@Catheri22274003 @Keir_Starmer @JonAshworth @ge @TUSCoalition So in 2015 this happened. Ashworth didn't support the NHS reinstatement bill nor did he turn up to vote on it. But that's not all

@Catheri22274003 @Keir_Starmer @JonAshworth @ge @TUSCoalition In 2018 (when the Tories had no majority) there was another try. Eleanor Smith MP proposed this bill and it was scheduled nhsbillnow.org/eleanor-smiths…
@Catheri22274003 @Keir_Starmer @JonAshworth @ge @TUSCoalition But at the last minute it was withdrawn.
The reasons why were sketchy and vague.
Ashworth was of course Shadow Health Secretary at the time, and it was understood that he pulled it.

So, we got to the 10,000 eventually, which forces a response from the Government.
The response was puerile, facile and lied as well, particularly about the so-called "consultation". 😒
So we pressed on. (2/11)

A very long thread on aspects of the recent history of the NHS. 😊😊😊
The first attempt at removing democratic control of the #NHS was by Kenneth Clarke, when he was health secretary, 1988 - 1990. But that failed completely.

So we move on to Virginia Bottomley, who succeeded in removing the last vestiges of democratic control during the reorganisation of the NHS, prefigured here: "Health of the Nation" api.parliament.uk/historic-hansa….
Are you sitting comfortably? Area Health Authorities, 1973 - 1982 were replaced by District Health Authorities, 1982 - 1996. Thereafter no more input from those elected, the Health Authorities were entirely managed by "professionals", & are listed here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_au….
Does anybody have an interest in the #NHS ? 😊😉

The Bill would:
• reinstate the government’s duty to provide the NHS in England,
• re-establish NHS England as a special health authority with regional committees and
modified functions,
• reinstate the government’s duty to provide the NHS in England,
