So you know those headlines we’re reading about the NHS wasting cash on agency staff?
Well…
The NHS once had its own in-house agency managing 90k workers
It saved millions
But…
When Jeremy Hunt was Health Secretary
He privatised it!
Unbelievable.

And…
Read this article if you dare
“Hunt spent £1.4bn on NHS redundancies - then spent £3.9bn filling the gaps with temporary agency staff in the NHS – tripling costs in just 3 years”
And of course, the private firms that cleaned up are Tory-linked.

@BolsheBarnacle @theSNP I find it amazing how this narrative has taken hold (particularly in 🏴) that 🏴's badly run when it's impossible to find comparable UK-wide data (on devolved matters) that has 🏴 performing worst & difficult to find any that doesn't have 🏴 performing best
This should be a new tourism campaign

@1johnmacdonald Attention seeker: Low grade click-bait. Don't read these things as he's just looking for internet traffic and is unable to come up with anything original. He's got a Scottish name so... duh. A Clarkson for the toffs.
