[the truth]

whilst Im aware dave cameron is more disliked by some on here than the bnp....and everyone believes he will sell off the nhs....but he claims to be targetting a very ambitious 7 day nhs , by changing staff rotas , recruiting more and scanning more people quicker...millions o scanners lie ununsed most or all of the time...I know some hospitals use their kidney scanners for 6 hours a week? meanwhile people with kidney stones lie prostrate in agony in nhs wards for months, blocking beds , taking endless medication, taking up staff time and money etc etc if they got scanned at the start all that can be avoided...this means putting millions more into the front end ie. scanning and saving way more on the back end i.e. bed blocking wasted medication, wasted staff hours .....oh and it saves more lives too

we treat cars better than people....we take cars to a garage they get scanned immediately then we go about fixing them...we don't leave cars unscanned for months and pay people to look after them in the mean time...scan them quick fix them quick...end of




Asked by a reporter if he could deliver efficiency savings and seven-day working while asking staff to work more unsociable hours, the Prime Minister cited the success of Salford Royal Hospital in Greater Manchester.

Mr Cameron said: "I saw this in operation (in Salford) and they are working increasingly on a seven-day basis.

"The scanners are working at the weekend, the MRIs are working at the weekend ... everything is working at the weekend. And as a result, actually, they've been able to reduce their costs and provide a better service.

"So it is absolutely the right vision for the NHS.

"Will it be easy to achieve? Of course not. Will it require a lot of hard work to put it in place? Yes, it will.

"But it's definitely the right ambition and people shouldn't automatically assume that working something on a seven-day-a-week basis means it's more expensive.

"After all, huge amounts of taxpayers' money have been put into the CAT scanners and the MRI scanners and doesn't it make sense to ensure they are being used on a whole-week basis?"


The unions seem sceptical, they'll want him to honour weekend increased pay rates, but as he says savings could ultimately be made in the long run and lives saved, simply by finding out whats wrong with everyone far earlier....One reply to his plans creased me, we will agree to this if all politicians work a 7 day week and take a pay freeze for a decade etc But the point isn't party political , nor do we know if a 7 day week is ever achievable, but the ambition to get these machines working far more often may be achievable and may save masses of patients lives and saving billions on the back end
