The government scapegoats undocumented people for crumbling public services. But we know 14 years of cuts and privatisation is the real culprit.

We're campaigning for an end to migrant charges and a return to a 'People's NHS'.

🚨 Statement from NHS Workers Say NO!

Dear 🇬🇧,

After 190 years, let’s retire the Tories.

Dr Adrian Boyle Adrian Boyle said:

“These figures are shocking. It’s deeply concerning that people, especially older people, have lost faith in the system & are choosing to drive themselves or their loved ones to hospital out of desperation'

No words.

.Doctors in Unite said:

'If this plan goes ahead it will lead to the destitution & death of thousands of people. Strong trade unions are needed to fight for decent conditions at work so those who can work can return to jobs that meet their needs' #sicknote

Our Co-Chair John Puntis spoke to Ian Collins on Talk about NHS funding:

'In relation to other comparable European countries we don't spend as much on a per capita basis, we spend about 18% less than the average in the EU14 and I don't think we spend enough.'

'The private sector has grown steadily: the combined turnover of private hospitals, GPs & dental has increased almost 4fold since 2010, from £1.3bn to £4.9bn in 2023, data from the ONS shows'

Really important & thorough piece on where we are now headed.

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'

“I couldn't go on as part of that. I have to be able to look my NHS colleagues and patients and my constituents in the eye. I know that the Conservative govt has been failing on the thing I care about most, which is the NHS and its patients.”

Damn right.

Our Co-chair John Puntis writes for Public Sector Focus about the latest NHS public attitudes survey. It shows an alarming decline in satisfaction, with just 24% of people happy with the service.

It doesn't have to be like this.

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.

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.

Off to bed with a good book. It's out of print now; seems sadly poetic. #SaveOurNHS

A must watch from our friend, Dr Andrew Meyerson 👏👏

On Weds we launched a report we've collaborated on with Mark E Thomas @mrmarkethomas.bsky.social of @99organisation.bsky.social'The Rational Policy Maker's Guide to the NHS' to the Welsh parliament.

We were joined by 1st NHS baby, Aneira Thomas & GoT actor, Owen Teale. Read all about it 👇

This is a false economy.

Increased use of the private sector ultimately means diverting funds and resources from the NHS.

It's a political choice, and not a very good one. Fund our NHS instead.

Great piece by GP and member of Keep Our NHS Public, Dr Brian Fisher Brian Fisher on Sunak's ridiculous #sicknote approach for Metro

'Good work is good for us. But Sunak’s approach is not the prescription we need.' metro.co.uk/2024/04/22/gps…

Welcome to the UK in 2024 where hospices for end of life care need to ask the public for money to fund them in the 6th richest world economy. For shame.
