Dear 🇬🇧,
Here’s your weekly reminder that 10 years ago, your NHS was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don’t need a new system. You need a new govt that won’t destroy your public NHS to feed a private system. Your family isn’t safe in #ToryBritain.
#SOSNHS

ALT The 2013 Commonwealth Fund Overall Healthcare Rankings. The UK’s public system was ranked 1 overall. The privatised US system was ranked last overall. Private healthcare is always worse for patients and worse for the taxpayer. You don’t need a new system. You need a new government that won’t catastrophically defund the NHS.

Thousands of band 5 nurses are routinely ‘flung into’ advanced, risky or specialised tasks previously done by senior nurses or doctors, while being overlooked for promotion due to a ‘lack of funds.’
Has this happened to you?

🚨 BREAKING: A really serious situation across the NHS in West Yorkshire - letter to GPs warns of overcrowded A&Es & "all but the most urgent" surgeries being cancelled. Goes on to say GPs should stand down routine activity and patients should be "seen before sending" to hospital

Successive Tory governments have - in Steve Barclay’s phrase - been taking a conscious decision to harm patients for 12 years by deliberately neglecting the NHS because of their ideological hatred of the welfare state and their faith that if you are poor it’s your own fault.
