Almost half of the people working in the nhs aren't in a medical role but execs.
im assuming by execs you mean managerial roles? Because the NHS is actually incredibly sort of managers, contrary to those “
large cat” daily Mail headlines;
Recent media coverage and parliamentary debate suggests that the NHS is bureaucratic and over managed. But how many managers are there in the NHS? And are there really too many?

December is the month Nurses take their holidays. Nhs Xmas crisis anyone?!
And? nurses need holidays? It’s a legal entitlement and necessary for a decent standard of care. Most of the U.K. workforce take holidays over Christmas. The issue isn’t that nurses get too many holidays (they don’t). The issue is the lack of staffing.
The Conservative gov have given them more money than any other party. What's happened to the billions we keep giving them? Where can we see a breakdown of what it was spent on.
By googling it.
It’s here;
NHS England » What we spend and how we spend it
www.england.nhs.uk
Obviously devolved areas will have different spending. The individual CCGs will have more specific spending but these have been transitioned into ICSs
Learn about what clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) were, what they did and their contribution to health and care.

And it’s been said multiple times in this thread, throwing money at the NHS won’t fix it or help it if peripheral services aren’t being funded properly, if
long term investments in staff aren’t being made. So how many billion the tories bumped into the NHS is irrelevant, because it was a decision based on optics and politics, not practicalities.
And which political party decided to cut peripheral, public services for over a decade..?
Nhs is a devolved business, the nhs bosses run it according to their own rules. So they're admitting they haven't been able to run a business for the past few decades so why haven't they done anything to fix it?
Wrong wrong and wrong. It’s not a “devolved buisness”, maybe you’re getting confused with the fact there are actually 4 NHSs for each of the countries within the U.K. and healthcare is a devolved matter for Scotland and NI.
they don’t “run it by their own rules” because they report to the department for health and social care, a ministerial department.. where the ministers make decisions. Not the “NHS bosses”
I am dual trained but have worked in paeds for most of my career as stuff like this was just overwhelming in adult. Honestly I do think most patients themselves would choose to be made comfortable for the rest of their life rather than having surgery like this or chemo etc but don't want to upset their families and of course doctors are limited in many ways in their decisions. One of the consultants I used to work with said it was madness and that when he started his career it wasn't this way. People were able to have a comfortable and dignified end without the relentless need for intervention just because we can.
