Strong call for Housing Justice, more social housing, truly affordable, rent caps and the Housing for Health bloc - the Central London demo marched down Oxford Street and to Berkeley Sq

In the latest in our Podcast series, KONP member Brenda Allen & @drstevetaylor.bsky.social from @thedauk.bsky.social
expose the stark truth: despite primary care handling 90% of patient contacts, it only gets about 9% of the NHS budget.

"The lesson is that the NHS should never contract out its core services to its major competitors while mis-representing the independent sector as a valued partner with shared values."

Never mind that the NHS is the ONLY place that trains docs! The private sector do not train, they just steal trained docs away.
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
@keepournhspublic.bsky.social

"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."

Today, @fletchjack.bsky.social Chair of the Residents
Drs committee at @bma.org.uk spoke to our Co-Chair

We stand by Resident Doctors in their fight for pay restoration and decent working conditions. There can be no NHS without them.

Resident doctors on a picket line outside St Thomas' Hospital. Their signs say "Doctors Need Jobs Now"
Medicine can't be done on the cheap, cutting corners that risk patient safety.
Invest in the future of the NHS - back your resident doctors.
100%
The fact that some staff never earn as much as a new Dr doesn't mean Drs are overpaid, it means other staff are ALSO poorly paid, & Drs (even on day 1) have a lot more responsibility.
It's a disingenuous argument designed to create division - & it stinks.
After all they've given. For shame.
My mind's blown - it's not GP appointment access that drives waits in A&E; people are avoiding going to A&E because of corridor care concerns, meaning they delay going to get care, turn up at GPs (or walk in centres) when too ill to be there and go to A&E even sicker, and reluctantly.
@keepournhspublic.bsky.social sent me a link to this new podcast via an email.
Consider joining, listen on your commute and at other times to keep up to date.

What a fantastic solution to the threat of reducing patient care for 6 days.
Let's instead reduce it for the foreseeable future.

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."

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…
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.

Healthcare workers and patients stand on Westminster bridge, holding placards and flags. Two people sit in wheelchairs holding signs saying "end corridor care" and "invest in NHS beds & social care now!"

Four healthcare workers hold signs on Westminster bridge reading "end corridor care" and "invest in NHS beds & social care now". One sign shows a graph of hospital bed availability in the UK vs the OECD average (2.4 v 4.6 per 1000 people)

Agreed. This so-called 'opting out' is often just desperation. People are being squeezed out because the underfunding has led to undercapacity.
