That's some seriously messed up politics, if a Labour minister benefits from a strike.

But you may be right. If Streeting's overall objective is privatisation (as I fear), then strikes may help him justify that.

No, just no!

Cutting management is one thing, but no cuts to frontline staff or services. If it's over budget, then and bring in more revenue.

Why Is Cancer Drug Revlimid So Expensive?

When I was diagnosed with #cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of #Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone.

I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked even me.

Ugg!

How can we get thru to that there is a super-easy solution that everyone is expecting? Increase taxes on the wealthy to fund a major investment in NHS staff and facilities.

"The NHS forked out £800 a night, for 6 weeks, so a mental health patient could have a bed at the Priory.

During that time, she didn't receive a single therapy session.

Key lessons of Covid are being forgotten UK scientists warn

The government promised to learn from the #pandemic but appears to be suffering from #Covid amnesia, forgetting devastating cost of an underfunded #health service & public services cut to the bone

There's no evidence the health service would be any better prepared today should another #lethal #virus appear in the near future, scientists said.

I was going to provide links to relevant research, but I think this cartoon says it all.

Hat tip to Eddie Cooper at bluesky.social

Cartoon is headed 'A brief summary of healthcare in America.'

A female (nurse?) says "I think the patient in room c is dying" a male colleague says "Does he have insurance?" Female responds "No" Male says "Yep, he's dying".

The Green Party believes healthcare should be based on need, not wealth. We need to fix our NHS, not force people into private care.

A dimly lit hospital ward with empty beds in the background. A black text box in the center contains a quote from Mal O’Hara, Party Leader of the Green Party Northern Ireland. The quote criticizes the development of a two-tier healthcare system in Northern Ireland and the long waiting lists, blaming those in power for twenty-seven years for failing to invest in healthcare reform. Certain words, such as "two tier system," "languishing on waiting lists," "twenty-seven years," and "failed," are highlighted in green.

Streeting appoints health privatiser to oversee NHS slash-and-burn plan

Wes #Streeting, Health Secretary said he’ll let the NHS #die if the UK people don’t accept his ‘reforms’, has appointed a closure advocate who used to work for McKinsey – one of the key firms behind the #Tories’ assault on the #NHS – to formalise the implementation of a ‘ten-year plan’ of #cuts, #closures & #privatisation.

Emergency care petition

Dear Health Secretary Wes Streeting,

Patients are DYING in corridors. This is a national emergency.

We urge you to reopen the 100+ urgent and emergency care services (including 24 A&Es) that have been closed by the Conservatives since 2010.

Labour’s vision for the NHS is getting grim

As #Labour tries to please both #private and public interests, its policies for the #NHS are in danger of costing a lot and achieving little

Labour’s seeming preoccupation with ensuring the private sector benefits in some way from any investment in the NHS, is incongruent with both the #healthcare crisis and any sense of #economic prudence.

🚨* A warning to the #UK of what's to come if #Farage & the #Tories get their way with our #NHS...

Also a warning to prospective private healthcare CEO's who feel nothing about wielding their power to end people's lives. Public healthcare is a right, not a privilege. 🤷🏾‍♂️
