…is crippling GP services because they refuse to exempt them from employer costs loaded on by the autumn budget. They are ignoring urgent calls for support from emergency medicine doctors.

We need to demand better. Waiting is not going to help. 🚨

This is bonkers. My practice is short-staffed to the extent that pre-booked GP appts are 6 weeks away!
How is it possible that trained GPs are struggling to find work?

I'd like to address the issue of violence toward health and social care staff. A huge problem in both the NHS & the private sector

Around 75,000 NHS workers experience violence or aggression every year

The average number of patients to GP is 2300, a safe limit is considered 1800
There are some areas this is so much worse & disproportionately affects areas of deprivation
Closures of practices mean other GPs struggle as it’s virtually impossible to close a list
We need a safe limits for all

Private equity is a horror story for the NHS – one fifth of budget goes to it.

Privatised services treat 10% of patients, 3% in 2011.

59,000 private contracts in the NHS.

30%-40% of money vanishes in profits, longer queues persist.

End privatisation.

Meet Elon's new best bud.

Tommeh & mates set up string of firms which declared £1m in profit before abruptly winding up. Hope & Pride Ltd (whose director is his ex) apparently borrowed £400k then declared insolvency.

It's almost like there is a pattern. ~AA
