1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,400
So, this is the second part of Labour NHS chaos.

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:15,240
So, this report is fairly old because it's the latest one.

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,520
The impact of winter pressures on adults in Great Britain.

4
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:27,080
So, around a quarter of adults, 23%, were occasionally hardly ever or never able to

5
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:32,520
keep comfortably warm in their living room in the past two weeks.

6
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:40,000
Over 1610 adults reported using less gas and electricity because of increases in the cost

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:48,800
of living, which of course has gone up a lot more with salaries for the most of us staying

8
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,720
the same.

9
00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:01,360
Around one in three, 34% of all adults reported that cutting back on heating their home has

10
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,680
negatively affected their health or wellbeing.

11
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:12,880
Around one in six adults were somewhat or very worried their food would run out before

12
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,840
they had any money to buy more.

13
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,280
And six percent said their household had run out of food and could not afford to buy any

14
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,240
more.

15
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:29,960
And one in five adults reported eating smaller portions because of the rising cost of living.

16
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:36,040
While 17% said they were eating food past its use by date.

17
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:43,160
One in five reported they were waiting for a hospital appointment test or to start receiving

18
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,840
medical treatment throughout through the NHS.

19
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,520
Of those who said waiting for NHS treatment had negatively affected their life, around

20
00:01:53,520 --> 00:02:01,120
1610 reported that the wait had affected their wellbeing, while one in three said they had

21
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,600
made their conditions worse.

22
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,960
Barriers to getting a GP appointment in the past month included being offered only a telephone

23
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,040
consultation when they wanted a face-to-face appointment.

24
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:24,840
Not everybody can afford a mobile or a fixed home phone.

25
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,320
Waiting too long for a GP appointment, not being able to get a GP appointment, so there

26
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,320
are the figures.

27
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,600
Overview of the impact of winter pressures.

28
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:47,400
So the most commonly reported issue where the cost of living is 92% and the NHS 80%.

29
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:54,120
And then this, if you want to, I'll let you know the document and then we can look at

30
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,640
that further.

31
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:01,120
So the impact of increased cost of living.

32
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:08,520
So the price of food shopping increases, gas and electricity bills increase.

33
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:17,360
Maybe they wish you have a special tariff during winter so that we make sure that we're

34
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,680
all comfortable.

35
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:26,840
The price of fuel is increasing, so mobility is a factor.

36
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,440
Those who reported an increase in the cost of living compared with a month ago said they

37
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:36,480
were spending less on non-essentials, using less fuel such as gas or electricity in the

38
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:44,000
home, shopping around more, spending less on food, shopping and essentials.

39
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,800
So effectively we've got energy insecurity.

40
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:57,940
So half of adults in this particular year who pay energy bills found it very or somewhat

41
00:03:57,940 --> 00:04:03,800
difficult to afford them and then six in ten adults were very or somewhat worried about

42
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,360
keeping warm in their home over winter.

43
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,440
So what is it?

44
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,400
We haven't really been given enough time by the government when they've raised this issue

45
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:25,560
because it doesn't really, I mean it really focuses the mind that if they're not going

46
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:32,440
to look after the OAPs they're not going to look after anybody and people are just going

47
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,760
to tighten their belts even more.

48
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,800
So we're going to have companies going under, pubs, clubs, entertainment and so forth.

49
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:47,720
I mean the only entertainment most people are going to do which is going to be paid

50
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:54,800
by their own company and nobody is going to really entertain themselves because it's just

51
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,840
too expensive.

52
00:04:56,840 --> 00:05:05,580
So but then we've got an issue where we're effectively less healthy.

53
00:05:05,580 --> 00:05:13,640
So consequences are using heating less, using washing machine less, using tumble dryer less,

54
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,200
using bath or shower less.

55
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:23,040
So and these are the charts, using heating less, using tumble dryer less, using the washing

56
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,520
machine less, using bath or shower less, cooking less.

57
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:38,800
So not having a warm meal and just probably eating out of tins or maybe having some toast.

