Thank you for reminding us re the constitution. When patients see PAs instead of doctors, and not told about the status change, would this not be an assault?
I also wonder about the role of doctors in senior management. Philip Banfield 💙

Defend our NHS To UK people:

Your doctors are being stolen from you.

Across the NHS, a role taught 2 years of 'PA studies” is substituting for Doctors trained for 10 to 15 years.

The use of PAs is about money. It is not about care.

My god, some people are so gullible.

Lifelong Tory, 14 years as a Tory MP, happily voted for austerity, privatisation, brexit, 3 child policy, council funding cuts and Windrush immigration policy but 20 minutes before the end of his political career says he's 'changed his mind'?

We need honesty from the tories.

Patients are waiting for more appointments now than they were when Rishi Sunak pledged to bring down the NHS waiting lists in January 2023. If this concerns you, RT 🚨🚨🚨

Imagine looking at the state of the country right now and thinking that disability benefits were the thing that needed to change🚨

NHS England / Govt Long Term Workforce Plan
To summarise:-
Train more UK staff
Pay Less
UK staff leave
Rely on immigration
Ban families joining
More staff leave
Use cheaper alternatives
Everyone gets worse care
Private care for wealthier/healthier
NHS second rate care
THE END

Absolutely applies to the NHS:

“The NHS” now means a 2012 corporate-run quango dismantling services

“More £ for the NHS” = political support for that dismantling

“More social care” = closing essential beds and hospitals for business opportunities

‘Boom’ in Private health care is just 268,000 treatments per year compared with over 12,000,000 in the NHS
Private Care won’t replace NHS but is enjoying a ‘boom’ feeding on concerns, lack of Govt support & doing 15% of NHS work for a starved NHS.

Our Co-Chair Tony O’Sullivan 📣: 'Let’s hope he warns Streeting not to prioritise further reform over emergency funding. The NHS colleagues & patients Poulter could no longer look in the eye need an NHS restored as a well-funded publicly provided service'

Today's Times.

Rishi Sunak continuing his vindictive assault on people with mental illness, vowing to stop welfare payments for depression & anxiety.

Yet there are 1.9 million people on NHS mental health waiting lists.

So how dare they suggest this is about 'help'?

Dear @WesStreeting & Victoria Atkins,

Last year, over 20,000 doctors and over 40,000 nurses left the NHS. If you want to eliminate stupid policies that are wasting taxpayer money and harming patients, then we must end this staff haemorrhage now.

#SOSNHS #PayRestoration

This is just basic decent practice and should be happening already.

There's one thing that Atkins could do to improve working conditions, and that's come to the negotiating table.

Not content with platforming billionaire-funded anti- #NHS free-market Spectator cranks Kate Andrews & Charles Moore YESTERDAY on #PoliticsLive & #bbqt , occupying the seat permanently reserved for free-market #propagandists on the BBC's #bbcaq TONIGHT is (drum roll) Kate Andrews.

GP Practices are closing, financially unviable, GPs leaving
some unemployed
Yet NHS England Victoria Atkins Andrea Leadsom MP are cutting funding to GP Practices 2% this year
Since 2016 20% £/patient real terms cut in funding
This is not News it’s continuing

Dear 🇬🇧,

NHS staff are leaving in record numbers and it is a national emergency that we must urgently address. I joined Storm Huntley, @Bonsuman, and Carole Malone for a segment on this crisis.

#SOSNHS #StormHuntley

Just one of the hundreds of avoidable deaths happening every month due to a govt refusal to fund the NHS properly. These are real people and they're being utterly failed.
