One of the reasons we brought these cases against the government, was to spread the truth about what really happened last year. And that’s exactly what’s happening.

We’re halfway through our High Court trial against the government. We brought these cases because of frightening stories from our members on the frontline 💙Like this, from one of our GP members...
[1] In April 2020, we did not have enough PPE in urgent care. We had no visors & only a limited number of surgical masks. At that time, it wasn’t mandatory for patients entering a hospital to wear a mask and my employer sent an email stating we *were not* allowed to give masks...
[2] to patients because then there wouldn’t be enough for clinicians. Covid was massively on the rise at that time. ⅔ of our patients were ‘suspected covid’ and all of my appointments were face to face.

Our members are at the heart of everything we do. We brought these cases against the government to seek justice for NHS workers & patients who were unprotected. So, in the midst of today’s legal proceedings, read, in her own words, the story of one of our GP members.
[1] The pandemic hit us in full force. Despite warnings from China & Italy, the government failed to prepare, resulting in a lack of Personal Protective Equipment, leaving us defenceless, vulnerable and fully exposed to the virus.
[2] As GPs and healthcare professionals, we care about people, and we often go above and beyond to help our patients, but should this be at the risk of our own lives and those of our loved ones?

In case you're wondering why #WhatsThePlanMatt? is trending, here's a recap:
⏰ At 9.30pm we started lighting up London by projecting our key messages onto significant buildings to mark our court case against the government over dodgy PPE contracts, that kicks off next week👩‍⚖️ Image
Our first stop was NHS England, Skipton House, Elephant & Castle.
Our message:
You didn’t give us safe PPE 😷
#ProtectNHSworkers 💙 Image
Location number 2: the headquarters of @PHE_uk.
In 2016, the government carried out a flu simulation called Exercise Cygnus. The resulting report (full of recommendations for improvements) was buried & ignored. Next time we must be better prepared. #WhatsThePlanMatt? Image

#NHSprivatisation has been creeping into the NHS for 40 years. Understanding the past is vital to plan for the future. Here’s a timeline of some of the key moments we’re 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 & we’re still paying them off. Buying out PFI contracts would cost £25-33bn but since repayments are set to reach £82bn - this would be a massive saving of public money...
