Labour’s mass public consultation on how to improve the NHS has backfired, after the responses were publicly published and many called for a hardline approach backed by Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.
Today Health Secretary Wes Streeting launched a major consultation on the government’s plans to digitise the NHS over the next decade, allowing everyone in the country to feed in their ideas.

However in a bizarre decision, the NHS website immediately publishes all the responses, sparking humiliation for Labour as many demanded radical cuts to woke diversity spending - and a ban on foreigners using the service for free.
Multiple responses call for the health service to stop spending millions a year on diversity officers and schemes.
Andrew Smith wrote: “Currently the NHS is spending between ￡13 and ￡40 million a year on diversity officers and associated "educational" activities.”

“Some officers earn over ￡100,000 a year - this waste needs to stop and the money used on patient care or nurses pay.”
Harry Ferguson agreed, submitting that diversity and inclusion officers are a “drain on resources”.
“The NHS is funded fine, remove the people who are draining all the money out at the top of the system and use it to hire more nurses and doctors and pay them fair wages.”
He blasted: “The NHS has adequate resources to be a great system, but the people who run it couldn't tell their rights from their lefts.”
A third added: "Ban all diversity jobs, all rainbow lanyards, all LGBT flags. The NHS should be neutral and focus on healthcare, not woke causes."
Meanwhile many also demanded an end to free-at-the-point-of-use healthcare to non-Brits and those visiting from abroad.

One anonymous commenter won widespread backing from other website visitors by demanding the Government “charge non residents”.
They revealed: “An American contact had to visit St George's and saw a Doctor, had various heart tests and begged to pay as he had insurance but NHS unable to accept payment.”
“This is ridiculous. Its been said for years. The NHS management needs to facilitate payments.
“Every country in the world charges for non residents including Australia, New Zealand and Canada.”
Frank Toal agreed, adding: “We seem to be paying for an International Health Service where foreign nationals can fly into the UK to use NHS services free of charge”.

Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has welcomed the responses, many of which are his party’s policies, and said Keir Starmer must listen to the demands of voters.
He told the Express: “Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting should heed the messages they’ve been given loud and clear.”

“NHS funding should be directly spent on saving lives, not ridiculous diversity schemes and jobs.
“If we want the NHS to work better for British people, it’s time to cut waste, stop health tourism and put the interests of British people first.”
Mr Streeting’s decision to make all responses public also ushered in a wave of trolling, including one demand for nurses to have a “maximum BMI”, “mandatory euthanasia to fill up hospital beds”, and “privatise everything”.
