Where does all the NHS money go? A 💈

Constant wrangling over NHS finances: it’s a bottomless pit - it’s mismanaged - it’s a huge amount - it’s not enough - will never be enough....

Where to start with all of this?

Let’s take a look....

@WilkoAnaesICM @Jopo_dr Thanks! Don’t think it’ll ever break records for citations but glad it was of interest.

1/7 Dear @Jeremy_Hunt & @sajidjavid

Come & speak with us at @BMA_Pensions , *please*.

Surveys have shown the primary driver to this trend, for 10+ years (with successive failed policy since 2011), is *punitive pension taxation* - specifically ⬇️AA, ⬇️LTA & the dreaded "taper".

There’s just 1 day left to vote in our Council Elections! We’ve got 14 fantastic candidates but only 6 open spaces, so your voice is crucial.

Finally, and in common with many of my threads, government need to sort this out mess properly, with a lasting simple solution (such as judges tax unregistered). This is a mess that needs sorting. Now.

Talk to us at @BMA_Pensions @sajidjavid @RishiSunak

Face mask ventilation is fine, intubation is fine.

A cough from an infected person is highly contagious.

We need to stop talking about AGPs.

Protect the covid wards properly, remove the ridiculous rules about aerosol generation for elective procedures.

[Caz Sampson @caz_sampson]

This is an excellent thread - thank you for so eloquently saying what we are all thinking @danielgoyal
Most hard hitting fact in your 🧵? That the public money spent on T&T is more than 3 x the entire primary care budget 😯

Not acceptable behaviour at all at any time - even less so when we've been asking so much of all healthcare staff over the last 18 months, with no signs that we won't keep burning through any remaining goodwill this winter.

[James Beck @drjamesbeck]

A gentle reminder that the @ICS_updates council elections are open. Members should have received an email with instructions. If you want an enthusiastic and plain spoken consultant then please consider voting for me. I am very much a real grass roots & front line intensivist.

[James Beck @drjamesbeck]

@Cheapoflurane @UKANRO You simply cannot treat people like this. All from an anonymous admin officer too (although I don’t blame that individual who presumably got ordered to send the email). I’d be incandescent with rage.

[veerappan @veerappan91050]

18th ACCS and 11th UAC are scheduled for 28th and 29th Apr 2022 at Manchester. Fantastic faculty. Online registration will be available soon. Abstracts welcome. Please support this non-profit educational event. Good faculty and program. Please retweet and tell your colleagues

With COVID cases on the rise, we believe it’s time for decisive action. 2 years on from the beginning of the pandemic, it’s still vital we protect the NHS from becoming overwhelmed.
