From #nhs workers of what we’ve seen happen to #ourNHS over the past few years

The #ToriesTrackRecord speaks for itself

Thread ⬇️
1️⃣ FUNDING

These promises of “extra spending” we hear every year never materialise

The reality: An NHS underfunded by by 30% since 2010

That’s 30 BILLION / year short

The recent ‘cash injection’ promised by the Tories, is STILL under what the 4% needed to stop further decline
2️⃣STAFFING

Dangerous staffing shortages across the NHS

40,000 nurses
10,000 Hospital DRs
7000 GPs

For years the govt have been warned about the worsening shortages

Their response:

Visa caps
Nursing bursary cut
Training budgets cut
Imposing unfair contracts on Junior DRs
The staffing shortages not only put patient safety at risk

But put immense pressures NHS staff

Many of my colleagues end up working unpaid overtime

And many suffer from stress & burnout

There have been 430 doctor & 300
Nurse suicides in the last 7 years
3️⃣ MIGRATION

We have the worst #WaitingTimes on record

govts response?

Instead of taking responsibility for their OWN policy failures

They blamed migrants

Straight from the #ToryAusterity playbook

The reality:
#Migrants on average use the NHS LESS than native born people
#OurNHS was built by migrants

Our #NHS & #SocialCare would collapse without its migrant workforce

The xenophobic sentiment promoted by some of the leave campaign has led to 90% drop in nurse registrations from EU

Plus a ⬆️ in racial abuse towards #NHS workers

Utterly Shameful
4️⃣ Privatisation

Our NHS is ALREADY being privitised & costing billions

Read this brilliant article by @SamanthaJWathen for @tribunemagazine explaining the true extent of #NHSPrivatisation
