Bulletguy Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 This seems to be a carry over mantra from the other PM's brief appearance. Now this weeks PM has adopted it but his first attempt at some PR work went down like a lead balloon! Maybe they should send a lettuce out for difficult jobs.

Barryd999 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 LOL! Nice one, the Tories really should stay away from hospitals. Apparently it was a13 hour wait at our nearest A&E the other day and thats not unusual. They are achieving privatisation by stealth really. The majority of people I know now have stuff done privately as they can no longer rely on the NHS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the former, as to the latter a relative of mine whose wife was admitted to a private hospital with an aneurism, her husband took her out of their care after they'd wasted three valuable days pissing around and had her admitted to the local NHS. They saved her life but she was wheelchair bound as a result of the delay by the private hospital. Her operation was done at the NHS hospital by a surgeon who then claimed to BUPA it was done privately. My cousins husband was livid and informed BUPA to stop the surgeon being paid out.

John52 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Have you considered getting it done in Scotland? Private fees are lower up here because you can still get NHS treatment (because of your money Sunak sends us bribe us not to vote for independence, and maintain his empire at your expense) 'For example, a hip replacement cost £8,110 at the Spire Murrayfield in Edinburgh but £15,050 at the Spire Harpenden in Hertfordshire.' https://www.theguardian.com/money/2020/oct/10/covid-uk-fund-own-operations-private-for-knee-hip-cataract-operations-pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I assume you would approve of THEM overcharging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spire are just following Sunak's example by overcharging in England to subsidise Scotland. Spire wouldn't get away with charging English prices in Scotland because we can still get NHS treatment. Personally I wish Sunak wouldn't send us your money. Because then we would have voted to be free of Westminster Government Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Lineker Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Seeing as John52 has chosen to ignore my question, we can only assume that John52 is as Scottish as the average Wigonite, or what people from Wigan are known as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebishbus Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Nope wrong again John 52. My wife waited 2 months after the initial consultation at Spire Parkway Solihull before Covid . I had a delay because of the Covid restrictions but then both knees done within 4 months of each other last year. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
