Retired #NHS nurse. Still tweeting about healthcare, mental health & improvement. Also, the odd rugby & retirement tweet.

Who will hold ⁦NHS England⁩ to account? An organisation which has: many highly paid employees, doesn’t deliver direct patient care, failed to improve #NHS performance & a large budget. Scrutiny of those charged with regulation is also required. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Tomorrow’s Front page. This Labour gov has committed 536m in aid for overseas agriculture projects, while stealing 500m a year from British farmers in Inheritance Tax raid….

Looks like ⁦⁦Keir Starmer⁩ has made his wish list for Santa. Easy to say much harder to do; the usual promises that won’t come to anything. You can’t believe him & most politicians in general #politics bbc.co.uk/news/live/crmn…

“Two-thirds of homes for service families need extensive refurbishment or rebuilding to meet modern standards, the Commons defence committee has concluded.” Supporting service personnel who defend our country has to be a priority #britishmilitary bbc.com/news/articles/…

Rowan Atkinson is completely right here. Freedom of speech is one of the most precious things in life (along with food and shelter). We lose it at our own peril.

Milton Friedman quoting Frederic Bastiat “The state is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else.” #tax #business #economics A lesson for The Labour Party

One was paid £5m a year to beat teams like Slovakia in Extra Time, but ultimately fail. The other has put his body on the line to raise over £11m in honour of his friend and the MND community who are in desperate need of treatments. Guess which one has been given a Knighthood ?

No one should feel embarrassed & intimidated in the workplace. The safety & dignity of this female #nurse have been ignored by an #NHS that ironically in its efforts to deliver diversity & equality has completely failed in this case. ⁦Sharron Davies MBE⁩ bbc.com/news/articles/…

Shrinking NHS England workforce is long overdue. While some staff make a valuable contribution to the #NHS the contribution of many (some highly paid) makes no/or has failed to make an impact on the delivery of patient care. bbc.com/news/articles/…

The abolition of NHS England has been long overdue. Hopefully many of its highly paid staff won’t be recycled into the #NHS, has is often the way with these changes, but savings from cutting their posts used for the direct delivery of patient care.

The state should provide a safety net for societies vulnerable. But with spending on health & disability benefits forecast to rise to £100.7bn in 2029-30, is the system sustainable? #benefits #health #disability #mentalhealth bbc.com/news/articles/…

Last week, in response to the announcement regarding the abolishment of NHS England , I posted on LinkedIn that hopefully many of its highly paid staff wouldn’t be recycled into the #NHS as is often the way when such change occurs. This appointment extinguishes that hope.

Those who did this are ‘enemies of the state’. Wilful damage of military equipment, particularly at this current time, is an act of treason & should be punished as such. Describing it as “an act of vandalism” shows how weak & pathetic UK Prime Minister is. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Inertia on welfare reform. ⁦The Labour Party⁩ MPs worried about their jobs, rather than putting the country 1st. Failure to introduce change will mean higher taxes, resulting in those who contribute most continuing to subsidise those who contribute little. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This highlights how #mentalhealth is not seen in the same light as physical health. The new 10yr plan for the #NHS in England describes “a workforce fit for the future”. This action by ⁦UEA⁩ doesn’t support such a stated ambition. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
