The NHS is undervalued and successive governments have neglected it.

My GP describes it as bleak, delays in ambulances and emergency care are killing people. It is understaffed and losing staff.

You know Brexit was sold to people because of a £350 million promise on the side of a bus. That's the level of debate here.

The NHS is on its way out.

Certainly adding to the NHS pressures

Ambulance delays have spiked since January 2021

Because they can't hand over patients

Because hospitals are full

Because they can't discharge patients

Because there is a shortage of social care

Because of Brexit

“The NHS is under extreme pressure in the middle of summer. It's not really being talked about. Certainly politicians seem to be ignoring it and hoping it goes away. Here's a thread on just what's happening. Please share far and wide. This affects all of us. 1/15”
