the days of this shitty government will seem halcyon in comparison to the days of the next shitty government
Are we really going to sit by while they destroy the NHS?

‘Middle-class lefties’ won’t stop Labour using private sector to cut NHS backlog, Streeting says
Shadow health secretary says quicker treatment to stop working class families being left behind is more important than ideologywww.theguardian.com
Fuck this guy, seriously.
A charmless zombie of Alan Milburn.
yet there is to be no increase in the number of hours mps work. i remind colleagues here of my proposal for a 7 day a week parliament. how can mps be trusted with the public sector if they will not show themselves stakhanovite? make mps work weekends to ensure they meet constituents: tho they may not always relish these encounters.

Cut MPs salaries by 66%, remove subsidies, perks and expenses, and make them work weekends and you might begin to see some empathy with conditions faced by frontline NHS staff.

Yipchaa!
Ok, so how much of that £1bn will be used to cover the costs of those extra shifts* and resources? Because then it's not really an 'extra' £1bn, is it, if the rest of the system is still getting the same as before?
Otherwise what he's really saying is "we will pay for additional services", which... sure, that's what you're supposed to fucking do if you want additional services, you pay for them. I suppose we shouldn't take that for granted, though, given how little both parties seem to care about adequately funding existing services.
*assuming they are all extra shifts, given many medics do already work weekends

And as he's on the MP's salary, that would already make him a middle class righty. And if he doesn't lose his seat in the coming election, he'll be a proper ruling class righty.

Could GPs be reluctant to refer patients to Pharmavy First because they’re resisting this privatisation by stealth? Pharmacists accuse GPs in England of scuppering Pharmacy First scheme

GPs are already private sector FFS. They weren’t ever nationalised.

could one group of private contractors be unhappy that they are being encouraged to refer patients to another private contractor ?
you do understand how the GMS and PMS conracts work don't you ? the vastest majority of staff in your GP surgery are employees or Partners/ Directors of the Surgery not directly employed by the NHS

as usual for byline the utter lack of baseline knowledge or appreciation of the issue shines through.
yes we could expand NHS owned units, but he that;s a 2 fold problem you build more General Hospital beds on existing sites they get filled with acute admissions and associated bed blockers meaning elective work isn't done
so build NHS owned / run 'cold sites' - a peculiar type of NIMBY emerges who demandsan Acute General hospital not the actually needed cold site and distracts and disrupts by spouting utter bollocks that ignore every change in emergency care since 1967 which means the decision to build the cold site is never made
privately provided cold sites are paid on a 'power by the hour ' basis ,
