Britain's largest private hospital chain treats 1 million people a year. The #NHS treats that number every 36 hours. Only the NHS has A&E / trains doctors & nurses / treats complex cases. If we want to be serious about tackling waiting lists, we should be investing in the NHS.

Today Hospice UK are issuing an urgent warning as the financial stability of UK hospices reaches a critical point. 20% of hospices are threatened by cuts: government funding has simply failed to keep pace with growing demand and rising running costs. theguardian.com/society/articl…

"Like so much that is associated with death, hospices tend to stay out of sight and out of mind until people need them." Thank you The Guardian for standing up for the hospice sector as it faces its worst funding crisis in 20 years. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This is unsurprising. The policy towards #nursing (the largest safety critical profession in healthcare) has focused on costs. Bring down the wages bill by deprofessionalising, returning to a non graduate workforce & trapping women in low paid work

"The Health Secretary has acknowledged that the way that hospices are funded at the moment is not working. We'd urge him to now act to put hospices onto a fairer financial footing." Hospice UK's Charlie King is at the BBC today making the case for hospice sector funding reform.
