How a decade of NHS cuts and privatization left the UK exposed to a pandemic
十年的英国国家医疗服务体系精减和私有化怎样让英国很难抵御流行病

背景:在疫情期间,每个周四晚8点,成百万的英国人都会站在家门口或阳台上集体鼓掌,表达对医护人员的感激和对英国国家医疗服务体系(NHS)的骄傲。但那些体验过政府的新冠肺炎病毒检测和跟踪服务的人们却与NHS的接触极为有限。相反,有症状的英国人被引流至德勤的管理顾问们设置的50个免下车式检测中心,而且给他们检测的也不是NHS员工,而是Serco、G4S、Mitie和Sodexo等外包公司提供的人员。保障英国全民公费医疗的NHS为何现在需要将众多功能外包给私人企业?原因在于,过去十年来政府大幅削减给NHS的财务拨款,同时对其大刀阔斧地改组和私有化。这些举措直接导致了英国面对疫情时应对乏力,捉襟见拙,不得不花大价钱请私人企业介入。
在关注、防范疫情上,请大家保持情绪稳定,积极乐观面对,坚信一切都会好起来,同时希望各位学子能够安心在家学习,后续文都网校考研继续更新2021考研英语:何凯文每日一句。2020,文都网校,与你一路同行!
