Will Boris treat the NHS and Staff differently in future?
 

Do you reckon this pandemic and his personal battle with it will make him realise how vital the NHS is to our country or will he forget about them?

Poll??

I hope he does realise this. I think 75% chance he will. They did save his life.

He’ll pretend to, but he’ll allow his cabinet to vote against him so he keeps the NHS down but doesn’t get the blame

Nope

Things are changing, things wI'll be different. .if we are lucky it may be there in five years to worry about.

This

I'm sure he already knew how important they are .

... this

I think Boris has done a splendid job since getting the main job .... so I don’t know why everyone is doubting that he’ll do his very best for the NHS ... he was making positive changes BEFORE this cursed virus surfaced .
It’s also ridiculous for so many to lay the blame of the NHS underfunding at Boris’s feet .

The only thing that may hamper the NHS from getting a decent increase is that we are gonna be nearly bankrupt for the next few generations ... I’ve even heard a rumour that our bladdy pensions ( now and in the future ) maybe effected :(

I just saw the Kier Starmer saying that I’d Labour get in next time they will won’t hesitate to spend as we can’t have another decade of austerity !!

I had such high hopes for this guy before he got the leadership but now he’s just a typical bull sitting politician

Let's hope the fat cats at the top of the NHS also use the funds they are given wisely instead of squandering it as in the past, hope they look after their staff and not everything is about money,It needs to be managed properly and money going to where its needed,not to make those at the top richer, not everything can be blamed on the PM?

You’d hope, but we’ll see.

They saved my life, they’re doing fine, they don’t need more money will be his attitude

No chance. I bet he doesnt even remember the names of his nurses.

No. They'll use the upcoming crash to justify harder austerity than we've ever seen before, the NHS will be dismantled ("Sorry, no choice, it wasn't us it was the Covids") and the most vulnerable in society will be left in the dust. They have the perfect scapegoat now, and they will use it.

If you are correct I will hang my head I shame.

No chance. It will be same old after all this clears. If anything there will be even more cuts due to the debt and they will once again try find a way to make villains out of those pesky immigrants who are dying for us right now.

Sadly this.

I'd like to think things will change but I doubt it :bored:

God knows... I was disappointed that he seemed to be making some kind of statement about the care he recieved from nurses from outside the EU, why did where they came from matter how was that a factor in the quality of care he recieved. It only went to show we are not producing enough qualified nurses tbh.

one he said was from portugal, in the EU

Yes Jenny from NZ and Luis from Portugal,i thought he was making the point about migrants making a positive contribution which is why he mentioned where they were from, he also reeled off some very English sounding names

They cut the nursing bursary and replaced it with a loan... Who is going to go £30k into debt for a £13 an hour starting salary? And even fewer now that we know how nurses will be treated in a crisis - like soldiers/cannon fodder whilst justifying it by calling them heroes and clapping. Meh.

Nasty Johnson PM

Its Boris who has just restored the bursary after it was removed by Osborne

The bursary is back for NHS England anyway

It was actually scrapped under Cameron (and the real force behind it was Osborne). Seems like a lifetime ago.

It was partly restored but at a lesser level.
