrs3Y
Leave it as it is, but more staff are required to keep health settings afloat
@8Y2Y8TV3yrs3Y
If privatisation can help the wealthy contribute extra that can be fed back in to the NHS, I think everyone would benefit. Yes, the wealthy would have an improved private health care, however the costs transferred would ensure everyone at least has health care.
@8XWMTXY3yrs3Y
NHS overhaul to stop wasting our money
@8XWHGM73yrs3Y
Again I care about service so whatever outcome is for the best service is the one I want
@8XVBH2F3yrs3Y
Yes but make the healthcare for private hospitals more affordable for the average wage family
@8XQ9GCSConservative3yrs3Y
More if it increases quality and decreases cost
@8XM7KQP3yrs3Y
Foreigners pay for their own healthcare British citizdns deserve free right
@8XK4XGQ3yrs3Y
Only privatise a small margin of the health industry
@StellaUK3yrs3Y
People should understand how to cure themselves
@8XF657QConservative3yrs3Y
Move towards a singapore style healthcare system
@8XCRLHF3yrs3Y
I think it should stay the same.
@8X4L2MX3yrs3Y
I still don’t know if it’s a good idea
@8X26NG63yrs3Y
Less but everyone should have an equal opportunity to the best treatments regardless of whether or not the could pay
@8WRYKMJLiberal Democrat3yrs3Y
Circumstance. A man walks in and has just shot 2 rounds of heron, on deaths door. Naturally NHS would go to save the person the most at risk. I believe that depending on accident. Which i know is not likely but there should be more effort
@8WKSX88Count Binface3yrs3Y
There should be options for both
@8W7TMV63yrs3Y
The German insurance system should be used .
@8W5LQQYConservative4yrs4Y
Rich people shouldn’t be allowed to use nhs
@8VR4PYX4yrs4Y
Less, however the option of private should be available
@8VDJRYG4yrs4Y
make space for more young people with cronical conditions but don't disregard elders probolems for the excuse for being old
@8V9SQH94yrs4Y
More, and switch to a Singaporean Style Healthcare System
@8TYCBQQ4yrs4Y
I am in favour of privatisation where it improves efficiency and quality, however it should not rule out healthcare for people, it should never be unaffordable for the individual.
@8TVB3D34yrs4Y
People should not be driven to pay for healthcare. Any private healthcare a person receives should be deducted from their taxes as this is a failure of the public sector.
@8TNCS6D4yrs4Y
more, provided they are integrated cooperative organisation working on a not for profit basis.
@8THGHD54yrs4Y
Similar to above, where services can be improved, more.
@8TBPG4J4yrs4Y
More, but it should be affordable.
@8TBNKQ94yrs4Y
More, but only when it can increase quality
@8TBDKJX4yrs4Y
Less, and there should be no privatisation of the healthcare industry and provide more government funding
@8T9KKC54yrs4Y
Depends on circumstances on a case by case basis.
More because come a crisis, the government will have less on their hands
@8SV8J6M4yrs4Y
Less privatisation of hospital, but more privatisation of healthcare services if there will be increased quality.
