Hey Dr. Ollie. I am from California, and yes I constantly hear how our healthcare system is terrible here in the US. We all know this too, haha. I'm taking a class on healthcare policy and my assignment is to compare the NHS to the US Healthcare system. Thanks for breaking it down into a simple mainstream explanation. I had no understanding how NHS worked, but I do now thanks to your video. I wish we would adopt a similar system to yours, but the Affordable Care Act, despite its flaws has been the best of the worst we have been. Take care!
Please please, don't overlook how the NHS we had has slowly been restructured so now what we have is California's very own Kaiser Permanente HMOs/ACOs, maybe starting with a short video: ruclips.net/video/7vjoR7LnDqU/видео.html
The NHS is surprisingly getting even closer to the US healthcare model via privatisation of concurrent governments. I do sort of hope it never ends up fully privatised where healthcare - and even ambulances cost you to have to pay as that's what the NHS wasn't set up to do but we're heading that way.
@@alice1374Yes...Tories plan for NHS ahead. Steps : 1. Privatisation of hospitals build with public money 2. More profits for corporate and CEO 3. To maximise profit , create a glut of healthcare staff and pay as less and as cheap you can. 4. But greed is not yet finished. Now start raising Price of services to astronomical proportions eventually leading to US healthcare system !!
@@rj14053 Indeed, and these astonishing people from Labour are also continuing it as well. We have two Tory parties. I suppose three if you count the LD's since they have kept their pledge of privatisation but in the sense of public benefit so the public come first before profits that's how privatisation could work properly not in the current system though
Our NHS is clearly NOT WORKING!!! people are not being treated in a timely manner and waiting lists are horrendous, ambulance services are hopeless, not coming to people when they need them, older people cannot leave hospitals when they are better as there is nowhere for them to go, there are HUGE queues at A and E depts as sick people have to wait sometimes for DAYS waiting to be seen, etc etc etc.. Who is repairing all these faults?
I’m a 47 year old former PCN CD. Yeah, watching and learning here. Ok- watched the video. A great video for someone who gets to the interview stage after the usual exaggerations on a UCAS form.

It is now eight years since health & social care was delegated to Greater Manchester with a £6.3bn budget. The concept of delegation is that there is some responsibility is given to GM to manage that money. Normally, when organisations come together their immediate objective is to seek quick wins and then seek synergies to save money to plough back to improve services and increase pay. There should also be an obligation to report back to Greater Manchester residents yet we have not received performance reports. We must remind ourselves that Greater Manchester had a referendum on whether we would like to have a Mayor and the Labour majority voted against and one was imposed the Mayor and we now have Andy Burnham. Attention needs to be drawn to the fact that in the City of Manchester the councillors are all Labour except two Greens and one Liberal Democrat - no Conservatives! Whilst most councils are twinned with European cities and towns, the City of Manchester had links at the beginning of 2022 only with St. Petersburg, Wuhan and Chemnitz which was in East Germany. The link with St. Petersburg was severed by pressure from the Ukrainians due to the invasion. Sadly, there is no information on any representations made with their St. Petersburg friends! St. Petersburg is Putin’s home town and East Germany was where Putin worked for the KGB. The focus of accountability needs to be shifted significantly to the GM Labour leadership. Whilst devolution has been achieved, accountability has not. What were their motives in seeking devolution if they did not have a vision for improvement? The Party should be agree to good governance with openness and accountability. We need to hear about savings being achieved from synergies and improvements including with a reduction in administrators and PR staff so that the money can be recycled to improve services and salaries. Let's have a meaningful and objective discussion to improve health and social care in Greater Manchester and throughout the UK.
Hey Dr. Ollie. Thank you for this breakdown, maybe you could do another video looking at the intersectionality of the care agencies and the NHS, the role of domiciliary carers and how they, the carers, work with and alongside the NHS for patient care and support.
Hey thanks for the wonderful video! Could you explain the new Integrated Care board/ system that has been adopted? How did it replace the CCG? Which organisation commissions general practise?
Really helpful! I have an interview coming up (not as a practitioner, but analyst), so thank you. Also, it would be great if you could do a video on what hospital trusts are, as there aren't any of those on RUclips.
This is absolutely brilliant. I am hoping to use this with our staff to help them understand better the basis and plans for the move into the ICS. Thanks so much.
It's important to know that the origins of "Integrated Care"'s fixation on reducing hospital use and encouraging "efficiency" (as in efficiency savings, meaning cuts) with financial incentives is corporate, has come straight from the US over many years, and has been pushed by the corporations themselves. Please give this 10 minute, evidenced video a watch: ruclips.net/video/7vjoR7LnDqU/видео.html
Hey Dr Ollie, just began as Macmillan's Engagement Lead in Scotland. Although you've covered England, I've found this to be a great video to learn from
Hi Dr Ollie. Can you please guide me on how to prepare for my upcoming interview for the position of Speciality doctor crisis resolution and home treatment team Milton Keynes NHS Foundation Trust. Thank you.
It's an interesting idea Mark. Although it could provide a short term boost in revenue, I think the negative impact of policies like these would far outweigh the benefits. If people are afraid to come to the doctors because they think they might get fined we may miss important diseases in people who otherwise would have presented. I also think it would be incredibly difficult to draw the line as to what we should fine and what we shouldn't. Should we fine someone who turns up to A&E drunk? What about if they've broken their wrist because they fell over when they were drunk? How about if the reason they're drinking is because of undiagnosed depression? You get my drift, but it's certainly an interesting area of debate.
Your having a laugh aren't you? The NHS? Its a complete and utter shambles. Just reading one punter saying that the usa think that the uk is lucky to have it, he's right, lucky that we have it and they don't

