Our Co-Chair @DrJohnPuntis told the BBC: "In a well-funded and properly resourced NHS, patients would not need to use private healthcare - effectively paying twice for an essential service that should already be provided". bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

West Streetng has long faced charges that his cosy relationship to private medical firms and their funding means he will give them too much say and NHS money. And here we are. 1/2 Dozens of MPs oppose Streeting's new power to set what NHS pay for drugs theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Our govt promising to end outsourcing 👇 1/3

Evidence again that the public NHS, when funded to succeed, not defunded to fail, was and can be again amongst the best in the world ‘There is no evidence that Social Health Insurance systems outperform tax-funded systems’ ‘Tax-funded systems hold advantages on equity and administrative efficiency’ Out-of-pocket spending on health is lower ippr.org/articles/bisma…

we could put gynaecologists in every GP practice. How about a geriatrician for old geezers? Why not, add a paediatrician for kids and mums… … the problem is, we don’t have enough of any of them, so we put them all in one place, called a hospital. myemail.constantcontact.com/Work.html?soid…

Our co-chair @DrJohnPuntis said: "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." morningstaronline.co.uk/article/privat…

Dear 🇬🇧, We have the fewest doctors and nurses pp among peer countries, & with the longest waiting list in NHS history, @UKLabour thinks it wise to punish patients further by taking away 1,000 future doctors. I’m sick of these games. @WesStreeting should resign. #DoctorsStrike

Please share with the Prime Minister. Thank you. Back on shift at 22:00. Goodnight. #SOSNHS

Our co-chair @DrJohnPuntis spoke to @TalkTV earlier about today's NHS satisfaction survey results.  "When you say no political parties are arguing for privatisation, they don't argue openly for it, but their policies actually drive it in that direction."

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. Latest in The Lowdown from @JohnRLister lowdownnhs.info/emergency-care…
