Happy 75th Birthday to my beloved #NHS75 & the amazing #NHSheroes for the amazing work you do.
I hope weβll 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 canβt imagine being without them and find it absolutely disgraceful how they have been treated and underfunded over consecutive UK governments.
