NHS keeps public away and patients are seen as 'inconvenience', health service's new boss says

The NHS has built 'mechanisms to keep the public away' as patients are seen as an 'inconvenience', its new boss has said. Sir Jim Mackey, who was made chief executive of NHS England on March 31, has publicly criticised the health service for often being 'deaf' to criticism and retaining 'fossilised' methods of working that are outdated. Ahead of the implementation of a 10-year health plan set to be published by the UK Government next week, Sir Jim told The Daily Telegraph that in recent years, the NHS has often 'made it really hard' for people to receive care. He added: 'You've got a relative in hospital, so you're ringing a number on a ward that no one ever answers. 'The ward clerk only works nine to five or they're busy doing other stuff; the GP practice scramble every morning. 'It feels like we've built mechanisms to keep the public away because it's an inconvenience.' Sir Jim also warned that if the growing disconnect between NHS services and the public is not rectified at 'pace', it could result in the loss of the public health service altogether. He said: 'If we lose the population, we've lost the NHS. For me, it's straightforward. The two things are completely dependent on each other'. It comes ahead of the Government's 10-year plan for the NHS, set to be unveiled next week. Aimed at improving services, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is reportedly set to link doctors' and nurses' pay to their success in bringing down waiting lists. Under the proposed plans, NHS patients could also be contacted several weeks after receiving treatment and asked if it was good enough for the hospital to get paid in full. If the patient says no, roughly 10 per cent of 'standard payment rates' are set to be diverted to a local 'improvement fund', the Times previously reported. The major revamp is also set to relocate patient care from hospitals to community-based health centers. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said on Wednesday that the plan will aim to 'address one of the starkest health inequalities', which he claims is the unequal access to information and choice when it comes to healthcare. For Sir Jim, the health service, first created in 1948, is in urgent need of a 're-orientation', with a shift in mindset from "it's going to be a pain if you turn up because I'm quite busy" to 'how do we find out what you need and get it sorted.' Having started his career in the NHS in 1990, Sir Jim also revealed that his concerns about the health service are predominantly driven by his own childhood experience, after his father died in a hospital 'known for its poor standards of care'. Adding that he will carry the trauma of his father's death 'for the rest of my life', the NHS England boss previously vowed to MPs that he would 'pick up the pace of reform' and tackle the widespread 'inefficiency'. In April, MailOnline revealed how Sir Jim is 'running the NHS from a train carriage' as he was caught watching Netflix in the middle of the afternoon before snoozing off. Sir Jim, who commutes 1,200 miles a week between the office in London and his Northumberland home, was also found by a Mail exclusive investigation to have left his laptop unlocked while using a train toilet. He openly displayed documents including one revealing details of an 'NHS leadership' meeting. And the health service chief slept half an hour - through an alert on his device reminding him of an online meeting. In response, former Conservative leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith said: 'You couldn't make it up. 'It's not a great lesson in efficiency when you waste so much time travelling and falling asleep. You can't run the NHS from a train carriage. If you want to do the job properly, you've got to be in the office. It's what most businesses would demand.' But Health Secretary Wes Streeting backed his hire to lead the NHS, declaring: 'Jim is proving to be worth his weight in gold.' Sir Jim was initially appointed to oversee a dramatic cut in waste and inefficiency across the NHS, with the Government saying it wants to axe 50 per cent of corporate management jobs and use the savings of hundreds of millions of pounds to improve frontline services. It comes ahead of the Government's 10-year plan for the NHS, set to be unveiled next week. Aiming at improving services, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is reportedly set to link doctors' and nurses' pay to their success in bringing down waiting lists. (File image of an NHS waiting room) The transition' period under the Labour government is expected to take two years, with Sir Jim due to be the helmsman until then. In a bid to take pressure off hospitals and cut down waiting lists, the Government previously announced that 85 new mental health emergency departments will be built across England. The 85 units will be funded by £120million secured in the Spending Review, the Department of Health and Social Care said. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, they will be staffed by specialist nurses and doctors. Maternity wards are also expected to be among the first parts of UK hospitals to be placed under the microscope, after Streeting launched a full review into services across the country, saying that women had been 'ignored, gaslit [and] lied to' by the NHS. Previous plans unveiled by Mr Streeting revealed a diversion of more than £2billion in NHS spending to working class communities.

NHS treats patients as ‘inconvenience', says new boss

Sir Jim Mackey, the new NHS chief executive, warns that the health service risks collapse if it fails to address public frustrations, stating it has "built mechanisms to keep patients away". Sir Jim highlighted issues like the 8am GP appointment scramble and difficulties contacting hospital wards as examples of the NHS treating patients like an 'inconvenience'. He proposes significant reforms, including moving care from hospitals to local centres and drastically reducing routine outpatient follow-up appointments to free up resources. Sir Jim believes the NHS has wasted money and needs to be "de-layered" to improve efficiency, drawing on personal experiences of the system's failings with his own parents. Labour's upcoming 10-year NHS plan, to be unveiled by Wes Streeting, will focus on shifting care to the community, ending care disparities, and introducing "patient power payments" linked to satisfaction.

