Thatcher's NIPG scheming to privatise 'by stealth', to 'fragment' and 'set up separate profit centres'.👇
To privatise something as crucial & loved as the #NHS has required much patience. And there's still a few more steps to go.

This is down to Streeting to fix. He seems unconcerned that the UK is haemorrhaging doctors & nurses!!

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US Health Insurance which would be 4x more expensive and worse in every way.
Except for the £600bn a year profit for him and his mates.
Not sure registered nurses share your joy @Kevin_Maguire! They used to have a standard of living commensurate with their value. Now it's living with parents, working 2 jobs or emigrating
The UK is facing a critical failure in medical workforce planning.
Thousands of doctors are trapped in a bottleneck, blocked from progressing due to a shortage of training posts.
This has been a crisis that was foreseeable and entirely preventable.

Our co-chair @DrJohnPuntis said:
"Plans to divert resources to the private sector, seek private investment for infrastructure and embrace the failed market reforms of 25 years ago are a huge concern."

Reports from @FT show 6k+ applicants for just 1700 training posts last year.
Doctors are being left in limbo, without posts and unable to progress in their career.
In an understaffed NHS this is a scandal. Government must urgently increase training posts. https://t.co/yXVEzGr6iu
Could you afford your treatment without the NHS?
We must put a stop to the creeping privatisation of health services in the UK.
Please repost if you agree.
@ModusDes@SkyNews Who gets £50ph?? They should get that of course but get real. They earn a pittance despite their qualifications, experience, knowledge, skills & unique experience

🚨 In 2019 when it was reported that Trump said
“The NHS would form part of negotiations over a possible future trade deal between the UK and US.”
We must ensure our politicians know we don't want the NHS sold off and privatised #OurNHS

"@wesstreeting is considering PFI 2.0: it could END our NHS as we know it." - @premnsikka
Previously, NHS received £13bn private investment, repayment's £80bn+. PFI is a scam. Govt guarantees corporate profits. Govt can borrow and invest at much lower cost.
🚨 #Trump is back in the White House and talking tough on trade deals. Private US healthcare giants want to get their hooks into our National Health Service. @Keir_Starmer must be clear that our #NHS is off limits - now and always.
