The #Tories plan to wreck the #healthservcie is compounded by its attacks on the #universities, leaving the #NHS workforce strategy struggling to get going, due to both a lack of applicants, who (strangely) are put off by the Govt.'s attitude(s) to NHS #workers, alongside a lack of staff to teach them as universities themselves suffer their own problems.

Saving the NHS will require more than just saving the NHS - we need a comprehensive re-valuing of the #publicsector

I'm spotting a pattern here:

First #JeremyHunt attempt to wreck the #healthservcie while Health Sec. then on the bankbenches tries to claim to be the voice of reason (and is feted as such by the media) on #healthcare reform;

now #GeorgeOsborne (as chair of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership), ex-Chancellor & stealth cutter of funds to #localauthorities argues that the UK needs to remove the role of the #Treasury from local Govt

Damascene conversion or more #Tory hypocrisy?
take your choice!
