Sajid Javid says we need to pay £20 for a GP appointment and £66 to go to A&E as a way to solve the NHS funding crisis. He’s wrong because there are so many better options in my new report on funding the NHS. A thread…..

I think the proper term is cashier

I have done my workings on the NHS pay deal and I am completely baffled that any union would accept what is on offer. A thread…
