@Jordanriv @ShaunLintern Cherry picking easy cases, charging the same, effectively making more per procedure (cost vs complexity).

Often politicians speak as if there are huge empty private hospitals full of staff waiting to help, this is not the case.

It is a choice where we put our money.

@Heccles94 @ShaunLintern That's right, the private sector will benefit a wealthy few, but only while the NHS is there to pick up the bulk of the work.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

@ShaunLintern Not forgeting the study in the Lancet showing correlation between Increased privitisation and increased mortality.

The private sector lacks the capacity to save us. Only the NHS has the capacity. It just needs funding properly, instead of being asset stripped.

With record waiting lists more and more people are paying to skip the queue. But they could be skipping vital safeguards too.

Most private hospitals lack proper overnight cover and don't have intensive care. When things go wrong patients can be "A&E dumped" in the local NHS Trust. On avg 550 patients a month are admitted to NHS trusts from a private hospitals 8/9

This week Tony Dixon, a mesh surgeon in Bristol, faces a GMC hearing for misconduct. He may have harmed hundreds across both NHS and private sectors: 7/9

Are patients protected by insurance. Not always. In a staggering gap some insurers have complete discretion to walk away without paying a penny in compensation. It had tragic consequences for Gina Tilley's family 6/9

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

Financial motives can influence care in private healthcare. @CHPIthinktank found more than 600 consultants had shares or a stake in hospitals they sent patients to, while 77 doctors received a fee each time equipment they owned was used for treating or diagnosing patients. 5/9

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

Breast surgeon Ian Paterson harmed hundreds of his patients. But was he really a rogue? Compensation for negligence (excluding his victims) shows unnecessary surgery is the single largest category. This is only a glimpse into the opaque world of private healthcare 2/9

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Rishi Sunak is funnelling thousands of NHS patients into private hospitals.

The Sunday times has learned of hundreds of cases of unnecessary surgery in those organisations.

Please RT if you think everyone should be aware.

Tory govt has covertly signed a contract targeting 20% cuts to new education plans for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to bring down costs.

With a SEND son, I know the pain this will cause to so many children & families

This is appalling. The Government has quietly signed a contract targeting 20% cuts to the number of new education plans for children with special educational needs and disabilities (Send) to bring down costs

Tactical voting isn’t just how we beat the Tories.

It’s how we absolutely humiliate them.

Make them fucking cry.

BMW wants £600m and that’s no problem. The NHS needs £600m and oddly there is no money available. https://t.co/ET528DEah9

Gillian Keegan remarks when the #ConcreteCrisis was explained to her back in February ‘We just need to keep the lid on this for two years and then it’s someone else’s problem.’

This is not leadership or competency - its lying and inexcusable cynicism. Wonder what her #Chichester constituents think? 

People deserve better

Dear 🇬🇧,

This is a real headline. In 2023. In the 6th wealthiest country on Earth. If you value the health of your family, never vote for the @Conservatives ever again.
