No one’s being honest about it - how Tory #NHS crisis forces patients to go private

You’ve got a trend there, which is the state government moving responsibility for paying for healthcare away from collective resources, taxpayer income, back on to the individual.

  • Nobody’s being honest about the extent to which this is happening.
  • No politician has stood up and advocated for it.

It’s a trend which has been happening increasingly over the past 30 years with Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem parties in charge.

New Oxford University analysis has debunked #NHS privatisation

Oxford researchers looked at studies of healthcare #privatisation and found they agreed on one thing: privatisation leads to poorer quality care for patients.

Every month, private hospitals send 550 of their patients to the NHS because of an emergency they had while in the private hospital?

What’s more, in the last four years, 791 NHS patients who were transferred to be treated in private hospitals have sued for #medical #negligence - AND WON.

The evidence is crystal clear. Privatisation works for shareholders, not patients.

Save NHS dentistry and make it fit for the 21st century

I’m Tom Thayer, a hospital consultant. I treat patients left with horrifying mouth injuries after trying to pull out their own teeth out.
Everyone who needs an NHS dentist should be able to get an appointment.

But overstretched and underfunded, there are now fewer and fewer #NHS #dentists available. A recent survey found nine out of ten practices are no longer taking on new NHS patients

NHS medicines shortage putting lives at risk, pharmacists warn

Brexit benefits

An unprecedented medicines shortage in the NHS is endangering lives, pharmacists have said, as unpublished figures reveal that the number of products in short supply has doubled in two years.

Causes of the crisis are thought to include the plummeting purchasing value of the pound since the Brexit referendum

Breast Cancer Now, said her organisation had been contacted over the past 12 months by several patients unable to source the medicines they needed to control the spread of their disease.

Starmer: reinstate our NHS as a fully public service

It is time for Keir Starmer to face the facts - private interests are sucking the life out of our NHS and preying on people who are suffering.

78% of the public, including a majority of Conservative voters, want our NHS fully publicly owned and delivered.

We need private interests OUT of our healthcare. Our NHS should work for PEOPLE NOT PROFIT.

Media reports suggest this may be the last Labour conference before a general election is called next year.

So private healthcare interests will no doubt be trying to get in the ear of Keir Starmer at Labour conference this year.

It has never been more important to make sure Keir Starmer hears our collective voice LOUD AND CLEAR.

Got a minute? Send Starmer an email:

Protect the NHS and All Healthcare

We urge the Government to implement a policy requiring mask wearing in all healthcare settings including hospitals, clinics and GP practices for staff, visitors and patients. An FFP2 minimum should be mandated, to protect against infectious diseases, including COVID-19.

Vulnerable patients, such as the elderly, individuals with weakened immune systems, and those undergoing treatments, are at higher risk of severe illness or death from infectious diseases.

Requiring everyone in healthcare settings to wear masks is a crucial preventive measure to reduce the spread of diseases, including COVID-19, and protect patients from airborne infections.

Masks act as a barrier, preventing transmission and safeguarding the health of patients and healthcare workers alike.
