Respect for Andy Burnham promising a new National Care Service Good to see him saying it will be "care that is about people not profit" Burnham should also insource ALL private contracts back into the NHS End privatisation and REINSTATE THE NHS as a fully public service

A third of nurses and a third of doctors were born overseas. Without immigrants the NHS would collapse. You are more likely to be treated by an immigrant than to be behind one in a queue. Massive underfunding of our NHS and lack of social housing were a political choice.

AI will never be 'the answer' because a great deal of NHS care (remember 90% of it is delivered in general practice) also requires human contact and empathy. No language learning model will ever be able to provide either.
