Save Our Hospital Services Devon is campaigning against Government cuts being implemented by the NEW Devon CCG, totalling £550 million + by 2020. Please join.
Today MPs vote on the Tories' new NHS Bill.
It puts private companies on health boards, opens the floodgates to more cronyism & incentivises cuts & closures.
It's an NHS Corporate Takeover Bill & a recipe for more privatisation. My amendment rejecting this attack on our NHS:
Doctors are getting messages from NHS management to ‘limit the blood tests you do’ due to a blood bottle shortage. We never do blood test unnecessarily. I believe there are no shortages in Europe so looking into reasons for this worrying development
@doctor_oxford @margaret_ruane It's also giving big lucrative contracts to its crony mates, big corporations including US private health companies like United Health/Optum, Centene/Operose, Cerne, PWC Deloitte, Serco etc etc to badly restructure NHS & denationalise it,while those frontline services are starved
This is how the NHS is destroyed. Not sold off in flamboyant chunks, but stealthily, deliberately hollowed out from within. Underfunded & understaffed into oblivion.
This Govt knows exactly how much misery they’re inflicting
And they don’t give a damn 😔

£113 billion of NHS money was given to non-NHS providers from 2010-2020.
This was before the pandemic even struck.
The Tories are deliberately creating an NHS Crisis to justify wholesale privatisation of our NHS.
Get your own house in order before you interfere in the NHS. US health care is worst in advanced economies yet Health and Care Bill wants US health corporations deep in our NHS.#ScraptheHealthandCareBill#ournhs#saveournhs@davmidd@19MW98

So health minister Lord Bethell conveniently “broke” his phone, meaning all its private texts and WhatsApps, relating to an eye-watering £85 million of Covid contracts, may never be retrieved.
I think this beggars belief 🤷♀️
RT if you do too. https://t.co/OzgicXteC6
MPs just voted on the Tories' new NHS Bill.
It extends NHS privatisation, opens the floodgates to cronyism, & incentivises cuts & closures. It's really an NHS Corporate Takeover Bill.
I voted against it, but Tory MPs voted it through. I'll keep fighting for our NHS 👊��
The Conservatives have never liked the idea of an NHS, truly free from the corrosive influence of private profit.
They want to break it up, piece-by-piece, privatising it by stealth. That's what their new NHS Bill is all about.
Whilst I couldn't be there to join them since I am self-isolating, I am proud that NHS workers today handed-in a petition to Downing Street signed by 800,000+ people, demanding they get a proper pay rise, along with our letter to the Prime Minister, echoing the call:
This amounts to just 0.5% after inflation.
It's insulting and yet the Health Secretary – who was paid £300,000+ by big business last year in addition to his MP salary – is trying to portray it as generous.
NHS workers have faced a decade of falling pay. They deserve a 15% rise.
Terrific turnout by Ilford residents at last night's rally for @Centene to be kicked out of the Loxford Practice 🪧📢
It's time to put an end to the privatisation and sell-off of our beloved NHS! 🏥
