If you’re desperate you can get an MRI done privately for about £150.
Get the results in a day or two from memory.

Actually it wasn't 40 new hospitals as only 4 or 5 were what most sensible people would regard as a new hospital.
Refurbishment of an A&E department doesn't count and, anyway, the entire project is now on the NAO red list.

"Tax take is an all.time high then what us being done with it?"
In 2022/23, the government spent nearly £1.2 trillion.
https://ifs.org.uk/taxlab/taxlab-key-questions/what-does-government-spend-money
Health, takes 19.3%, state pensions 12% and social security 10.2%. Health spending is near it's highest ever level as a proportion of GDP (dropped slightly from its 2021/22 peak).
Hope you get the MRI scan soon. I had one late November. Came through in under 6 weeks, was done on a Sunday (NHS).

That was just one example of the mismanagement of the NHS, Debs. Giving people ridiculously high paid jobs for providing zero of actual worth.
Anyone who knows someone on the inside knows what's going on, it's a fucking shambles from top to bottom.

I don't think you'll find many putting the non-dancing front line staff down here.
Not sure why you're going down that route.

Eerie thanks for that valuable contribution from a bloke who thinks hiring a diversity officer for 100k is why the NHS is struggling.
Mike that will.only be managers and you have to ask.who.is appointing so.many and why? When it comes to frontline staff the government are trying to.entuce many of them.out if retirement which kind of turns your jobs for life argument in.its head

"Quite right the NHS shouldn't be turning a profit."
Equally, it shouldn't be run as a job-for-life meal ticket by and for certain groups of people.

Quite right the NHS shouldn't be turning a profit. In whose interests is it being poorly managed? Who runs hospitals? Trusts
..and who runs trusts and employs those managers?

"Lee the NHS is losing so.much through back door privatisation. Companies sucking out profits "
Complete and utter crap, as someone whose partner has worked as a nurse for years, lives by a hospital and trains a number of people who work there.
The issue is poor management by people who are happy to spend other peoples money, knowing the don't need to turn a profit. I lose count of the ridiculous vanity projects and money wasted.All across the board.

When the NHS weigh out around £100k a year for roles like Diversity Director, coupled with the fact they have nearly a million new patients every year, is it any fucking wonder it can't cope?
It's shocking mismanaged, which is the main problem, and it now has far too many people to treat. The end

OK, let's just take a single example within the NHS.
How long does it take to plan, build, equip and staff a new hospital, and what criteria should they use to guide them?

Mike you talk.like you know shit but really don't. Private companies pretty much run NHS Trusts now. Only the very naive think.that they are going to give a flying shit about ethics, and honouring contracts especially if they can.line up lucrative jobs for themselves on the boards ofbtbese companies further down the line.

Goose the people that heralded it the NHS in then are the ones most dependant on it now. Yes of course there have been changes but one if those as you rightly identify is people are living longer. Maybe Boris could have wiped out a few more if the oldies had he been allowed to stick.around longer eh?
Mike seems to think the elderly. are shoved to the back of the queue, they are not. A massive problem though is that many don't need to be in hospital but hospitals cannot discharge them.becauae the social care system.is in such a mess.

The NHS needs to get shot of all it's own money-sucking middlemen before even thinking about telling private companies how to structure their service delivery and still generate a profit; if these companies can deliver the same services for 25% less then it would be criminal for the NHS to not use them.
It's up to the NHS to ensure such companies comply with NHS medical and staffing ethics prior to awarding such contracts.
