THE ENGLISH HOLOCAUST
The Commons Health Select Committee has found that between 25,000 and 32,000 people per year are needlessly dying due to hospitals failing to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) among those undergoing surgery.
Preventive drugs for DVT cost only £1 per day, which is far less than treating those with the condition.
This statistic comes on top of the revelation that the MRSA superbug kills at least 5,000 patients a year, and is believed to be a factor in 10,000 more deaths.
This very week it has been announced that it is intended to remove funding for drugs to help Alzheimers patients because, at £2.50 per day, they are considered too expensive. The total cost is only £60million per year.
Past revelations have included the fact that many of the elderly ejected from their nursing homes die as a result of the shock. Up to 12,000 people were estimated to die each year.
This is all despite the NHS budget having being doubled since 1996/97 to £64.5billion.
Meanwhile, it has further been revealed this week that 1 in 20 asylum seekers are infected with HIV. The treatment for an HIV patient with drugs costs £15,000 each year. Therefore if 5,000 new HIV positive asylum seekers are admitted into NHS care each year out of 100,000 asylum seekers, then the cost of treating these asylum seekers is rising at a rate of £75million every year (ie the annual cost is £750million after 10 years).
The cost of medical care is of course far cheaper in the third world, from where the asylum seekers have come.
This of course follows the government plans to legalise euthanasia.
What kind of society is it, that treats its sick and elderly in this way?
How can the voters of England register their dissatisfaction with John Reid, the health secretary? They cannot. John Reid is Scottish and he is totally unaccountable to those who he is so shabbily treating.
All these people having their lives needlessly ended in the name of socialism.
The sooner the NHS is denationalised the better.
