How very remarkable that COVID-19 [sic: formatting] is why
'we are experiencing high demand',
while also
justifying no health restrictions anywhere because
'the pandemic is over' [sic].So remarkable, in fact, that _upon it, I'm right now remarking!_

#UK's continued #Hostile Environment
JCVI #COVID #vaccination statement, autumn 2027
"Increasing #age remains the most important risk factor associated with COVID-19 hospitalisation and mortality. Accordingly, willingness to #pay increased with age"
"Some age groups among those who are #immunosuppressed did not reach the #cost-effectiveness threshold, but this may reflect the small population sizes involved."

Restoring #Britain’s #health to 2014 levels could add 2% to #GDP
A paper by the Health Foundation #ThinkTank, published on Sunday, argues the nation’s health should be valued by policymakers as an #economic #asset.
Restoring the deteriorating health of the #UK’s population to the level of 2014 would boost GDP by 2% and generate a £72bn dividend for the public finances, research suggests.

Burnham urged to ditch dangerous #UK-US NHS #drug deal
#Burnham urged to scrap the UK-US trade deal on #medicines as #health organisations and #doctors’ groups warn it is dangerous and prioritises #pharmaceutical company profits over the lives of #NHS #patients
Health groups call on expected next PM to rip up agreement, which analysis suggests could lead to 229,000 excess deaths by 2036

Stop #Palantir #bullying #OurNHS and public institutions
We call on Andy #Burnham, Keir #Starmer, and the #UK #Government to #terminate Palantir’s #NHS contract and make clear that UK public institutions are free to reject contracts without fear of legal intimidation.

UK peeps, you want Palantir to have access to all your private NHS data? You can opt out here. If enough of us do it we might actually be able to push those psychopaths out of the NHS! your-data-matters.service.nhs.uk #privacy #notopalantir #saveournhs

Well, it looks like the arrival of James Murray at the Dept.of Health *may* have produced a deal which will end the on-going dispute with the Resident Doctors.
No more money this year but accelerated rises in forthcoming years (if kept to) may do it, and has led to next week's strike being called off.
Now much will depend on whether the RDs actually trust Murray more than Streeting?

Tell your MP: take action & end NHS corridor care
In #hospitals across the country, #NHS patients are being forced to wait for treatment in #corridors, waiting rooms, queuing #ambulances or even store cupboards.
Corridor care poses huge risks to the #health of patients, as well as the #safety of NHS staff
Thousands of preventable deaths are caused each year by long A&E waits before admission to a ward.

How much do you know about the #spy-tech firm handling your #health records
More than 75,000 of us have said no to #Palantir in the #NHS, but we need even more people to do the same.
Will you tell your friends and family to email their local #hospital right now?

I stand with #NHS midwives
Across our NHS, #midwives are routinely working shifts without rest breaks.
- Many are signed up to opt out of the #Working Time #Regulations, not freely, but because speaking up feels impossible.
- #Clinical #errors linked to #fatigue are not rare #accidents, they are what happens when a system asks too much of too few people for too long.

#NHS Profit Leak Map
Yearly NHS spends billions of taxpayers money on private companies
It's meant to treat #patients, pay staff, run #hospitals
Because private #corporations make a profit, not reaches patient care. Huge amount goes to #offshore owners; some leaks out as profits & interest on debt
For this research we analysed £12 billion of expenditure by NHS #England & local NHS bodies over 2 years

... If our #health care was #privatized, this wouldn’t happen. The #Doctors and #Nurses would have to make their own way, or not, with resulting possible #shortages of staff in the #hospitals.
This situation high-lights yet another reason why it’s vital that we keep the #NHS as a National Health Service.

If It Wasn’t’ For The Workers …
Our neighbour works as a #Nurse in the Balfour #Hospital. When our road was blocked with snow, but the top road had been cleared, it was arranged that a #Coastguard vehicle would collect her at an arranged point on the top road, take her to work then bring her back again.
This is possible because the #NHS can work with the Coastguard. If our #health care ...

No, BlackRock: #OurNHS is not for sale

They just signed a deal with Greater #Manchester #Pension Fund (GMPF) to work together to increase the grip of privatisation on our NHS.
But you can tell them now
- OUR NHS IS NOT FOR SALE
The deal has only just been announced. If you act now, you can stop it in its tracks.

Can someone please tell #Starmer and Streeting that cancelling 1,000 training places is a direct harm to the health of the British public?
Insane that is being used as a threat against underpaid doctors.

#Scottish #Labour would let controversial tech giant #Palantir “gain control of our #health #data”, an MP has told The National
“But people must be under no illusions; if Labour were in Government in #Scotland, Palantir would gain control of our health data and Scottish patients would become beholden to their services as they further entrench their #monopoly on #NHS data management.”

Absolutely spot on. What is the point of a National Health Service, if it's just buying the service from for-profit companies?
What a grotesque way to funnel tax dollars to private businesses. This is the wrong direction to save the #NHS

Scrap #NHS #hospital parking charges NOW!
When we go to hospital, it’s rarely for something easy. But patients and their families are being immediately met with #fees just to #park their cars. And these charges are going up!
The Government says it wants to help the British people through tough times. Well, ministers have a chance to show they mean it - by scrapping these charges now.

#Polanski piled fresh pressure on Streeting over #Palantir’s #NHS contracts after the Health Secretary’s released messages showed Peter Mandelson talking to him about meeting #US #tech companies
Calls are growing for Palantir (which secured over £500 million in contracts) to be dropped from public books over transparency concerns
Company was co-founded by #Trump supporter Peter #Thiel

Stop Replacing Our Doctors!
Physician/anaesthesia assistants are employed more & more, many working beyond their scope. #Patients have #died due to #PAs working above their #competencies
Trusts still advertising for PAs/AAs when role requires a doctor, many of whom face #unemployment
Patients are confused by various ‘consultants’ who are NOT #medically qualified. They think they’re seeing a #doctor
This should NOT be future of #OurNHS!

2025 has not been a good year health-wise for me.
Following chemo and radiotherapy in 2024.
I have been diagnosed with lymphoedema, bronchiectasis, heart ventricular dysfunction, stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease. Phew! All of this has been discovered and treated by wonderful NHS staff. Our local trust has been fantastic and as I live in Wales my medication is free.
Although this sounds a lot and a bit of a shock I am very grateful to the National Health Service.

One of Palantir’s founders is also openly against the NHS. Peter #Thiel claimed it “makes people sick” and said that the #British people love the NHS because we’re suffering from #StockholmSyndrome.
We can’t let a company like this take control of our healthcare system.

As the Resident Doctors prepare to strike again this week, rather than listen to West Streeting malign them, why not read what Dr Jack Fletcher (chair of the British Medical Association’s UK resident doctors committee) has to say:
'we need the secretary of state to recognise the reality we’re in, to treat the profession with respect & work with us towards a credible deal'.
I doubt Streeting is listening....

We’ve noticed you’ve quietly benefited from £3.4 billion in #tax breaks via Govts patent box scheme
Scheme was meant to boost innovation & protect jobs, but instead you’ve cut #UK#jobs & moved manufacturing abroad
That money could have gone to #NHS #hospitals, training for NHS #nurses, #doctors, or towards care for loved ones
