BMA publishes the doctors' manifesto, UK
A five point challenge to all political parties, setting out how to improve the NHS, is published today (Tuesday 8 March
2005) by the British Medical
Association. "A vote to improve health" takes the form of a doctors'
manifesto for the forthcoming general election.
BMA Chairman, Mr James Johnson, is sending the document to the leaders of
the main political parties calling on them to address the challenges to
visibly improve the health service. He said: "The NHS is not as good as it
could be. Doctors share many of the parties' stated aims to improve it. But
if goals such as shortening waiting times and making care more
patient-centred are to become reality, politicians have to face a number of
challenges."
The challenges are:
Improve public health, helping people to lead healthier lives
"Gross health inequalities still exist in the UK with intolerable
differences in health status between groups. The incoming government must
provide a more coherent public health policy and make it a clear national
priority" said Mr Johnson.
Make patient choice meaningful and relevant to patients
"Choice cannot be delivered simply by buying in more private provision or
introducing a market where providers compete for referrals" says the BMA
manifesto. Patient choice should not be skewed by spurious targets relating
to the level of private-provider use. "Doctors worry that choice appears to
be little more than a euphemism for increased private involvement in
healthcare and competition between institutions that provide care."
Recognise the limits to the role the private sector can play and strengthen
the NHS
Current policies are in danger of relocating capacity instead of adding to
it, says the BMA. The manifesto states: "Diverting investment from the NHS
to the private sector will do little to solve the problems of the NHS and
in the long term may worsen them by damaging mainstream healthcare". The
BMA believes the market in health care should have clear limits and operate
on a level playing field.
Involve doctors, patients and the public in the formulation of policy and
reform initiatives
Failure to involve doctors, patients and the public in health policies can
produce results that are "impractical to implement, miss out some vital
aspect of patients' interests or are not supported by doctors." The BMA
says an example of this failure lies within the National Programme for IT,
the £6bn project for the NHS.
Invest in doctors to enable them to lead improvement across the NHS
Doctors are at the core of treating patients, improving their care and
providing education. "The medical profession must be valued, further
invested in and freed from political interference to work with (others) to
improve care across the NHS" says the manifesto.
The UK's supply of doctors does not match demand, says the BMA and we rely
heavily on overseas trained medics. The manifesto calls for self
sufficiency in doctors and nurses and says: "It seems iniquitous that
wealthy, developed, English-speaking nations like the UK and USA should be
draining poorer countries of scarce medical manpower."
Ways to invest in doctors include:
Protecting academic medicine and widening access to medical schools
Making sure plans for junior doctors' training are feasible in practice
Providing round the clock childcare to match the hours NHS staff work
Improve the working conditions of staff and associate specialist doctors
Recognise the value of GPs as being at the centre of primary care
Provide a new deal for GPs working in community hospitals
The NHS Pension Schemes should not be reduced in value.
Doctors all over the UK will be using the BMA Manifesto to challenge their
local MPs and prospective parliamentary candidates in the run up to the
general election.
