It appears @SteveBarclay and @NHSEngland want to give the impression that seen non-GPs is the same as seeing a doctor.
Their down-skilling & task-shifting agenda is diluting medical quality and putting patients at risk
From the source NHS Digital Feb 2022 to Feb 2022
Total appointments +1,930,402
➡️GP appt +260,772
➡️"other practice staff" & non-GP appt +1,731,969
➡️NB 735,103 appts recorded Feb 2023 data as "unknown" (Feb 22: 797,442)
NHS being deliberately denuded of doctors!

🚨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

BMA supports destruction of #NHS but present as victims or frustrated saviours.
Sophistry masterclass by @TheBMA on 17th July deconstructed
⚠️Hop on bandwagon to avoid conspicuous silence & echo bogus talking points (ditto @UKLabour & @keepnhspublic}
bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…
⚠️BMA endorsed Feb 2021 white paper, remained silent until now.
⚠️Have track record of imposing ignorance & disengaging members.
⚠️Assisted creating US style 'managed care' by railroading GPs into new contract 2019 WITHOUT discussion/VOTE.
#NHSBill progression of agreed change
⚠️Clinical 'leadership' has had no impact on halting or moderating NHS privatisation. Predominantly serving as window dressing for the destruction
⚠️It has enriched & assisted career progression of the complicit.

Government Health Bill set to create #IntegratedCareSystems based on US-style 'managed care' handing control of #NHS budgets to private health insurance giant #UnitedHealth's UK subsidiary #Optum
Culmination of decades of covert re-purposing, reducing #NHS to a logo & budget
Secretive £multi-billion contracts awarded to profit hungry PRIVATE corporations just like we saw with #Serco #Deloitte 'NHS' Test & trace.
Profit to be made through DENIAL OF CARE as revealed in 'Sicko' film
HMO=ACO=ICS='managed care'
Despite knowing about government plans for months/years, @keepnhspublic fails to mention imminent DEADLY threat in its leaflets for July 2021 demo.

Dangerous editorial by @jkaffash demonstrates selective blindness & historical amnesia.
Here's why. 1/13
pulsetoday.co.uk/views/editors-…
Underplaying significance of American corporate raiders following recent annoucement of Centene's UK subsidiary takeover of GP practices ignores dominance of various US players now metastasised throughout NHS not least in @NHSEngland board 2/13
lowdownnhs.info/news/us-takeov…
most notably #Mckinsey #UnitedHealth.
Business model of American privatised healthcare is built on fraud and denial of care. 3/13