Why don't you break it down by the quangos and outside 'care providers' and money managers (like Kaiser Permante and KPMG) that keep services trim and on a shoestring budget (and effectively work to decrease services, privatise the NHS) so they can make themselves PROFIT at the servicer user and taxpayer's expense. 'Integrated care systems' = the NHS being increasingly stealthily privately owned by American companies (such as the mental health side) and increasingly commercial. This breakdown only discusses the veneer of how the NHS is organised. The deeper analysis is way more politically alarming. But I guess that's not what this channel is for.
Absolutely agree with you. I have been doing a lot of digging into the background of the people in my local Integrated Care Board and many of them are in finance or have a background in private healthcare. These are the people who will decide what services are offered and what gets handed over to private companies. They can also decide to start charging for services. As far as I can tell, this new Health and Social Care Act 2022 is the last nail in the coffin for the NHS. The NHS is becoming nothing but a brand which private companies can stealthily operate under. I strongly suggest that people start digging into the background of the people on their local ICB and do everything they can to make that information public. No one voted for this. We have no say in who is appointed to the ICB. Integrated Care Boards are just a rebrand of the USA’s Accountable Care Organisations. Also, my local service has just replaced their entire computer system with a system made by a company called Epic. A company from the USA. This system not only allows for the collection of analytics, but also enables hospitals to start charging for services. I suspect they will use the analytics to work out which services they can get away with cutting and privatising.
@@woody1646 Have you seen how the 2022 act merely rubber-stamped the existing changes Dr Ollie refers to in the Long Term Plan, but as part of a move to ACOs/HMOs which have run throughout the 3 decades of privatisation legislation and policy? ruclips.net/video/7vjoR7LnDqU/видео.html
The NHS is too many powerpoint presentations with at best a 10% success rate of well patients. Literally like the police, put their uniforms on, drive around a bit then clock off, with nothing inbetween. Shameful blaggards. Its not a money problem, its a competence problem.
Yes Ollie, but why can't I see a doctor? And in the meantime while you are working out your explanation, who paid you and how much to talk all this crap?

Really good!
Thank you! 😊
This is out of date now. CCGs ceased to exist from 01 July 2022. Replaced by Integrated Care Boards- ICBs
The model was destroyed by Thatcher's obsession with control from central government.
Just a heads up this is now wrong, CCGS have been replaced by integrated care boards since 2022
Do you think charging drunk and drug cases, charging people for phoney AE/GP visits could help the NHS?
It's an interesting idea Mark. Although it could provide a short term boost in revenue, I think the negative impact of policies like these would far outweigh the benefits.
If people are afraid to come to the doctors because they think they might get fined we may miss important diseases in people who otherwise would have presented. I also think it would be incredibly difficult to draw the line as to what we should fine and what we shouldn't.

The GP pays for toilet roll in the surgery, the Consultant doesn't. Hospital gets tariffs for activity, GPs don't. Understand that.
