NHS Reform Means a Fundamental Rebalancing of Power Away From Doctors and Managers and Towards the Paying Public
"Most commentators consider the foundation of the NHS in 1948 as the key date in the history of medicine in the U.K. My view is that the passage of the National Insurance act in 1911 is a more significant moment. The centrality of this date is admirably explained in David Green’s important book Working class patients and the Medical establishment. I commend it to interested readers.
To summarise Green’s book, 1911 marked the moment where the state first became involved in healthcare provision via a general taxation levy. Prior to that, medical provision for working people had largely been provided through the ‘friendly societies’ – mutual ‘self-help’ subscription organisations run by the working class to spread the risk and cost of medical treatment. The destitute were provided for by the multiple iterations of the Poor Laws. Friendly societies directly employed doctors on modest rates and were not universally popular with the medical profession – partly due to the low pay, but also due to the perception in some quarters that being beholden to working people reduced doctors’ social status. Doctors generally preferred providing services to the middle and upper classes who could pay more. But economic reality forced most to sign up to friendly societies’ remuneration structures. Economic power was with the societies and their members because they paid doctors’ wages.
1911 marked the point where economic power tilted from the consumer to the provider. The state inserted itself as an intermediary between the citizen and the providers of medical care. Medical remuneration rates increased, eventually very significantly, because of effective professional lobbying of the Government. Friendly societies participating in the National Insurance scheme were sidelined. The mass of the working public were deprived of economic power in the medical arena and excluded from active participation in deciding how their money was spent. 1948 marked further encroachment by the state in the administration and centralisation of healthcare.
Attempts during the 1980s and 1990s to rebalance the system in favour of the taxpayer failed, not least because of vocal and sustained opposition from the BMA.
..Until the mid-1990s, a paternalistic medical establishment made most of the decisions. Since that point it has been an increasingly assertive but ineffective managerial cadre incorporating politically malleable former clinicians co-opted into the managerial structure as human shields for the executive. The taxpaying public has consistently footed the bill for multiple failed experiments masquerading as ‘reforms’, which in reality have been motivated by political ‘optics’ rather than meaningful beneficial change. Like non-player characters in a video game, the section of society paying for the NHS has been relegated to the role of impotent bystanders as the entire edifice collapses under the weight of its internal contradictions.
NHS reform does not mean adjusting the number of patients seen per clinic session, or arguments about maternity leave provision. Meaningful reform means a fundamental rebalancing of power in the system away from doctors and managers and towards the people who pay for medical care in this country. It requires disintermediation – the removal of middle men between the person paying for a service and the professional providing it.
Meaningful reform is obviously necessary. My expectation is that the NHS and medical establishment will adopt a ‘consent and evade’ strategy. Sensing public dissatisfaction with the manifest failure of the NHS socialist model, they will vocally endorse change. while simultaneously preventing any real shift in where economic power lies. We risk ending up with the worst case scenario of an inadequate politicised NHS run by and for the provider interest and a ruthlessly exploitative private medical sector. I rest my case."

Working-class Patients and the Medical Establishment: Self-help in Britain from the mid-nineteenth century to 1948
"The working classes of nineteenth-century Britain organised for themselves an extraordinarily effective scheme of medical care. Through local friendly societies and medical institutes, they engaged doctors to care for them, and did so with a degree of success which this pioneering study reveals for the first time. A surprisingly high proportion of working men were covered.
These schemes were consistently opposed by the medical establishment. They obliged doctors to compete for positions, so keeping down their charges; still worse, they put doctors in the position of paid professional servants of working-class clients.
Nevertheless, so long as the doctors worked within the ‘medical marketplace’, their patients proved well able to get good service from them. It was not until the British Medical Association was backed by government action, in the 1911 Act, that the professionals were able to make their own terms and dictate to their patients. The setting-up of the National Health Service in 1948 kept, in this respect, firmly to the spirit of 1911. David Green’s book is a work of history that opens up a neglected area."

HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR INNA ZHVANETSKAYA STILL NOT SAFE FROM INCARCERATION AND FORCED VACCINATION
INTERVIEW WITH ZHVANETSKAYA’S LAWYER HOLGER FISCHER
By Robert Hoeschele and Andrew Barr
The case of the 85-year-old composer Inna Zhvanetskaya has attracted a lot of attention because of the decision last month of a court in Stuttgart in Germany that she should be incarcerated in a psychiatric hospital or secure care home, where she was to be forcibly vaccinated against COVID-19, against her will.
This treatment by the German authorities of a Holocaust survivor evokes obvious parallels with the incarceration of Jews in Nazi Germany and their subjection to forced medical experiments (the origin of the Nuremberg Code).
Currently Zhvanetskaya is in hiding from the authorities, while her lawyer Holger Fischer has managed to obtain an order from a higher court to stay the vaccination, pending the result of an appeal against the decision of the original court. Contrary to claims on social media that the original decision has been overturned, Zhvanetskaya has merely been given a temporary reprieve.
Full details are given in an interview that Fischer gave to Alexander Wallasch, reproduced below in an English translation by Uwe Alschner.
In this interview, Fischer is highly critical of the original decision: ‘This decision is so lousy, it has gross errors in so many places, that the regional court probably couldn’t help but say, “We have to suspend it.” Let me give you an example. The decision has a statement of reasons, the so-called “grounds”. But no reason is given why a compulsory vaccination is necessary. It doesn’t say why. There is nothing there. That is such an obvious error.
‘I don’t know what is going on in the mind of this judge. I can only say that I have never read such a decision on compulsory vaccination. The legislation in this case, Section 1906 of the German Civil Code, was originally intended for people who have to be treated with psychotropic drugs in a psychiatric hospital. And you will not find – certainly not from the Federal Supreme Court – any case law on compulsory vaccination. There’s nothing there.
‘We are moving here into something that is newly blossoming. In Stuttgart, where other strange decisions are made, it is said that they are necessary because we are in COVID times. I have often experienced the phenomenon that, because of COVID, one suddenly deviates from a decision-making tradition or from a legal practice that one has cultivated with great care for years.’
Fischer also expresses his concern about the failure of the court to realise the historical resonance of forcing medical treatment upon a Jewish person in Germany, against her will:
‘The court has put its foot in its mouth here. And the giant fetlock is the Jewish origin. Possible childhood trauma as a result of her Jewish origin cannot be ruled out.
‘Why isn’t the court sensing that? And why is there so little awareness in Germany in the meantime? Why is there so little sensitivity? That is where I would then say, “There is the scandal.”
‘And you have to say to Germans: “You don’t have any sensitivity, and yet you all said that you had learned from the German past. But that’s not the impression we get.”
