Tory Long term plan for the NHS

Here's another one - unless you opt-out by the 23rd of June, medical records in england are going to be "centralised" for "research" that I'm sure will be nothing to do with privatisation. We apparently have until the 23rd of June to submit forms (linked to in the article) to opt out of this happening.



There's this page which seems to be the start of opting out electronically, but they're saying there's been misleading information on social media

 


Very good explainer from @drbobgill on how the NHS is being turned into a cash cow for private corporations and government cronies by the Health & Care Bill passed today [14th July].

Sicko UK

The bill will create new legal entities, public-private partnerships known as Integrated Care Systems (ICS). The 42 ICS NHS bodies across England will control fixed tax-funded budgets for 1-to-2 million people from which they will be able to make profit. ICS boards will be dominated by the same private corporations currently providing outsourced services and performing commissioning function.
...

Repeal of section 75 of the 2012 Health and Social Care Act will end open competitive tendering, removing the legal obstacle for a private sector monopoly within the NHS.

...

Legal safeguards to ensure patients are discharged home safely will be removed and replaced by a “discharge to assess” scheme enabling patient dumping notorious in America. Deregulating health professionals and introducing a new secretive patient safety body will assist the decline of clinical standards while concealing predictable consequences.

Patients in their most vulnerable state will struggle to access overstretched NHS hospitals or primary care services, staffed by fewer and less qualified health personnel, providing lower qualify services as funding is siphoned away from healthcare delivery.

"3% does NOTHING to address chronic unsafe understaffing issues within the NHS that ultimately has a direct impact on PATIENT SAFETY. This is actually 0.6% in real terms after inflation after we’ve already seen 20% CUT to our pay over 10 years. We can not accept this"

First public sector workers' pay needs to be reset to what it was in real terms in 2008, and then we can discuss your actual rises.
