The pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, that makes Wegovy slimming jabs, is funding the expansion of #NHS weight-loss services across #England as it seeks to boost sales of its obesity drugs.

It pays staff salaries on NHS obesity teams & financed the launch & redesign of services, including giving £206,000 to a health partnership to transform its treatment of obesity.

More backdoor privatisation of the NHS.

"The fact that public satisfaction with the #NHS is at its lowest in 40 years should not be seen as a judgement of the efforts of frontline staff to recover services in the wake of the pandemic but rather, a sign that the NHS is not being given what it needs"
Matthew Taylor, CEO NHS Confederation

So, Chomsky's standard technique of privatisation is working: defund, make sure things don’t work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital.

MP Steve Brine said in a text that he had been 'trying for months' to get the health service to hire anaesthetists through the company Remedium, for whom Mr Brine does work.

"Every child in the UK is entitled to free treatment by a nonexistent dentist. Some people on benefits, pregnant women and those who have recently given birth also have free and full access to an imaginary service. Your rights are guaranteed, up to the point at which you seek to exercise them"

George Monbiot on the collapse in UK public dentistry, deliberately fostered by government neglect.

Some of the #UK’s most senior NHS clinicians are earning a lucrative sideline running private firms that offer to cut waiting lists at their own hospitals.

Top consultants are among directors of “insourcing” agencies that charge the #NHS to treat patients at weekends and evenings and have won millions of pounds of work.

Current NHS regulations allow and even encourage this blatant profiteering from the crisis in #healthcare. They need to be changed.

NHS slippery slope gets slipprier. The NHS has lost 50% of its beds since 2010, some private sector beds have just increased their charge for taking NHS patients by 200%. Please wake up people before the NHS becomes a hollowed out shell under the Tories #NHSPrivatisation

The Tories are trying to say they are incapable of tackling multiple issues at one.
Well, they lie. They can try and turn us against those people that died saving lives from covid, or they can pay them properly, and #ReviveTheNHS and end #NHSPrivatisation
