Our co-chair @DrJohnPuntis 📢 "The choice of Lord Darzi to lead a review suggests direction of travel may be backwards to such failed experiments as polyclinics & independent-sector treatment centres, rather than forward to meet all the present challenges” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/health…

Our co-chair @DrTonyOSullivan 📢 "Severe shortages of scanners must be remedied quickly, so too the gap in trained key staff, part of the legacy of neglect they inherit. Govt must urgently invest in NHS staff, equiqmt & resources to build for the future" morningstaronline.co.uk/article/stagge…

🚨 BREAKING: The UK government “failed their citizens" in failing to properly prepare for the Covid-19 pandemic according to the first report from the public inquiry

Our Co-Chair, @DrJohnPuntis spoke to @bcbradio: "My worry in Streeting saying the NHS is broken is that sort of language was also used by Tories who were saying the NHS *model* was broken...I'd be very worried if by 'broken' Streeting means we should change to a different model"

Our co-chair @DrJohnPuntis: "Hospitals are facing very challenging finances with many thinking about staffing cuts. Just as for gen practice, increased funding to hospitals is crucial for reducing wait lists & improving public satisfaction with services.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/nhs-wi…

Our co-chair @DrJohnPuntis said: "Forcing hospitals to become more like businesses has undoubtedly contributed to less patient-focused services. Adequate resourcing is one of the prerequisites for positive culture change.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/nhs-pa…

Important meeting on migrant charging.

@Heccles94 @SocialistNHS @keepnhspublic @NHSMillion @NurseSayNO NOT Happy with this. No to privatisation in the NHS. #SOSNHS

Starmer’s NHS “enforcer” to be Alan Milburn? Late of Bridgepoint Capital / Care UK, and of privatisers-in-chief PWC? Architect of Blair’s worst, most corporate-friendly, most money-wasting and frankly dangerous NHS ideas? That Alan Milburn? Oh God. opendemocracy.net/en/ournhs/milb…

@keepnhspublic @EndSCDisgrace Labour’s plans for the NHS will need much more ambition if party is elected to govern the day before NHS 76th birthday bmj.com/content/385/bm…

Our co-chair @DrTonyOSullivan said: "KONP will never endorse and is strongly opposed to, private healthcare. We are extremely critical of Labour’s intention to promote the private sector through its intention to use ‘spare capacity’ to ‘help’ the NHS.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/privat…
