Many shocking NHS scandals have seen daylight lately yet nothing has really stuck. The health service enjoys one of those Teflon reputations – just like a non–stick frying pan everything is shiny until you get one big dent then dirt sticks to that and soon you’ve got a revolting crusty pot. That is about to happen to the NHS. Patients, I read, are being ferried to A&E in fire engines. It’s truth–time for the National Health Service.
Britain must finally admit that the mounting list of bad news is a pattern that means something, not just a series of unfortunate events. That will make us sad and angry because we are still proud that with the NHS our great postwar generation abolished the question: “Can we afford the doctor?” We need to grieve, then move on and find a way to organise a health service like other European countries do, without getting stuck on a mad, fundamentalist debate about privatisation.
