#Doctors have started a three-day walk-out today, in their ongoing dispute over pay.
Initial hopes that #VictoriaAtkins might bring calm & sense where #SteveBarclay has merely inflamed the dispute have now been dashed... so, we're back with a dispute that will certainly worsen (in the sort term) the #NHScrisis.
Biut as always, lets be clear; this is not 'junior' Doctors fault, they have been backed into a corner by a #Tory govt. who have been defunding the NHS to engineer this very crisis!
-
Hmmm... so only a couple of weeks after (Hartman) #SteveBarclay was replaced as #Health Secretary, #VictoriaAtkins has helped broker a deal that the BMA will put to #consultants, to end their ongoing series of #strikes.
It seems pretty clear that Barclay was the problem with reaching a resolution, which also reinforces the notion that the #NHScrisis has been engineered by the #Tories, and is now being ended as they see mileage in ending the deadlock.... game playing with people's health!

#UK #EnvironmentSecretary took donation from funder of climate sceptic thinktank | #SteveBarclay | The Guardian
Nothing shady about that. [Sarc.]

"UK environment secretary took donation from funder of climate sceptic thinktank"
It is generally safe to assume that Tory ministers are bad eggs; it goes with the territory. But this is just taking the piss.

You couldn't make it up. #SteveBarclay the new #environment chief, who's major job will be to clean our #sewage infected waters, is married to a top Anglian Water boss. The complete disdain this shows 4 British people is almost unimaginable. https://tinyurl.com/39fdms9d #rejoinEU #TorySewageparty #StandWithUkraine

OMG, after we find that the new #health secretary, Victoria Atkins' husband works for British Sugar, now we find that #SteveBarclay, incoming #Environmental Secretary is married to a senior executive at Anglian Water (currently under investigation, by OfWat for #sewage dumping).
Hmm... what was that about #ToryCorruption, again?

Aha, #SteveBarclay has departed from #Health to take up #Environment.... will that free up a more sensible #Tory (I know, not that likely) to take a more consensual approach to the #NHSCrisis in all its dimensions?
Immediate update: its Victoria Atkins... who?
here's the wikipedia article for #NHS watchers to digest & read the runes from

CW: UK Politics, Israel-Gaza war
If you are outraged by a bit of graffiti but totally cool with the slaughter of 4000+ children, I suggest you need to re-evaluate your priorities.

The BMA/Consultants have agreed to pause #strike action(s) while they talk to #SteveBarclay, who has reassured #Tory backwoodsmen that 'headline pay will not be on the table'.... but that word 'headline' will be doing a lot of work.
If Barclay is acting in good faith (but he *is* a #Tory), then this might be the first step to de-escalate the aspect of the #NHScrisis related to the withdrawal of labour.
Much of this is initially going to be about what each side thinks the other is offering!

Here’s what you need to know about #SteveBarclay’s #proposal to #ban #trans #women from #female #NHS #wards.
Openly #trans #Conservative #MP, #JamieWallis, has #lashedout at the #healthsecretary and urged him to solve #problems “which actually #exist” and also stated there was “no #evidence of even a single complaint bout the presence of #trans #women in particular spaces”.

CW: UK Transfeindlichkeit NHS
Der zuständige Minister für Gesundheit im #UK #SteveBarclay hat Pläne für das angeschlagene Gesundheitswesen #NHS und widmet sich einem aus seiner Sicht wichtigem Thema: "Wokery"
Er kündigt an, #trans Frauen aus weiblich gegenderten Stationen in Kliniken verbannen zu wollen.Trans Personen sind ohnehin schon beim Zugang zu Gesundheit benachteiligt, dies wird sich dadurch nochmal deutlich verstärken.

you'll be unsurprised to know that while the #BMA is willing to go to ACAS for mediated pay talks, #SteveBarclay (through 'friends') as said there's an offer on the table, take it or leave it...
One can only conclude that the #Health Secretary thinks by paying hard ball he can 'break' the #Doctors... even if in the short-term he may be proved right, in the longer term, this intransigence will have a major impact on Doctors' morale & recruitment.
One more #Tory wrecking the #healthservice!!

As #RishiSunak prepares to reduce the winter fuel allowance for #pensioners, taking our cue from #SteveBarclay, we should now all loudly accuse Rishi Sunak of withholding #heat from the elderly....
-
The war of words around the #Doctors #strike reaches a new low with #SteveBarclay acusing striking consultants of withholding #cancer treatments;
But, as Dr Vishal Sharma (BMA) observes: it was “incredibly rich of the secretary of state to invoke time-critical procedures when his government has overseen a steep increase in waiting lists that saw them reach record levels even before any strike action took place”.
Its the #Tories that have caused the #NHScrisis not the doctors!
-
#SteveBarclay condemned the #doctors strike as being 'coordinated & calculated'.... so unlike the #Tories policy making, then.
Meanwhile, the Govt. is looking to invoke the anti-strike law on minimum service levels to 'force' doctors & #nurses to work... Well that's certainly going to to further inflame the #NHScrisis.
The right-to-strike is not only a #democratic right, without it employment starts to look more like authoritarian control than a transaction between #workers & employers!

As this weekend's #doctors #strike enters is 2nd day, you will be unsurprised that the issue is essentially what counts as a 'credible offer' on pay & conditions; #RishiSunak & #SteveBarclay think what they have offered is 'credible', the #BMA (and doctors) don't agree.
If I'm asked to choose between the #Tories & #healthcare professionals' view of what is 'credible' in the #NHS, you'll forgive me if I dismiss the Tory position, based on their engineering of the #NHS crisis in the first place!

Words that do not exist, uttered repeatedly by health minister Steve Barclay on Sophy Ridge’s show on Sky this morning: “shuge” and “shugely”. If he hasn’t mastered his native language by this point in his life, what hope is there for the NHS? 😂
-
The #BMA is raising the stakes; now threatening that all doctors (from consultants & specialists to 'junior' doctors) will be taking #strike action before the next #election if the Govt. do not meet their demands for pay to increased to make up for its historic real terms decline.
Given that #SteveBarclay for now continues to want to play 'hardball' we are heading towards a long(er) period of disruption.
As always remember this all stems from #Tories defunding of the NHS;
-
As we head towards a(nother) #JuniorDoctors #strike... once again its worth emphasising that this is a strike that has been directly caused by the #Tories defunding of the #NHS, their callous attitude to the well-being of others & their strategy of driving (rich-enough) #patients into the arms of private #healthcare.
If #RishiSunak or #SteveBarclay actually wanted to reach a deal with the BMA/Junior Doctors they could, but they are choosing not to.
-
Hmmm... what's happened to the promised #NHS workforce plan?
Well it seems it has been delayed while #RishiSunak & #JeremyHunt 'go through the details', which is #Tory speak for cut & trim the commitments to reduce the amount of money to be committed.
So, of course, #Tory defunding of the NHS will continue, while #SteveBarclay admits that past commitment(s) to 40 new hospitals, really includes refurbishments & extensions rather than 40 new #hospitals.
