End Private Healthcare Deaths: Invest in the NHS

BBC Panorama has revealed NHS patients have died following operations at private hospitals.

Over the past few years, the government has sent NHS patients to get operations in private hospitals, funded by taxpayers. Labour backs this policy.

The vast majority of private hospitals do not have intensive care units, meaning that if patients develop complications there, their lives are in danger.

Dear Wes Streeting and Victoria Atkins, stop putting NHS patients at risk. Instead of outsourcing operations to private hospitals, invest in the NHS so that it can treat all patients.

"That means if your child's in a car wreck, if your child has a congenital heart defect or something and needs an ICU bed, or more likely if they have Covid and need an ICU bed, we don't have one. Your child will wait for another child to die," Jenkins said. "Your child will just not get on the ventilator, your child will be CareFlighted to Temple or #Oklahoma City or wherever we can find them a bed, but they won't be getting one here unless one clears."

'Your child will wait for another child to die.' Amid Covid-19 surge, Dallas County has no pediatric ICU beds left, county judge says

Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations are surging and in Dallas County, Texas, there are "zero ICU beds left for children," county judge Clay Jenkins said in a news conference Friday morning.

Texas is also in the news

• Gov. Greg Abbott asked the Texas Hospital Association earlier this week to voluntarily postpone elective medical procedures to free up ICU beds.
• The state is also bringing in 2,500 out-of-state medical personnel to relieve exhausted doctors and nurses.
• The surge in cases comes as Abbott wages war against local school and government officials who have reinstituted mask mandates.
