It’s happened again. Who would have guessed? Infected blood scandal prompts politicians to again say ‘never again’ | John Crace theguardian.com/politics/artic…

NHS patient Elizabeth challenged Wes Streeting over plans to scale up private sector delivery of care. Outsourcing is costly & diverts staffing capacity away from the #NHS. No major party has a viable plan to fix the #NHSCrisis. As patients, we urge them ALL to be bolder!

Massive waiting lists for elective care. Chaos in urgent & emergency care. A desperate shortage of doctors. And now doctors can't find work because of grossly inadequate NHS funding. And all of this is due to rotten decisions by politicians. Thanks, Rishi.

Health Secretary promised 150 new GP surgeries today - problem is that 450 have already shut since 2013

Student nurse, "The Tories have massively failed the NHS and social care" #BBCQT "There is a severe lack of jobs.. Thousands are about to qualify and there are no jobs, so I don't know how you're investing in the workforce" "Social care is also on it's knees.. How have you

BREAKING - Chair of Devon ICB resigns over funding and "shocking" state of infrastructure, refusing to "sign off on a further cut" Sarah Wollaston is a former GP and former Conservative MP (now left the party)

An NHS turnaround on the scale last seen when Tony Blair was in office will not be possible without billions of extra spending, @ConfedMatthew has warned Labour #confedexpo thetimes.co.uk/article/705fc0…

Well, the new GP surgeries and Community Diagnostic Centresx will sit beautifully alongside the imaginary 40 new hospitals promised in 2019. But presumably the new staff will need to be imaginary too?

I hear the press have got hold of some pictures and so I have been forced to make this statement. Needless to say, I apologise. shorturl.at/nENOY

NHS staff are not failing, they have been failed for 14 years Please RT if you agree

Wonderful to hear from Chris Bryant about his successful🤞NHS treatment twice for malignant melanoma. Somewhat contradicts Wes Streeting’s views of an NHS stuck in the 1950s, that needs reform over fixing the lethal funding deficit. Please think again

#Maternity Maternity is grossly underfunded and understaffed. Women and babies are damaged as it is. Neither main party intends to put enough money into the NHS to solve this. “Do not appeal, do not beg, do not grovel. Take courage, join hands, stand beside us, fight with us”

Just look at how the rate of increase in life expectancy has been dropping in this country. And it’s not just since COVID/2020. The decline seemed to start around 2010… weird, that.

Keep Our NHS Public That's what we want! Fund the NHS, proper pay rises, on time, stop treating doctors with disrespect and end privatisation. #SOSNHS #defendtheNHS #WesIsWrong

The waiting list for diagnostic tests has doubled in the last 10 years. The shortage of radiologists is at crisis point. Solutions? Investment in kit. Investment in salaries & working conditions to retain current staff. Investment in training new staff. theguardian.com/society/articl…

Hi Shropshire Community Health. You have a Board meeting listed for 1st August but no venue and no papers. This also means no minutes available for June's meeting (and the most recent available recording on your website is from the 4th April Board). Could this get sorted out, please? Thanks

We crunched the numbers from government spend records. And if these figures are correct, the total handed out to Tory friends and supporters through the VIP lane for useless PPE that has not been recovered stands at a staggering £979m 🤯 goodlaw.social/5c65

Our co-chair John Puntis said: “It's outrageous that patients should be financially penalised because they have reduced mobility. The solution is not to outsource it to a private company at the expense of patients, but for the NHS to up its game.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/patien…
