GP practices got £152/patient/year in 2015. Today it's £169. If that had tracked inflation, it'd be £209. That's a 20% real-terms cut to the money that keeps your local surgery running. 🧵 New episode of the Medics' Money podcast breaks down the numbers. https://t.co/Vz22eesR1s
If that's true, one thing we can do is force employers to pay actual livable wages, meaning that 40% of the UC budget could be immediately cut because people wouldn't need top ups any more.
@Ifoughtthelawn@NHSMillion Why don’t we spend what the Netherlands spends in our current system and check the outcome? That would be easier and cheaper than the admin required for a full re-org.
This a just a tax on refugees. Imagine applying to the kindertransport children leeing Nazi Germany, and withholding refugee status they are entitled to.
Still chasing Farage down a dead end.

@nysuri The last time these shenanigans were happening in the ‘70s, my parents upped and left and shook the dust from their feet. I must consider my position.
@Lunatic__Fringe@1NCRDB1 The population is roughly 300M. The electorate is 239M. He got 77.3M votes. Not even half the country, much less half the electorate. That means nearly 70% DIDN’T vote for him. Try again.
The GMC reforms that are on the table won’t fix what’s broken.
Doctors are being let down by a system that lacks fairness, patients are feeling the impact too. We need to see real change. Sign the petition👉 https://t.co/Fl8qX7Uj7K
@medicaccountant@DrSteveTaylor The government taking back direct responsibility for the NHS is a good thing. Separating the SOS from responsibility was a ploy by Jeremy (c)Hunt to absolve himself of liability.
@wesstreeting@BethRigby You know how sometimes you can tell which way a car will turn even though it doesn’t indicate? Taxi drivers call it “Road French”.
Your vision for the NHS is abhorrent.
That you haven’t articulated it means you’re a liar.
@BethRigby@breeallegretti@patrickkmaguire And it could be reported thus: “factions in the party are wanting us to tell you xyz, in the hope it triggers some sort of response from other factions.” As opposed to tabloid fodder nonsense of who is in with whom. Ugh! Trivialising stuff that will send my mortgage rate skyward.
@BethRigby@breeallegretti@patrickkmaguire May I just say that the gleeful, febrile speculation is unbecoming and make you lot look like children egging on bullies in a fight.
