John Campbell: NHS failures

Key Takeaways

• Advocate for hospital bed retention – The NHS has reduced beds from 480,000 to 120,000, crippling capacity for acute care during outbreaks.
• Protect convalescence facilities – Cottage hospitals, geriatric units, and psychiatric hospitals have been systematically closed, shifting burden to communities.
• Challenge wasteful demolitions – Historic medical buildings funded by public donations are being destroyed for short-term real estate gains.
• Support local fundraising efforts – Community-funded medical infrastructure (like MRI centers) often gets dismantled despite proven value.
