As an NHS palliative care doctor, it’s my #publicduty to inform the public that 9 years of brutal underfunding have run the NHS into the ground. We want to care for you brilliantly but we are at breaking point. The NHS won’t survive another 5 years of this.

A few examples from the NHS frontline. When I qualified in 2009 nobody lay on a trolley in an ED corridor in my hospital. Nobody. Now it’s routine. Every winter. With ambulances queuing round the block. With staff & patients equally desperate. In the world’s 6th richest country.
Now I meet patients in agony, in sheer desperation, who have waited well over a *year* for a simple hip replacement. Some are trapped inside by their pain. Some fall, inevitably, and fracture that hip. 9 years ago? You’d have your surgery in weeks. The contrast is diabolical.
