Major contract now signed with @Cerner & I'm delighted that @NewcastleHosps is able to support the region in this major step towards improving care & securely connecting patient information https://t.co/evatHn0ZTe @DistieProfit @YvonneOrmston @GreatNorthCare
"Labour has announced it wants to fund social care by cutting NHS budgets ...it's the same "Integrated Care" plan the Tories wish to impose to cut costs and deprive people of treatment."
In 2021
• The Tories have given more than £15bn to private health
• They’ve appointed private health bosses to NHS bodies
• They’ve appointed US health bosses to government
• They’ve given peerages to private health donors
• US banking staff now run the NHS
As a young lad I spent 4 months in Ulster Hospital. Multiple operations & blood transfusions. A year of aftercare. The NHS saved not just my leg but my life. The very existence of the NHS is under threat, everyone must stand up but more so those of us who owe it so much.
Fight.
I would have preferred if Labour had called for Hancock to be sacked for allowing Covid hospital patients to be discharged to Care Homes, killing thousands.
Rowing back on free social care is another reminder that today’s Labour leaders – no matter how much they might drape themselves in its glory – would never have had the political courage to build the NHS.
That took real socialism, not empty corporate politics.
@BeckettUnite @mojos55 So that's what they meant by 40 new hospitals.
Forget local schools affecting house prices. The value of your house will shoot up if you happen to live in a county that has a hospital.
Tory latest NHS plans are ten times more dangerous than the Lansley/Cameron model.
Tories plan to close up to 70 A&Es and shrink our NHS capacity down to just 40 major hospitals.
90% of Constituencies will end up without a major hospital.
We are at a dangerous crossroads.
The reason for fire & rehire; precarious work; zero hour contracts; the greed of Amazon; 1% for the NHS; the privatisation of the NHS, is the politics of our society. Fighting in workplaces, communities & in politics is the role of our movement.
