'Ghisaline was very disappointed that you didn't tell her you were coming into town!'
Anything to say @reformparty_uk ?
Email to Nick Candy:
'congrats on that! I was on Jeffrey's Island in the US Virgin Islands, I had a very relaxing time, loads of very much needed sleep, and of course, I always behave myself! Careful with the part scene, it will suck you in and take over!'
From Nick Candy:
'Do you have Ghilasine's email address?'
Now why would he want that?
And here is his company email to show it is him ๐
Here are my concerns about Victoria Atkins and Wes Streetings blanket ban on puberty blockers and the political discourse surrounding it.
Please actually read it before responding. ๐งต
The idea that a political notion should override clinical decision making concerns me.
Prescribing is highly regulated, and there are ways in place to monitor current prescribing. All prescribing decisions are important and require scrutiny, and clinicians are highly trained.
Many areas provoke strong political feeling, such as abortion, or safe drug prescribing (shooting galleries etc) - however, these political discussions can never override the individual's right to the healthcare they need, when they need it.
@IoWBobSeely 1) those figures are for health social care, not just the NHS.
2) those figures include PPE fraud and dodgy Tory VIP lanes
3) those figures include the money draining out to private agencies to plug staffing shortages.
4) that includes the money skimmed of to private CEOs
@IoWBobSeely 5) it includes A global pandemic
6) the article said we have not lost EU staff, yet we know 9000 international nurses are leaving per year
7) the NHS budget goes up every year. That's how it works. When you account for increase in demand etc you see the funding shortfall
@IoWBobSeely 8) correlation is not causation. That money has not necessarily been saved by Brexit. Look at the state of borrowing in the country under your govt.
The problem with current labour plans and the NHS. Please read.
Labour say they will use the private sector to reduce NHS waiting times (which sounds very sensible) - unless you know what is actually going on.
There is NO spare capacity in the private sector.
In 2021 NHS doctors about 140,000, private FTE about 700.
There are not empty hospitals full of nurses waiting to do operations.
There is one pool of nurses, doctors and AHPs. They either work for the NHS or the private sector.
Sending more work to the private sector means they draw more staff away from the NHS. This means NHS waiting lists go up further, more private is used, and on we go.
A review of current Labour policy, ideology and intent.
#SOSNHS
Intention.
Now @wesstreeting has made it clear the current Labour leadership see the role of private healthcare increasing in the NHS.
They say innovation will help the NHS, and it's okay as it will remain free for patients. Let's check this out...thenational.scot/news/23932636.โฆ
Firstly, the evidence shows that increasing private sector involvement in the NHS is linked to worse outcomes.
.
Also, if money is leaving the NHS to go into private pockets, the service has less money to reinvest. This pushes the NHS closer to collapse.ox.ac.uk/news/2024-02-2โฆ
