Record level 7 million patients on waiting lists

Doctors and nurses taking industrial action

Excess deaths at their highest levels since 1951

3/5
The crisis is partly because private involvement has hollowed out the NHS

Outsourcing delivers worse outcomes for more money, costing the NHS

Outsourcing reduces NHS capacity

Plus outsourcing, competition by private companies draws staff away from NHS

Outsourcing means NHS is less able to respond to short-term pressures

There’s more #NHSprivatisation to come

This will entrench the two-tier system as private providers fill in for the NHS

This bring us closer to an American-style system - US companies already operating in UK

This is due to ideological government policy

We want our NHS reinstated as a public service ‘cos @We_OwnIt
