Wes Streeting's time is up

TBH, if the NHS would just send me an email, rather than a letter by second class post, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

(but Wes Streeting is onanist closet tory nonetheless)
For you, maybe. However if that became default my old Mum would never know about another appointment.

When we said during the election campaign, that the NHS was going through the biggest crisis in its history, we meant it.

When we said that patients are being failed on a daily basis, it wasn’t political rhetoric, but the daily reality faced by millions.

Previous governments have not been willing to admit these simple facts. But in order to cure an illness, you must first diagnose it.

This government will be honest about the challenges facing our country, and serious about tackling them.

From today, the policy of this department is that the NHS is broken.

That is the experience of patients who are not receiving the care they deserve, and of the staff working in the NHS who can see that – despite giving their best – this is not good enough.

When I was diagnosed with kidney cancer, the NHS saved my life.

Today, I can begin to repay that debt, by saving our NHS.

I have just spoken over the phone with the BMA junior doctors committee, and I can announce that talks to end their industrial action will begin next week.

We promised during the campaign that we would begin negotiations as a matter of urgency, and that is what we are doing.

This government has received a mandate from millions of voters for change and reform of the NHS, so it can be there for us when we need it once again.

It will take time - we never pretended that the NHS could be fixed overnight.

And it will take a team effort. It will be the mission of my department, every member of this government, and the 1.4 million people who work in the NHS, to turn our health service around.

We have done this before. When we were last in office, we worked hand in hand with NHS staff to deliver the shortest waits and highest patient satisfaction in history. We did it before, and together, we will do it again.

That work starts today.

I do not trust this man.

He’s the worst president America ever had.
 
"... we need more money for X, Y and Z ..."

nicely abstract there, he doesn't seem to want to mention that X could be preventing cancer deaths, Y correcting gross underfunding in mental health care and Z paying nurses a living fucking wage.
 
It is a great shame that this complete arsehole hung onto his seat by just 528 votes:



Further privatisation of the NHS ahoy. :mad:


I agree it's annoying, but had he lost some other prick would have been brought in to carry on the same agenda.

More worrying is that he's being advised by grifting former Trot turned zealous heath privatiser Alan Milburn
