Now let’s all focus on developing a National Palliative Care Service. https://t.co/zKuR0eKCJf

MPs were lied to & are being bamboozled about the implications of voting for the assisted suicide bill.

Some started this to encourage debate.

Debate in the Lords - not on the principle but on the safety of the bill - roundly condemned it.

MPs now face a vote on a lethal bill.

How about an international competition to rehabilitate this space for public use?

Welcome to what’s been happening to public sector salaries for twenty years.

The biggest hits have been taken by NHS doctors.

Great summary of @wesstreeting’s term as Secretary of State for Health.

“Full of sound and fury
But signifying nothing (positive).”

@jamesmurray_ldn must focus on getting patients to see doctors.

That means pay restitution, meaningful workforce planning & finishing strikes.

[🇺🇦 Dr Kevin O'Kane 🇺🇦 @DrOKaneAgain]

Congratulations on becoming Secretary of State for Health @jamesmurray_ldn !

I trust it’s not a John Reid moment.

Please:

1. Engage with doctors.

2. Commit to pay restoration.

3. Implement The Leng Report &

4. Support our publicly funded publicly provided NHS.

Can we now have a Health Secretary who is not bought and paid for by private health care providers, who knows the unique value of doctors, and is willing to work with @theBMA?

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

No experience necessary - an MP starts on £110,000 plus two homes allowance and very generous expenses.

15-plus years of training and £100,00-plus of student debt, an NHS consultant starts on £109,725.

Who are the mugs?

[🇺🇦 Dr Kevin O'Kane 🇺🇦 @DrOKaneAgain]

House-hunting.

It’s time to make @AmbJapanUK an Honorary Citizen of Glasgow.

We know doctors have been replaced by “associates”.

We know it’s not safe to replace doctors with “associates”.

We know it must be reversed.

Let’s establish the scale of the problem.

Today, this freedom of information request was issued to every NHS trust in the capital.👇🏼

Hi @wesstreeting!

I hope you’re enjoying your two-month summer holiday.

At the last general election, you were elected by a 0.6% majority.

90% of @BMAResidents voted for strike action.

I promise that there will be a pro-NHS doctor standing against you at the next election.

Multimillionaire long-retired doctor, who benefited from free university tuition, a national merit award & a platinum-plated pension, with an international private practice & a private medical school, says today’s doctors aren’t worth the same as his cleaner.

Shame!

Go away!

[🇺🇦 Dr Kevin O'Kane 🇺🇦 @DrOKaneAgain]

Retired doc complains he wasn’t consulted on a strike ballot for junior doctors.

Unelected peer calls for democracy.

Lord Winston had tuition fees paid & received a maintenance grant.

He did private practice & received an A-Grade Merit Award boosting his pension.

Get over it.
