What is the “NHS’s dirty little secret”?

The front page of Friday's Daily Telegraph raised an eyebrow. And then I noticed who the author of this piece was, Kate Andrews.

So what is this "dirty little secret"?
A thread.
(1/25) Article headline: Kate Andrews / The NHS's dirty little secrDaily Telegraph front page from Friday 10 December 2021.
Before I do that, let’s just take a quick look at the author of this piece.

Kate Andrews is:
- a US citizen
- Economics Editor for The Spectator

Neither of these are mentioned in the article.

You might have seen her in her numerous appearances on the BBC.
(2/25) Screenshot of the article (behind a paywall) in the Daily Te
Kate Andrews used to be:

- Associate Director at the opaquely-funded, climate-change denying, NHS-abolishing think-thank, the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA)
- Head of Comms at the highly-opaque, neoliberal think-thank the Adam Smith Institute

Again, not mentioned.

How can we personalize protection of COVID-19 risk groups beyond age and existing conditions? New @NgaleHealth study identifies a blood biomarker score predicting risk of severe COVID-19, before contracting the virus
medrxiv.org/content/10.110… #safereturntowork
We measured blood biomarkers by @NgaleHealth metabolomics in >100,000 samples from @uk_biobank. Blood samples were collected 10 years ago, metabolomics data became available late-May. This initiative will lead to many papers - we started with COVID-19. Summary on what we found 👇

On this day in 1948, the National Health Service came into existence thanks to a Labour government. They knew that wealth should not be a barrier to access to health and care. Our principles of fairness were put into practice once in power. (1/8) Image
Nye Bevan was the minister entrusted by Attlee to create the NHS. Bevan was 1 of 10 children – only 6 of whom survived into adulthood – born into a Welsh mining community at the end of the 19th century. He worked in the pit from the age of 13 and experienced real hardship. (2/8) Image
Bevan was inspired by the Tredegar Workmen’s Medical Aid Society, which insured local miners and steel workers: "All I am doing is extending to the entire population of Britain the benefits we had in Tredegar for a generation or more. We are going to Tredegar-ise you." (3/8)

I cycled past Louie but I doubled back as he looked so chilled.

“The sunshine.”
Even inside our hearts are outside.
