'#NHSEngland finances so dire that whole service may collapse, says spending watchdog
#NationalAuditOffice says
years of #underfunding have left the NHS in England so cash-strapped that it cannot treat patients quickly enough, and the rising tide of ill-health will make matters worse, the #NationalAuditOffice (#NAO) said'

Our poor hospitals.
RNZ has the figures each cash-stapped DHB has been ordered to save. Here in staff-shortage Southern it's $9m pa.

The Minister knows that's not true. Just as he knows how immoral it is to peddle tobbaco to children.

We need a properly funded NHS. The Tories never will fund it properly. Will Labour? At one time I would have been certain of this. Under Starmer I am not so sure.

Look forward to hearing D Ross comments as he's so quick to condemn the #NHS in Scotland. But not so the NHS under the Tories in England.
#Underfunding #NHS #dentistry in the #UK has resulted in a huge amount of #suffering. It is a #false #economy. Treating the #consequences, not least of which is #oralcancer, is more expensive than having #dentists make sure people have #healthy #teeth, #gums & # mouths in the first place. All this pain & increased #cancer #deaths for nothing. This is the #society we now have.
