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.