NHS manager ordered to stop selling ‘sleep drug-laced' children's gummies

An NHS manager has been stopped from selling children's gummies allegedly laced with undeclared levels of a prescription-only sleeping drug, the Guardian can reveal. Magnesium glycinate gummies for children who have trouble sleeping have been sold since March last year by Nutrition Ignition, an Epsom-based company owned by Sally Westcott, whose other job is a clinical therapy lead at Epsom and St Helier NHS trust. The Chinese-manufactured gummies are advertised as 'a natural way to help your child sleep better' and are described by Westcott on Facebook as 'especially beneficial in children with ADHD and autism'. But the adverts and the packaging do not reveal that the raspberry-flavoured sweets allegedly contain significant levels of melatonin, a hormone used for treating sleep problems that is only available in the UK if prescribed by a doctor. This week the drug regulator ordered Westcott to remove the gummies from her company's website and from the online retailer Amazon while it investigates. But the product remains available on eBay. Westcott said she was complying with the investigation and denied knowingly selling a prescription-only substance. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) was alerted to the gummies by two mothers who had bought the product online for their children. Last week the Guardian was able to buy a tub of 60 gummies for £19.49, including postage and packing, via Amazon without a prescription. They came with glowing five-star online reviews. One parent of a sleep-deprived child described the gummies as a 'godsend', another as 'magic'. The mothers, one a photographer and the other working in fintech, who both want to remain anonymous, had a hunch that the gummies contained more active ingredients than were listed on the label. Their suspicions were heightened when their young children, one of whom has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and the other who is suspected of having ADHD and autism, fell asleep only 30 minutes after eating the gummies. The women commissioned an independent company, Supplement Factory, to analyse the gummies. Its report, which the Guardian has seen, said they contained undeclared, but pharmacologically relevant, levels of melatonin. Each gummy contained 0.53mg of melatonin, the analysis estimated. The recommended starting dose for children is 0.5mg. Supplement Factory concluded that the inclusion of melatonin was unlawful as it breached the human medicines regulations 2012. 'A single gummy may sedate a child without clinical oversight,' Supplement Factory's report concluded. The mothers sent the report to the MHRA earlier this month. Amazon was also notified. This week the gummies were taken offline while the MHRA investigates. A spokesperson for the MHRA said: 'Patient safety is our top priority. In the UK, melatonin is an authorised medicine, and any product containing it as an ingredient is likely to be classified as a medicine. 'If a product falls under the definition of a medicine, it must hold a marketing authorisation ('licence') in order to be legally sold and supplied in the UK, unless covered by a special exemption.' It added: 'We take the reports very seriously and can confirm we are investigating these products further to determine what appropriate action is required. We are unable to comment further on the details of this investigation as it is ongoing.' In a statement Westcott said: 'We take any concerns regarding product safety, regulatory compliance and consumer trust extremely seriously. 'We are currently reviewing the information you have provided regarding the magnesium glycinate gummies. We have initiated an investigation into the matter in order to properly understand the facts and are in the process of further independent scientific testing of our products. 'Nutrition Ignition is a small business and has never knowingly sold products containing undeclared ingredients and we only work with manufacturers who meet third-party assured industry standards; specifically NSF [National Science Foundation] certification of conformity.' The photographer said: 'It's horrifying to read those reviews about children falling to sleep in minutes, when you know the reality of what's happening. It is scandalous that you can buy prescription drugs for children over the internet in this way. 'This case shines a light on how unregulated this industry is, and calls into question Amazon's responsibility in allowing misleading and potentially dangerous products being marketed and sold to the parents of children.' Her friend said: 'I feel deeply concerned about what has been uncovered. Melatonin is a prescribed medicine in the UK and parents/carers need to be made fully aware of what they are feeding their children.' She added: 'My daughter is diagnosed with ADHD and has been taking medication to manage. To assist with sleep at night, her doctor prescribed melatonin, which luckily she wasn't taking because along with the magnesium gummies, it could have been at a dangerous level in her system. The fact that the supplements market appears to be unregulated and being sold on Amazon with false claims is really worrying.' Melatonin gummies are available in China, the US and in some European countries without prescription despite doubts about their long-term safety. In the UK a hidden market has developed for melatonin gummies, particularly among parents of neurodivergent children. The ready availability of melatonin online has alarmed health experts who say its long-term health effects on children are unknown.
