Connect Health in partnership with NHS

I am paddyann

Rowan Atkinson's car???

I know how much my house is worth, we just had it valued. However, it is reall only worth what someone will pay for it.

I’ve been waiting nearly three years in Scotland’s health system. I don’t give a fig for what-aboutery regarding Johnson/Sunak/Truss’s constituencies.

What are you trying to prove paddyann54, I don’t understand? That in one week the A&E waiting times in Scotland were better than in other parts of of the UK? I’m not having a go at the Scottish healthcare system, but one swallow doesn’t make a summer - you have to look at all the parameters for different services over a long period to be able to judge between different systems. If, on a wide range of parameters over a period of at least a year the performance of the Scottish healthcare system is the best then you’ve proved your case.

n the week ending 7 August 2022, demand at Scotland’s A&E departments climbed from 24 699 to 24 731.

Despite that 67.9% were seen in 4 hours, up from 66.3% and 65% in the previous two weeks.

Those waiting over 8 hours fell from 2 798 to 2 541 and those waiting over 12 hours fell from 1 040 to 916.

Only Scotland publishes weekly figures but in July, the figure was only 57%. For the local health trusts in the constituencies of Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, the figures were positively ‘third world’ at 47.5%, 39.3% and 45.8% (Darlington is nearest). Local MPs have a duty to constituents to do something about this. Sturgeon’s local hospitals in Glasgow did 68.8%.

Just saw this. Might explain our colossal level of drugs deaths. Far in excess of anywhere in Europe. Nicola's response ,' I took my eye off the ball'. ?

Aveline

Of course the lowest life expectancy in Europe has nothing to do with the wonderful Scottish NHS or other aspects of life in SNP run Scotland Paddyann?

Scotland doesn’t have the lowest life expectancy at birth in Europe Aveline, I think you mean lowest life expectancy of the UK nations - although if you break it down by local authority area the lowest male healthy life expectancy at birth is actually Blackpool (53.7 years), followed by Belfast (54.4 years) and Glasgow (54.6 years). Quite shocking figures. Life expectancy is as much to do with lifestyle choices as healthcare provision though, as I’m sure you know, and wealthier areas are populated by people who make healthier lifestyle choices. All governments can do is to tax unhealthy habits and promote healthy ones - by the time people need NHS care they are usually already unhealthy.

There is a map on the Connect Health website showing their locations. www.connecthealth.co.uk/patient-information

Could very well be Alie

Is ConnectHealth the same sort of company as 'HealthShare' (in Oxfordshire) which I've given up on? It sounds very similar!

Maybe people will at last wake up!!!

I've been referred to similar for severe plantar fascitis. I'm not able to walk. GP told me to self refer for an online group consultation (!) with a physio. 8 week wait. 3 months before the 2nd group consultation.

It's almost not worth it.

Interesting link Casdon. Look at the list on the right ... digital health, artificial intelligence, telehealth - that's the direction healthcare is heading.

PS. Why are only places in the north of England listed?

Frustratingly you can only see England’s data without signing up growstuff. To see the different areas of England, go to the chart marked ‘The best locations to live in the UK for healthcare’, and you can change pages at the bottom of the chart. The search bar to change the page to Scotland, Wales or NI doesn’t work for me - but as the headline was UK, I assume that’s what they mean. It does look quite a good comparison tool.

This is a list of places where Connect Health operate:

I don't know if it's up-to-date.

paddyann if you are looking at the UK regionally rather than by countries of the UK, then some regions of England have performed far better than others and in fact better than Scotland.
Wales is, I think, not doing well at all but some regions may be better than others here.

The North East and Yorkshire came out top of all regions, I believe.

There’s very little evidence about comparative performance of the four nations’ healthcare systems in the last five years, it’s all anecdote and limited measurement to suit the organisation that’s written it. There’s lots of political rhetoric saying x country is better than y country, but all using very limited parameters to suit the political motive.

This is the best I could find, which indicates that at a UK wide level, the best care is actually provided in the North East of England.

If anybody can find anything more comprehensive, not written for political motives, I’d love to see it.

Thanks for all the input, to be honest it’s 7 mths too late now I should of just bit the bullet and paid to see a physio but sadly that’s exactly what this Tory government wants me to do.

Paddyann. only peopled by the unemployed ,ill educated or ill informed as often said on here. A very unfair comment in my opinion, especially as the thread is to do with Connect Health, the unavailability of services within the NHS and not with the SNP or Independence.

Yes, there are more and more services being outsourced which is privatisation by stealth, and of course, so many treatments are no longer available anywhere on the NHS. I have recently had need of a physio and didn't even bother trying to see my GP, just booked and paid for it privately, but not everyone is fiscally or physically able to do so. This country is sleep walking into the privatisation of all public services, and going by the magnificent job that the energy and water companies have made of it, we need to be very afraid, and stop voting for the party which is doing it.

Scotland has the best performing NHS in the UK? That’s the biggest laugh I’ve had for months. I’ve been waiting for treatment and an operation from the Scottish NHS since October 2019! My condition is now far worse and having a considerable impact on my life. I may now have to dig deep in my purse and pay privately for surgery.

tanith, no I haven't heard of Connect Health but I hope you keep persisting and get the help you need.

It's all very depressing.

Its a shame so many unionists think the Independence movement,anti WM is only peopled by the unemployed ,ill educated or ill informed as often said on here .There are tens of thousands of us who are like this couple ,unwilling to let WM take away any more of the few powers we have.NHS Scotland is the best performing of the 4 nations and has consistently been for the past 7 years .
