THE WELFARE OF OUR PATIENTS IS AT STAKE
So - there was a boat race between a Japanese crew and NHS. Both sides practice long and hard. The Japanese won by a mile. So the NHS faced with this problem set up a working party. The working party report that the Japanese crew had 8 people rowing and 1 steering, and the NHS crew had 8 people steering and 1 rowing. So they brought in management consultants who confirmed the diagnosis. They suggested that the NHS crew should be completely restructured with 3 Assistant Steering Managers, 3 Deputy Steering Managers, a Director of Steering Services, and a rower incentivised to row. They had another race. They lost by 2 miles. They laid off the rower for poor performance. They sold off the boat.
(Tony Benn 1988)
No society can legitimately call itself civilized if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means. - Aneurin Bevan 1952
You can always ‘pass by on the other side (refuse care if unable to pay). That may be sound economics. It could not be worse morals. A Bevan
The essence of a NHS is that the rich & the poor are treated alike, that poverty is not a disability, & wealth is not advantaged. Nye Bevan
If the job is to be done [A National Health Service], the state must accept financial responsibility. Aneurin Bevan 1952