58
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,560
Can't we call that a warm meal?

59
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:48,640
Using the TV or tablets or laptops or game consoles less, not heating or reheating food

60
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,480
until it is piping hot.

61
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,800
So we're going to get lots of people with food poisoning.

62
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,880
Other unplugging the fridge or freezer.

63
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:07,960
Well major issue if you've got food in there and then restriction of medical devices which

64
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,560
should be a big no no.

65
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,960
So let's move on.

66
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:22,560
So most people put in on more clothing or blankets so you need an element of your skin

67
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,840
to breathe and it could cause onto other issues.

68
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:35,200
I mean only heating rooms at home that you use using hot water bottles going to bed early.

69
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:45,800
I mean that really doesn't give you a reason to hang around and your life is getting not

70
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:55,840
very, you know, it's a deterioration of actually wanting to stay alive.

71
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:05,680
So here's it again in graph form.

72
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,540
Food insecurity.

73
00:07:07,540 --> 00:07:17,480
So most of it is so adults worried about their food will run out before they have money to

74
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,800
buy more.

75
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,040
House had run out of food and could not afford to buy more.

76
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:30,640
That's one in six and one in 10 said they tend to or definitely disagree with the statement

77
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:36,000
my household can afford to eat a balanced diet.

78
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:47,240
And that means that you don't just have people that are eating unhealthy food.

79
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:57,080
You have a significant portion of growing children and adults who do not eat the right

80
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:05,700
food so they don't grow their minds and bodies correctly.

81
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:10,600
So of course you're going to have people eating out less.

82
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:18,960
So people have gone from going to restaurants to takeaways.

83
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:30,640
People that did takeaways, they probably find prepared foods like ready meals, pizzas, etc.

84
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,680
in the supermarkets.

85
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:43,880
People that used to do that, maybe they can make it from scratch or find a work around

86
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:52,240
or they buy cheaper food or they buy discounted food, which I mean, it's still still okay,

87
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,640
but it's a little bit of hiss and miss.

88
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,880
So there are the charts for that.

89
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,320
I mean, the main thing is the NHS waiting list.

90
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:14,880
So if you are poorly and you can't heat yourself properly and you're not in the right mental

91
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:29,080
state because you know, you've got that element of ground whole day, it can have a very detrimental

92
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,800
amount on your health.

93
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,720
So my well-being has been affected 59%.

94
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,520
It has made my condition worse 36%.

95
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,560
My ability or exercise has been affected 34%.

96
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:47,840
My mobility has been affected 33%.

97
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,800
So let's have a go.

98
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:55,720
Yeah, I mean, we don't have the proper GP practice.

99
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:02,960
I mean, if you're ill, you probably don't have the energy, you want to sleep, you want

100
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:10,560
to recuperate and you don't want to have this hassle of sort of hanging on the phone before

101
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:17,880
eight to go getting the appointment or trying again at 12 for sort of any free slots.

102
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:28,720
So you know, you can wait sort of 30, 60, 90 minutes or you get the receptionist say,

103
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:34,840
oh, please do the consultation through a website or 111.

104
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:43,160
And then you just go around in circles where it says, oh, you need to do this, this and

105
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,600
this, which is very difficult.

106
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:54,640
So then if you are ill, you need some sort of remote consultation.

107
00:10:54,640 --> 00:11:03,520
I mean, in the past you had, I think probably about a quarter of consultations in people's

108
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:12,320
homes where if you're, I mean, number one, if you're that sick, it can make it take a

109
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,520
lot longer to get better.

110
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:26,200
But effectively, whatever you have could be highly contagious and you're going to infect

111
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,880
probably the entire number of people that went for appointments on that day and maybe

112
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,720
later if staff contract it.

113
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:45,660
So there's that little bit with the graphs.

114
00:11:45,660 --> 00:11:49,280
So impact of winter pressures on health.

