1/2 of Britons avoid calling GP when ill
48% across #UK didn't ask their GP for help when got sick over past year, a survey found
Just over 1/4 (27%) managed ailment themselves or waited for it to go away, despite #doctors fearing avoiding #GP care could seriously damage person’s health
- Findings underline deep public concern about ability to access to vital #NHS services such as A&E, #GPs, #hospital treatment or #ambulance
This makes me SO FUCKING ANGRY, I highly recommend not watching it early in the morning. I’t not a great start to the day. But do watch it. The #NHS is being bled dry by decisions that were made 30 years ago, and that there’s no mechanism to change it. All the present discussion by Farrage and Starmer is just a distraction.
If anyone has any suggestions about what to do other than write to your MP, I’m all ears

Absolutely spot on. What is the point of a National Health Service, if it's just buying the service from for-profit companies?
What a grotesque way to funnel tax dollars to private businesses. This is the wrong direction to save the #NHS
Scrap #NHS #hospital parking charges NOW!
When we go to hospital, it’s rarely for something easy. But patients and their families are being immediately met with #fees just to #park their cars. And these charges are going up!
The Government says it wants to help the British people through tough times. Well, ministers have a chance to show they mean it - by scrapping these charges now.

Physician/anaesthesia assistants are employed more & more, many working beyond their scope. #Patients have #died due to #PAs working above their #competencies
Trusts still advertising for PAs/AAs when role requires a doctor, many of whom face #unemployment

This should NOT be future of #OurNHS!
These professionals are being employed more and more, many working beyond their scope, eg. in GP, seeing undifferentiated patients (against the Leng recommendations). Patients have died due to PAs working above their competencies. Trusts are still advertising for PAs/AAs when the role should be taken by a doctor, many of whom face unemployment.
