🚨 Statement from NHS Workers Say NO!

The government wants to make the #NHS more accountable to Westminster, rather than the communities it serves.

We need proper transparency & democracy - so local councils, patients & staff can make decisions and be held to account.

🚨 #NHS leak: 15,000 lives lost in a year in community mental health care.

Lives depend on it.

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.

WATCH: 'The #NHS has been let down by ten plus years of underfunding, of privatisation, and of mismanagement.'

All too often, we're told high medicine prices are due to huge development costs.

But why won't big pharma open their books to prove it?

Maybe - and stay with us on this one - it's because they’re lying to protect their profits.

If care is “faster, simpler, fairer,” why then:

🔴 Longer waiting lists than before pledges
🔴 Staff shortages & unfair pay
🔴 270K+ youth awaiting mental health services
🔴 Cancer targets not met in a decade

We need more than promo videos; we need proper investment & change.
