@RichardJMurphy there's nothing surprising about this. #Streeting is deep in the pockets of private medical corporations. His objective is to render the #NHS unworkable, so that those who can afford to flee to the private sector, and the remaining service can be allowed to deteriorate to the point that it no longer has supporters and can be axed.
After all, no one whose interests #Labour serves uses the NHS anyway – it is, as Thatcher said of public transport, just for losers.
@wood5y #nhs #AI #nhsIT Wes Streeting could be to some extent correct. I don’t know about hospitals but amongst those I know are some who go to the GP surgery at the drop of a hat. These are people with no impairment. Just worried well or hypochondriacs. As for IT and AI they should be very useful. BUT Unfortunately those who run NHS IT seem to make a pigs ear of it. My surgery keep making changes, all of which are visually awful, complex & often don’t work at all well.
"Health secretary Wes Streeting said trials of the scheme showed “encouraging signs” in slashing the number of heavy NHS users which he called “frequent flyers” of A&E departments."
Once again this apology for a government shows its contempt for those it was elected to serve.

Yet more evidence (which I'm sure you don't really need) on the NHS crisis, this time the delay in transfers from ambulance to A&E is leading to 'car park care' & in extreme cases patients dying yards outside A&E while waiting to be admitted.
This crisis was engineered by the Tories, but now Labour needs to act urgently... yes, they 'inherited a broken NHS', but can an enhanced GP service quickly reduce this problem?

Went to our local GP surgery for #CovidBooster today. A very impressive and efficient service.
The #NHS is still doing a great job.
#Energy bills, #water bills, #NHS dental costs, council tax… The amount of bills increasing seems like an April Fool's joke: but it’s not. 
The Government must start doing more to help. Sign the #petition now! https://38d.gs/2n6p @38degrees 
“Wes #Streeting took £53,000 from a private healthcare recruiter – and then announced 9,000 #NHS redundancies”
by James Wright in The Canary @thecanaryuk @UKLabour
“Lobbyists and firms with private healthcare connections have brought in over half a million pounds to Labour’s cabinet since 2023. And that’s on top of a £4m donation to the party from #Quadrature Capital, which has #investments in #private #healthcare”
#UKPol #Economics #Logic #LINO . You cannot prove a negative. i.) 'no action' is not = higher waiting lists? ii.) Is that money 'ringfenced' ?? That lie, #BREXIT = £300 zillion squid for the #NHS The #NHS must be staffed / resourced to the gills by now. Only it isn't. #SOSNHS .
#RachelReeves has defended the £40bn in tax increases in autumn’s budget as businesses brace for their impact, saying #NHS waiting lists would now be higher if she had not taken action.
