Kit YatesHow long do we just keep accepting that people are dying because of the crisis in our NHS?
How can we hold our politicians accountable?
We need to find a way.

The biggest thing for me is this isn't a new problem - it's an old problem that's getting worse. (I consulted with ambulance services across the world until about 5 years ago).
Since they were consolidated, the UK services have run huge volumes with, relatively, few resources. Most the coped and were very efficient. But were susceptible to things like hospital delays.
But they were always on a knife-edge. I suspect things have gotten a lot worse since I've been out of it.
Phil@geoff332 @kityates we need to work out how to have people vote for great healthcare, not for personalities.
As I understand it, the South Korean electorate judge governments by healthcare metrics. I'd love to hear input from somebody that has actually experienced this, and how it works.
I know we are culturally different, but maybe for on once we could adopt something good from elsewhere!