115
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:55,440
So you know, having to cut back on heating, detrimental to your health, waiting too long

116
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:01,640
for GPT appointments, that will have impacts on your health, waiting too long for a hospital

117
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:07,400
appointment for treatment, having to cut back on gas or electricity to cook or heat meals.

118
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,760
I mean, that's the main thing.

119
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:20,560
You need sustenance and the correct sustenance to get better and you need to, you know, the

120
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:26,960
any infected part of your body or you need to feel refreshed.

121
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:35,140
If you don't shower or bath enough, that is a detriment to that.

122
00:12:35,140 --> 00:12:40,960
If you don't reheat food, that's food poisoning, food poisoning about unplugging your fridge

123
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:41,960
and freezers.

124
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:52,200
They may, I mean, the time it takes for a freezer to get fully up to speed may take

125
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,320
a couple of days.

126
00:12:53,320 --> 00:13:00,080
So you may have an issue that you're not properly freezing your food and that these are issues

127
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:11,000
and the under use of very important medical facilities that you need electricity.

128
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:18,640
So people are very worried about the rising cost, about staying warm, about the NHS list

129
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,480
and accessing GPs.

130
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:30,560
So let's go very quickly.

131
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:39,240
So there's a number of data sets which we'll go through in a different, but I mean, it's

132
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,060
fundamental.

133
00:13:41,060 --> 00:13:45,280
You need a variety of vitamins and minerals.

134
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,360
So you need a variety of things like food, vegetables, pulses, meat or fish, starchy

135
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:55,320
foods such as pasta, rice and dairy.

136
00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:01,520
And then you probably need the full spectrum of vitamins.

137
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:16,440
So it is very strange that we have had the pandemic, which has bankrupted a lot of individuals.

138
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:22,600
There are lots of individuals who, because they weren't working or were self-employed

139
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:31,880
or were redundant, didn't have the relevant support.

140
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:38,640
And at the moment, this, you know, the whole principle of the, or the main principle was

141
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:45,040
to look after the old and the young.

142
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:54,600
And at the moment with the current criteria from the government to slowly eradicate these

143
00:14:54,600 --> 00:15:09,760
particular supplements to make it livable during the wintertime, it's just crazy.

144
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:20,640
You know, we spent sort of, probably spent a few trillion to say effectively, we'll make

145
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:29,060
sure that the OOPs have a life and don't have a premature death.

146
00:15:29,060 --> 00:15:39,920
You have other people staying away so that we don't have the NHS overwhelmed.

147
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:47,920
And we've got a situation now where we're going to get, you know, at least between 12,000

148
00:15:47,920 --> 00:16:01,360
and 120,000 unexplained deaths due to heating and eating, as well as the NHS not being in

149
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:10,440
a fit state to be able to manage all these elements.

150
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:19,400
And of course, you've got the lower end where you're going to have issues with the young.

151
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:24,320
So all of that is just torn up.

152
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:33,560
It will show on the world stage that we're not a proper society because proper societies

153
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:50,000
look after their young and old and not looking after the people with the voice pop of the

154
00:16:50,000 --> 00:17:01,920
moment or have the strength of character or strength of remuneration to actually get what

155
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,640
they want.

156
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:10,280
So please share this particular video.

157
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:17,360
I'd love it if you could also comment and of course subscribe.

So please subscribe as much or as little as you want.

162
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:56,360
The other thing is that I want this shared as much as possible.

163
00:17:56,360 --> 00:18:08,640
So if you could share the link in all of your social media so we can get a proper review

164
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:15,400
so that we don't have a major issue in the winter months this year because we're going

165
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,920
to get a very cold snap.

166
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:27,880
And for the sake of a small amount of money, you can keep people in their homes rather

167
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:40,760
than keeping them in the NHS or the huge cost that will be needed by the police, the fire

168
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,300
brigade, the NHS and local government.

169
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:46,640
So thank you very much.

170
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:52,240
Give me a thumbs up and a comment and let's share the hell out of this.

171
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,240
Thank you.

172
00:18:53,240 --> 00:19:22,060
Bye.
