#NHSprivatisation has been creeping into the NHS for 40 years. Understanding the past is vital to plan for the future. Hereβs a timeline of some of the key moments weβre sharing with MPs today
1980s: The internal market. Meant to create competition & increase efficiency, instead it caused admin costs to soar. From 5% in the mid-70s to 14% by 2003, according to a study by York University.
1992: Private Finance Initiatives. Used to build new hospitals, PFIs plunged the NHS into a sea of debt & weβre still paying them off. Buying out PFI contracts would cost Β£25-33bn but since repayments are set to reach Β£82bn - this would be a massive saving of public money...
86 MPs & staff have registered for our #NHSprivatisation briefing and there's still a few days to go - could we smash 100 & make this our biggest briefing yet!?!? If yours hasn't signed up already invite them now π & please RT to share as far as possible actionnetwork.org/letters/write-β¦
And we can't wait to welcome...

So with all of our new followers, it seems sensible to tell you a little bit about who we are and what we do! EveryDoctor is a membership collective of doctors and medical students which is supportive of doctors and who believe in the NHS and what it does for all of us.
We have just over 1650 members, and we also run The Political Mess on Facebook, the largest private doctors' group of its kind, so that we can draw from as wide a pool as possible, with some small caveats.
We're an explicitly inclusive organisation, with a firm anti-racist, anti-bigotry platform which we seek to protect. We want to be a place where groups who're more vulnerable or marginalised for a range of reasons are able to speak up, so we hear their voices too.
