Dear me!
NHS England and trusts hunkering down for a fight to drive Palantir’s involvement with the NHS Federated Data Platform and suppress opposition through by threatening staff

Some Palantir employees now have access to all NHS email addresses of staff, no permission from staff needed. This will ramp up calls to end the £330m contract with Palantir and its Foundry asap

"The latest reports that training places could be restricted if strikes continue reveal something deeply troubling. Training, the very mechanism by which the NHS sustains itself, is being positioned as a bargaining chip."

Our co-chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social spoke to Talk TV earlier about today's NHS satisfaction survey results.
"When you say no political parties arguing for privatisation, they don't argue openly for it, but their policies actually drive it in that direction."

Bullying threats from Starmer carried out today - cutting 1000 doctor training posts. How utterly stupid!!
BREAKING: People who need support to cope with everyday life are incentivised to get support.
I've been a national press officer for nearly a decade, but slap my ass and call me Judy - this may be the biggest scoop I've ever come across!!

Govt obsession with small improvements on elective care while the failing standards in emergency care cause 16,600 avoidable deaths and untold misery in one year.
Latest in The Lowdown from @johnrlister.bsky.social
@keepournhspublic.bsky.social

… by extracting from the one pool of nurses, doctors, consultants, theatre technicians both employed and trained by the NHS, depleting the skilled staff time available in the NHS itself
When the NHS has been funded to meet the needs of the population, private healthcare has been static. Its growth shows how successive govts failed to support this essential public service to provide universal healthcare for all. A growing private sector undermines resilience & strength of the NHS…
Our protest last week drew national and international attention. Corridor care is dangerous and inhumane and must be urgently addressed by this govt.
16,600 people die AVOIDABLY every year - this is nothing short of a national disgrace.

Our Co-Chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social writes for @publicsectorfocus.bsky.social this month about the growing racism and violence crisis in the NHS.

In yesterday's spring statement there was more money announced for military spending, but nothing for our NHS.
16,600 people are dying completely avoidably every year - this is an emergency.

Our Co-Chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social said:
“A cross-departmental approach to reducing health inequalities should be a govt priority, rather than a narrow focus on dubious future benefits from such things as AI and gene testing.”

Our co-chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social said in the Sunday Express:
"When the NHS has been funded to meet the needs of the population, access to private healthcare has been static. This is a sign of how govts have failed to provide essential healthcare for all."

Our successful protest yesterday outside parliament drew the attention of several MPs who were presented with our briefing and the opportunity to follow up.
Corridor care is extremely dangerous for patients and traumatising for staff - it must end NOW.

Join @roylilley1.bsky.social and say to Streeting: ‘STOP - or have more deaths on your conscience’ (hope it’s there).
If we halt decimation of #NHS workforce, that vital experience can solve the problems of years of underfunding & diversion of resources to the private sector
x.com/roylilley/st...
Govt wants to shift care from hospital to community but refuses to fund NHS community services needed
Beware re-run of Streeting’s call to use private ‘spare capacity’ - there isn’t any
No to ‘turbocharging’ private expansion on NHS funds
Invest in NHS community & GP services

Yesterday we joined @greenparty.org.uk leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social as he handed in a ‘termination of contract’ letter to Palantir.
We oppose Palantir NHS contracts because a secretive surveillance firm linked to the Gaza genocide has no place handling our public health data.
4th report in a yr highlights mortal danger for patients cared for in hospital corridors
£10bn for AI/data platforms wrong priority Wes Streeting
More important
❗️Sort social care now not 2028
❗️More GPs & funds
❗️Reopen & staff closed hospital beds
❗️Rebuild #NHS not private health cos

“Next time you can’t see your GP, you’re waiting double digit hours in A&E, or wait over a year to see a specialist, ask if secure employment for Drs sounds unreasonable. Our unemployment crisis is a public health crisis."
