70 year history because this government recognizes the importance of primary care in the national health service in this government that careful management of the economy leaves money available to put into the national health service. >> jeremy corbin. >> any department in the country will find they are under enormous pressure precisely because there is a shortage of gp to see people in the first place and the conservative secretary of state promoting private gp services at the same time is overseeing the biggest drop in nhs gps in 50 years. one in ten gp are now seeing twice as many patients as it is safe for them to do so. that is the pressure they are under. the nhs failed to meet its waiting time target for four years. one in 5 patients waited more than 4 hours to be seen. will prime minister on behalf of government apologize to tens of thousands of people waiting for too long in deep distress, because of the pressure they are under. >> to the right honorable gentlemen, we recognize the importance of these targets in the nhs. that is the tenure long-term plan funded by the biggest cash food

nice is part of the national health service the national institute for health and clinical excellenceot the truth. what it does is it figures out if you are 50 and you need a very expensive cancer drug they say the value of your life is $200,000 and the drug cost 100,000 then you can get the drug but if you are 65 and retired and they say the value of your life is 50000 and you need that drug at 100,000 you cannot get it because the actuary says you are not worth it. mark: let me get this straight. the government essentially puts a value on life a financial value in the older you are, the sicker you are, less the value of your life so the more you need health care, less like you we you are to get it. >> exactly that is how they cut the cost. >> that is a ration care and cut the cost of the national health service which is in the mainstream media every day for the long rate waits ration care. mark: so let me be clear. so they have their matrix model they make a decision and a cutting-edge drug that could improve the quality of your lif life, you're 71 years old. but we can only spend t

i was in favor of a national health service to this mean you and i should be against the national health service because somebody favored it and rand as you've mentioned quite clearly mad in my view what we're proposing is that common dividends as basic incomes payments should be a sharing of public wealth and you identify you could afford to be a book about it that this is something very british you trace it to something the magna carta or more famously but the charter of the forest in twelve seventy the charter of the forest of november the sixth twelve seventeen is one of the most subversive radical documents of our constitution and was a marvelous document it has the distinction of being longer on the british statute books than any other piece of legislation in our history it was only reformed by ted heath in one nine hundred seventy one and the charter of the forest said this every free man has the right to subsistence in this country every free man has the right to access the commons the public spaces the public resources in order to have that subsistence everybody has a right to w

and it is more about long-term plans for the national health service. and improving social care, providing for people in their old age. >> the primus there has her head in the sand. the reality is $7 billion is cut from social care since 2010. a system on the brink of collapse as care companies go through administration and the stress on residents, unbelievable. we need a serious strategy. it ensures people get the social care they need when they need it. under this government things getting worse too. violent crime is up by 19%. robberies up by 18%. and 2.3 million criminal investigations close because the police were unable to identify a suspect because there has been insufficient staff to do it. that the primus or accept there is a violent crime epidemic. and tearing our communities apart. it has to be addressed by investment in our communities. >> can i say to the right honorable gentlemen, in relation to care. the suggestion this is a worrying time with provisions provided by those care companies. it is a concerning time for them and their families

do i think the national health service is there for british people, yes i do. this is absolutely ludicrous, i've never in my life seen a more ridiculous interview. some viewers enjoyed that robust encounter with john writing but the vast majority of those who contacted the bbc were as unimpressed as mr farage. andrew had obviously been put up to go into the old bbc news archives to try to discredit nigel farage and the brexit party. he was not interested in what was happening today and he did not discuss one relevant point about the discontent in the british people and their concerns with democracy. i am absolutely disgusted with the bbc. we put those points to bbc news any spokesperson told us... the treatment of politicians on air, and the frequency of their appearances has been under more than usual scrutiny new build up to the local elections two weeks ago and next thursday's vote for the european parliament. last week's edition of have i got news for you was pulled at the last minute exit features of the acting leader of change uk heidi allen with the bbc

the director of the national health service was there. and he did point out to me that there is no single european health service. there is england, there is france, there is germany. canada, i believe, is structured provincially the provinces run. so this thing that we're building, and with no cost benefit analysis, with no double blind control randomized study, no toxicity study. this thing we're building has never -- no one has ever seen a system that is this big. our medicaid system currently is larger than the national health service, i believe that is correct. but this medicare for all bill that we have under consideration in the speaker's committee, the speaker's desire to have this bill heard today, that is going to be gargantuan. is that a fair statement? >> a fair statement. and you have to worry about access to care. in the u.k., a commission that helps determine benefits available decided that cataract surgery was not a high priority. and so cataract surgery was significantly limited. if you're -- if you have cataracts and you

that is because it is this government that recognises the importance of primary care in our national health servicelace. in the conservative secretary of state, was promoting private gp services, at the same time is overseeing the biggest drop in nhs gps for 50 yea rs. biggest drop in nhs gps for 50 years. one in ten gps are now seeing twice as many patients as is it is safe for them to do so. that is a pressure they are under. the nhs has failed to meet its a&e waiting time target for nearly four years. in march this year more than one in five patients waited more than four hours to be seen. when the prime minister, on behalf of the government, apologised to the tens of thousands of people waiting for too long in deep distress just to get seen at an a&e department because of the pressure they are under? can i say to the right honourable gentleman, we recognise the importance of these targets in the importance of these targets in the nhs. that is why one of the elements of the ten year long—term plan in the nhs, funded by the biggest cash boost in the nhs's history, given by this conservative gover

it is a conservative party that has seen more nurses, more doctors in our national health service, dedicatedatients. and that is only possible because it is a conservative government that manages our economy, manages our public finances and a labour party and government would crash our economy, meaning less money for the nhs less money for its staff and less care for its patients. football analogies aside, both leaders tried to avoid brexit. later, seniorfigures from labour and the government met for the latest round of talks designed to break the deadlock. with the snp watching from outside. scotland doesn't want a labour tory brexit. scotland voted to remain. and once again, with no scottish representation and the talks, our nation is being ignored. does the prime minister think this is good enough for a supposed union of equals? the prime minister must confirm today that any deal will be put back to the people for a final say. can i say to the right honourable gentlemen, as he knows i have had talks with him in the past issue of the brexit deal and also the first minister of scotland. it

to 52 health care systems begging them to send people he called teld me he would call the national health service and sending 60 more pan they took five minutes. and i got very envious of the you know i tear health care system. until at one time the nurses came home with ebola and the union voted to send no one else. and we were still sending people and they weren't in the uk. there are strengths and weaknesses to the patchwork system we have in america. but i think one thing i took away from the ebola response was that it would be great if people upon the local level organized exercises where you put everyone in the room, the local public health people, the local providers, the private providers, the public providers, the first responders, community leaders, the political leaders, the state political leaders, and you saw what would happen in the event of one of these -- of some kind of incident like this in your community. and nothing is going to make the people in that room more connected to global health than going through the exercise and understanding that by the time it gets to houston it's

we have the national health service, and a large part of what is happening in the us is that they dony lower educated middle aged men from things like suicide and drug overdoses and things, and we arejust beginning and drug overdoses and things, and we are just beginning to see that here, which is one of the new things we have found as we start to explore this. we need to take action to make sure that does not turn into something much worse. there's a lot of inequality your talk about and that feeds into people being more likely to go for extremes in politics as well. it is possible. that is one of the things we will look at, but we certainly see following the financial crisis, following the financial crisis, following some of the increases in inequality, we have seen changes in our politics. that may be somewhat related. there is obviously a lot of other things going on there but one of the things that is clear both here and elsewhere is the people who are not doing economically terribly well also feel that it —— politically powerless, and in a way thatis politically powerless, and i
