Why does this goverment want to save money on patients through the NHS?

I've heard that the gp's are trying not to transfer patients to specialists to save the goverment's money. And they're training nurses to attend patients that should be under an specialist care, so that the goverment doesn't have to pay high salaries. Is this true?
And if it was, wouldn't this be dangerous for us?
How can we trust in our health care?

so that either they die or go private. don't really trust our present health care but nurses under pressure and doing the work of two people- double workload to cut costs and keep trust budget down, then pat on the back for the trust and sod-all for the staff.

So we can waste more money in futile wars and buy trident,which we do not need..

Sounds like you're reading a lot of ill-informed hype.

GPs are trying to ensure appropriate patient care while ensuring that treatments are affective. Make sure that a treatment is cost effective can often be a part of that - but generally at a commissioning level. Occasionally, the cost of a specific treatment can be reviewed by the GP, the PCT, SHA, etc.

Basically, the system is to ensure that patients do not get unnecessary treatment.

As for nurses being trained; well, don't forget that Nurses are highly trained healthcare professionals. Nurses Specialists (Which is what you're referring to) even more so. These professionals can easily assess and treat a range of patients appropriate to their specialist training. Take Pain Management for example; Nurse Specialists/Practitioners will work with a high degree of autonomy but under the guidance of a Doctor; and generally a consultant.

Rationing and attention to costs effective ways of working has always existing in the NHS. 拢X amount to treat X patients. It has never been a bottomless purse. That's why there're lots of issues around expensive drugs and what should, and should not be available on the NHS (Infertility treatment for example is often queried).

Not all new initiatives are bad or designed to rip off the public. So, no, this isn't dangerous for us and yes, you can trust the NHS, paying attention to your care can help with this however. Though often this is not perceived (re; trusting the NHS) to be the case due to a) media coverage of what goes wrong (and lack of coverage when things go right) and b) the NHS is not perfect - far from it in some cases. Mistakes are made and sometimes things go wrong just because they do. But this is the same with any organisation; public or private.

postmen can strike over pay and conditions. as nurses we go to work for our patients. we cant strike about pay or conditions we just got on with it for our patients sake. No one has respect for nurses anymore even though we are trying our best with no resources available to us. everything in the nhs is about money, we are pen pushers now not bedside nurses. I wonder what youd all do if we all went on strike. yet people walk onto wards and physically and verbaly abuse us and we can do nothing about it!
Dont trust the NHS trust us nurses, we are the best hope you have of decent, professional care! ive been a nurse 20 years but Im seriously thinking of getting out now as I really think that because of everyone having a go why should I bother?

Sorry xxx Hang on why am I apologising???
(sighs, gets off soap box and has another coffee before my 11 hour night shift)

The Labour government have thrown billions of pounds worth of taxpayers money at the NHS for the last ten years, and for what? 90 people dead in Kent due to unhygienic conditions, babies and mothers dying in childbirth due to a lack of midwives, hospitals being turned into battlegrounds on Saturday nights due to Labour's extended drinking hours...et al, ad infinitum.

This Labour government have made an absolutely balls-up of our once proud NHS and people need to wake up to the nightmare this country has walked into under Blair and Brown, where administrators are paid more than nurses, where chief executives get handsome pay-offs whilst midwives struggle to cope, and where the elderly and infirm are left to fester in their own sh*t due to staff shortages...

It was never this bad under the Conservatives.

So we can waste money on more office staff and the time wasters who go a & e with a broken finger nail.
I had to go to a & e recently and the amount of people who had had car accidents was amazing. None of then had any visible cuts or scratches so it led me believe they were only there so they could get a medical report to sue.

Perdon pero, o yo me equivoco o esta seccion es en espa帽ol, no?

Perhaps because there are better ways of providing health care than sending people to hospitals.

As a patient, wouldn't you prefer to be treated outside of hospital and closer in many cases to where you live?

Or perhaps you judge the state of the NHS by the number of beds or wards it has, rather than health outcomes?
