Since the local council elections 18 months ago in May 2017, the Conservative administration at Perth and Kinross Council have:

1 - Tried to pay one of their councillors for a job he wasn't doing.

2 - Gerrymandered two committees to load them in their favour.

3 - Made comments about 'putting them back in their box', regarding the SNP group.

NEW: Have spent the morning talking to several doctors across the country, in London, the North East and the Midlands about how the #NHS it dealing with #COVID19.

What I’ve been told is eye opening. Please give this thread a read:

1/6
Multiple doctors told me that me that #COVID19 tests are taking up to 5 days to come back. In that time patients cannot be kept in isolation because of lack of space.

So in that 3-5 day period, if they have Corona virus they are exposed to staff and other patients.

2/6
Doctor in North East says they are running low on oxygen cylinders and ran out of FFP3 masks (those are the good ones) on Tuesday for all wards other than intensive care units.

NHS staff on other wards are at risk and wearing flimsy surgical masks, which aren't as good.

We’ve made a video 🎬

No spin lines
No empty slogans

Just the FACTS

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

The #ToriesTrackRecord speaks for itself

Please share
#FactsNotSpin #NHScrisis

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

A thread about the #NHS

Last week I was admitted to the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford with a mystery infection. Not having been in hospital since I had my children it was an eye opener and this is why...

1/
The JR Hospital is clean, well organised and well run. Staff are very busy but have "pathways" to help them deal most effectively with the rationing of medical services to patients.

2/
I didn't get the tests I needed in the end and so my illness remains a mystery.

As I was getting better I was now on a less urgent "pathway" and so would have these as an out patient. (But of course I should come back if in the meantime I got worse again.)

More flags please, I'm weak.
@ChampagneDosser
I wish to honour all those people who helped me throughout my life.

Those #NHS staff, my doctor who visited me as a baby and young child at my home free of charge.

The social housing tha allowed my parents to raise 5 kids.

The access to education, school dinners etc
The ambulance, police and fire crews that my family and I have relied on and be protected by.

Always save in the knowledge that no matter what happens to me I can walk into a Hospital without having to worry about what money I have on me.
That sense of safety and being protected by other human beings who have made it their life to protect and serve others regardless of their own personal problems, low wages or poor working conditions.

5th July 2018 will be the 70th birthday of our beloved #NHS.

This THREAD argues that it is in severe danger under this #Toryshambles government, with #Brexit posing an imminent & particularly invidious threat.

To #SaveOurNHS we must work tirelessly together to #StopBrexit.
1/ Today's devolved #NHS is a complex federation of tens of 000s of orgs employing some 1.7m workers. It's combined annual budget is just shy of £150bn. It handles, overwhelmingly successfully, almost a million patients daily.

With each box maybe 000s of orgs, & England only:
2/ Unresolved public health issues & a fast-expanding multi-morbid elderly population, coupled with chronic underfunding & the blowback from the butchery of social care since 2010 means the #NHS is pressured as never before.

1/ @Jeremy_Hunt claims his goal is “harm-free” medicine in the #NHS. This is utter twaddle. #thread
2. Firstly it’s naive. Medicine is harmful. Do no harm does not mean do nothing. Drugs = side effects, blood tests=needles, surgery=trauma.
3/ Good medicine always ensures benefits outweighs the risks. But there will always be risks.
