My Mum was in hospital for a couple of weeks, and was recently moved to rehab. It bears repeating, repeatedly, that for all their faults the NHS and all who work there, are bloody marvelous. #nurses #nhs #supportthenhs

#Barclay, the Health Minister, said on Monday that all retiring consultant doctors enjoy a tax-free pension.

This attempt to castigate their legitimate wage demands, framing them as being well off, is fallacious. All pensions are subject to taxation.

One million pounds has been spent by the government to cover the costs of the striking #JuniorDoctors who, it has been estimated, are asking for a cumulative wage rise that is equal to one million pounds.

Just listened to a radio interview. Two doctors are leaving the NHS to go to Australia. Their reason is they have had enough of under resourced hospitals and lack of staff. Thanks a lot guys - leaving will really help improve the situation. You’re leaving for πŸ’°οΈ , be honest. #SupportTheNHS #NHS #ToriesMustGo

Happy 75th Birthday to my beloved #NHS75 & the amazing #NHSheroes for the amazing work you do.
I hope we’ll still be celebrating you in another 75 years time

Having spent the last few days surround by the incredible NHS staff of my local hospital I honestly can’t imagine being without them and find it absolutely disgraceful how they have been treated and underfunded over consecutive UK governments.

A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: β€œWe hugely value the work of nurses"...
but we won't pay them what they deserve, need, and are owed after repeated negative increases because of the high inflation this government has created.

Having attended the Day Surgery Unit at Castle Hill Hospital (Cottingham) yesterday, I have only praise & admiration for all the staff there. Doctors, nurses, aneasthetists, admin - everyone was cheery, helpful & very pleasant. The operation went smoothly. I can't fault anything. I'm at home recovering (well). No GGB gigs until the middle of July.
All hospital staff should have a fair wage...They deserve every penny of it. #supportthenhs #NHS #hospital #support #fairwage
