The NHS is facing its worst financial decline in a decade. With almost every trust in deficit, this isn't "poor management", it’s systemic underfunding & deliberate shrinkage.

We are coming in and expected to look after 10 or 12 patients. It is supposed to be one to four

They thought we’d stop after one letter. They were wrong. 📢
Corridor care strips patients of their dignity. We’re demanding a real plan from the Health Minister and need you to send our letter AGAIN to ramp up the pressure.

An excellent letter from @tomdolphin.bsky.social at BMA about why the NHS should stop end contracts with Palantir

My mother has been waiting for an urgent hematology appt for 8 months. She got a few SMS asking if she was still interested. We know that failing to reply would mean being taken off the list. We replied every time but nothing happened. Still waiting...
I wonder how many folk have been tricked out of NHS treatment that they were on a waiting list for, not cos their needs had changed, but cos Wes made it more attractive for hospitals to game the system so that he could have some cool figs to boost his leadership bid
www.thetimes.com/article/d318...
So very many of these stories
All for Wes’s Waiting List Wangle
So the bottom line:
NHS waiting lists fell sharply in 20 trusts, all in poor areas
Streeting made this big part of his leadership pitch.
Now HF analysis shows Wes’s pilots didnt do more ops, but did fewer referrals & more removals from list for unexplained reasons
Many have told me of dirty tricks 👇

Do you trust Palantir with the NHS?
#AgeConcern warned that #CorridorCare had increased by 525-fold since 2015/16. That follows 5k #NHS #nurses coming forward in Jan 2025 to expose the dire state of the corridor care crises

The sickest patients in A&Es across the country are facing the longest waits. This must change.
RCEM Vice President Dr James Gagg told BBC Sussex this morning why Emergency Departments are in a year-round crisis, and how it can be fixed.
"Black and white blurry image of a hospital bed in corridor with bold text: "Corridor care is a national shame. Dr Ian Higginson President of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine" followed by "Patients deserve dignity. Staff deserve safety." urging to "Sign EveryDoctor’s open letter."
🚨 We’re nearly at 8,000 letters sent to Wes Streeting calling for an end to corridor care!
That’s thousands demanding better for staff + patients.
Who’s going to help us hit the first 8,000? Add your voice today 💙

Woman holding sign saying "care based on need, not ability to pay"
Reasons to save the NHS
Reason 1
A tax-funded service free at the point of use ensures people get treatment when they need it, rather than delaying until conditions become emergencies.
BREAKING: More than 100,000 people over the age of 65 sat for between one and three days in A&E corridors and waiting rooms before being moved to a hospital bed last year.
On #BBCBreakfast Health Editor Hugh Pym looks at the research from Age UK
Red graphic featuring the EveryDoctor logo and a large quote reading "Horrendous - corridors full daily, ED (A&E) so overcrowded it's difficult to find space to see anyone. There's no dignity, quality of care is suffering. Resus is often over full. Front door teams are burning out." -consultant - london. A banner at the bottom states "NHS Staff Your Voice Matters"
🚨 First testimony released 🚨
This is what NHS staff are telling us about their experiences... It's unacceptable.
NHS staff: your voice matters.

Behind hospital doors, NHS staff are being forced to provide care in conditions they know are unsafe. 🏥⚠️
They are coming forward with accounts of harmful care in spaces never designed for patients.
Their testimony will be released very soon.
They deserve to be heard, and patients deserve better. 📢
Corridor care is not a “winter pressure.”
Patients are being treated in hospital corridors every month of the year.
This is a permanent crisis, not a seasonal one.
Corridor care can end if it’s treated as a national emergency.
📮 Send our letter to Wes Streeting to demand an end corridor care.
Ministers will also strengthen rules on mobile phone use in schools to make it clear that all schools need to be phone-free environments for pupils, who should not have access to their devices at any point during school hours. Ofsted will examine both schools' mobile phone policies and how effectively they are implemented when judging behaviour during inspections. While almost all schools have policies on mobile phones, nearly 60 per cent of secondary school pupils report that mobile phones are being used without permission.
I mean fine, but don’t schools also get kids using their phones, or at the least, have them looking at screen projections all day, not to mention the mental health apps being pushed by nhs/government policy at kids as young as 5, I feel there are mixed messages until this also addressed.
The Royal London Hospital is planning to CLOSE it's Sickle Cell Day Unit after a six-month trial. Sign the petition to keep this vital service running. This illness has always been poorly managed by the NHS - it should be opening new services, not closing existing ones.

We need a government that fully acknowledge how tightly health is linked to social factors, poverty, work, housing, cuts to local services, pollution, and inequality.
If we don’t tackle the causes, preventable illness keeps rising.
