🚨BMA BULLSH*T ALERT🚨
#NHS on brinking on US corporate capture in no small part due to complicity of @TheBMA
To avoid being too conspicuous & despite signing up to white paper in Feb 2021 here we have latest display of cynical, deceptive posturing.

@TheBMA has delivered all government has asked of them in betraying profession & patients from capitulation over HSCA 2012, sabotage of junior doctors' strike 2016 to railroading GPs into #PCN contracts in 2019. Their statement needs exposing for its deadly consistency.

Instead of calling for a scrapping of the wasteful marketisation the BMA endorse the catastrophic status quo with over £10 BILLION p.a squandered on market bureaucracy and NOT on service provision

Commissioning in marketised NHS which has been controlled by private sector since mid-2000s (Framework for External Support for Commission) operating behind BMA endorsed 'GP-led' PCT/CCGs transitional orgs to assist corporate raid. Private sector embedded in @NHSEngland

Health & care bill 2021 breaks up NHS into 42 ICSs abandoning national bargaining. BMA assisted assault on pay & pensions with contract changes they promoted. This statement is duplicitous

Strong, independent clinical leadership does not exist in BMA. Here they accept creation of US-style 'managed care' ICSs but argue for medical snouts in the trough.
Origins of managed care:

The next level of fake naivety.
SoS needs to micromanage final phase of #NHS privatisation to minimise electoral fall out & accelerate corporate capture.

BMA oblivious to how UK corruption works.🤔
Revolving door appointments, buying MPs for access, crony contracts, peerages and donations to @Conservatives
@UHC had their man #SiminStevens in charged since 2014🤦🏽
