🚨Tony Blair's Private Finance Initiative deals crippled our NHS. So why is Wes Streeting now considering new PFI plans that would end our NHS as you know it? Read and share our analysis of new private healthcare plans the govt is said to be considering. weownit.org.uk/blog/wes-stree…
Farangiz from #Uzbekistan is suffering without access to #Trikafta. She has little hope of surviving past childhood without lifesaving drugs. Vertex Pharmaceuticals have recouped their CF R&D costs 3x over - they could choose to give access to all, but prefer to turn their backs. 😢😡
Shame on Vertex Pharmaceuticals, letting thousands die while rubbing their greedy hands together ##CysticFibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Five years on from FDA approval of #Trikafta, tens of thousands of patients in many countries don't have access because the drug is priced out of their reach Vertex Pharmaceuticals need to make global access at a fair price, a priority. #cysticfibrosis #trikafta4all #65roses #breathe
Giving people #Ozempic is not going to change their poor eating habits or lack of exercise. Wes Streeting suggesting obese people don’t work is a dangerous and lazy stereotype. BBC News (UK) BBCSundayMorningLive
NEW: 'Now it's time that Labour properly fund our #NHS and prevent any more needless tragedies.' This is an email from me that's gone out to all Just Treatment 💊 supporters this evening.
Children with #CysticFibrosis in #India are dying without access to #Trikafta 😢. Vertex Pharmaceuticals talk about a ‘donation programme’ but there’s little evidence of patients receiving the medicine they desperately need. Just more empty words from Vertex 😡💊🌍 #Trikafta4All
This week, Wes Streeting launched a ‘national conversation’ about the NHS to inform the #10YearNHSPlan. Take action and tell them we need a heath that: 1⃣ Is fully funded 2⃣Publicly owned 3⃣Puts patients over profits change.nhs.uk/en-GB/
