‘It’s part of their plan to run down the NHS by underfunding it and then to claim that the only answer is more privatisation.’
‘It’s part of their plan to run down the NHS by underfunding it and then to claim that the only answer is more privatisation.’
This is absolutely damning
“The call from the public is too clear for Keir Starmer to ignore – we want an NHS we can be proud of again.”
“The elephant in the room is who will staff these additional beds? Nursing staff are already spread too thinly over too many patients.”
It comes as NHS waiting lists reach a record 7.6million.
‘I think it is amazing that we are blaming the increase in waiting lists on doctors going on strike’
“By the definition the government used in 2020, it will not now deliver 40 new hospitals by 2030.”
The senior doctors’ strike has proven a particular bugbear for many on the Right. Amid the gushing anniversary celebrations, the Tory press didn’t hold back in making its contempt over the consultants’ industrial action known.
The stark warning was made in a letter sent to Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer and Ed Davey by the Health Foundation, Nuffield Trust and The King’s Fund.
They’re launching a new campaign called ‘Only the NHS’
