Requisite & Nationalise all Private Hospitals & Healthcare Providers. #RenationaliseNHS. Bring Back Bevan’s Fully Comprehensive 100% Public Beveridge NHS.

Here's the intro to our series on the US scheme behind the Health & Care Bill that’s rolling back our NHS to grow the private sector. With Nico from the @SocialistHealth Association.




It’s time for Labour to get serious about rebuilding our NHS. That means massive new public investment in healthcare instead of more money for war, and a decisive end to privatisation and outsourcing. My speech to our health conference today 👇 unison.org.uk/news/2026/04/e…

🗨️🏥 “We need a renationalised healthcare service, by and for the public.” UNISON general secretary @AndreaEganGS speaking at #uhealth26 in Edinburgh on outsourcing and privatisation in the NHS.


There are serious concerns among clinicians and patients over the changes to how GPs refer to a hospital specialist. A 🧵 1/15

More than 21,000 jobs are due to be cut in the NHS to cover a £1.1bn deficit. All while £2.5bn per year extra is given to the Private Sector. And then of course they will 'need' to give more money to the Private Sector, who do about 60% of the work, Pound for Pound vs the NHS.



Government’s 10 year NHS plan was welcomed yesterday as it brought together most of our ideas developed over last 20 years but few spotted this worrying proposal. PFI was a disastrous form of privatisation that brought the NHS to its knees.Let’s urge the government to think again

Dr Luke Evans MP for Hinckley and Bosworth voted for the Health and Care Act 2022. The denial of secondary care referrals is an intentional design feature.

@drlukeevans You should be applogising for voting in favour of the Health and Care Act 2022! US-Style Integrated Care Systems not only cannot deliver fully comprehensive healthcare free at the point of use but actively reduces, removes and restricts it. You knew this! - Shame on you.


This is called "integrated care", mister. Your government pushed this through and legislated for it with Labour's active support. Half-right criticism, from wrong end of the political spectrum.

@drlukeevans You literally voted in favour of The Health and Care ACT 2022 (U.S style Integrated Care Systems) a healthcare system that actively reduces, removes and restricts provision - The denial of secondary care referrals isn't an ICS side effect — it’s an intentional design feature.




This week, it was confirmed that Heartlands will get a share of £205 million to build one of just 10 new Urgent Treatment Centres in England. I promised when I was elected I'd fight to rebuild our A&E. Two years in, this is a massive step forward. NHS staff at Heartlands work miracles every day. But patients are being treated in corridors. That's got to stop. This new centre will end that. We're fighting for an NHS that's free at the point of use. Round the clock. Round the corner. More details on the money and the build timeline coming soon. Watch this space!


New research shows private firms made £1.6bn in profit from the NHS over the last two years. That money could have paid for over 19,000 nurses. Private companies shouldn’t be profiting from the terrible state of the NHS. Read: theguardian.com/society/2026/a…

Wes Streeting must kick Palantir out of our NHS. Donald Trump's favourite tech giant shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Brits' private health data. There are fantastic British tech firms who would be far better and safer for the NHS.


@drlukeevans @DrHWazir I dread to think what could have happened under this new scheme if my husband’s referral to oncology for his prostate cancer, which was caught early, was refused. If the Gov want to improve waiting lists they need to up training places for doctors, not turn away patients 😠


I work in an urgent treatment centre. We see 40-50% of what comes through the door of ED. These are NOT the patients that will end up on corridors. Learn what will make a difference to corridor care , it isn’t urgent treatment centres
