Pledge number 4 from the CONservatives is to make NHS waiting lists fall and provide the care that people need.

Their "promise" in December 22 didn't even last 6 MONTHS before they reneged on it.

OK -sure, so I wonder how THAT is going to happen if the CONservatives are cutting £250 MILLION from #SocialCare funding and recruitment. #ToryFascistDictatorship caused the

BBC News - Nurses' strike: 28-hour strike over pay under way
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-65443943

Where is our PM, he seems to have gone very quiet or AWOL, he’s certainly not talking to us. So sadly I’m now ready for round three of the nurse’s strike tomorrow. If you’re free come and show your support. Beep your horn or stand with us. Hot drinks and food always welcome!

What do nurses want? Safe staffing levels. When do they want them? Now!! #Nurses #nursesstrikes #HealthcareBurnout

12 years of #ToryLies and #ToryCorruption have destroyed our #NHS.
12 years ago the NHS was classed as the best #Healthcare system in #Europe. The #Tory party have phucking destroyed it.
Couldn't staff Nightingale hospitals during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic these last years, CAN'T staff them now.
#NursesStrikes #AmbulanceStrikes

So more #NursesStrikes in January. Good. Well it’s not good , but historically this is what makes a difference. I hate the fact that people are having to strike because Tories have underfunded the NHS for over ten years. Staff morale is at an all time low. near misses happen daily. People died because there are not enough staff, we are short on staff and money there are not enough training places available. #nurses pay 40k to train - Money is going to the wrong places not to the NHS.

"Many of those taking action today are fighting not only for increased wages, but to save their industries, just as the miners did in 1984 and 1985. The constant cuts to our NHS and the privatisation by stealth of our health services represents a threat to its existence and to the nation’s health"

#Solidarity with all UK key workers on strike today.

Steve Barclay waxing lyrical and #Gaslighting our #Nurses and the #NursesStrikes affecting patient safety.

#PatientSafety is already compromised, over worked, underpaid, under valued and burned out, exhausted, #Foodbank using staff being dumped on from his taxpayer subsidised second home, subsidised #WasteMonster (#Westminster) meals, subsidised travel expenses. 🤷‍♀️
Pay you and #nurses what they’re worth, I know which one I'd pay for working.

Although the #NursesStrikes aren't happening around me, I'm very aware of the gaslighting from the #Tory party line of "patient safety".
Anyone able to join two dots together will already know that #PatientSafety is already compromised due to understaffing, over worked and burned out staff.

Support OUR nurses, and #Ambulance staff as part of OUR #NHS.

Can anyone discern a strategy from Barclay/ Govt on the nurses’ strikes?

The country LOVES nurses. Check out this BBC headline (and contrast with its rail strike coverage, where they tried to dredge up tragic stories of personal inconvenience, not all true)

So what’s the plan?

Despite their best efforts - it would appear that #NursesStrikes aren't alienating the public, but that in fact, the general public do support our #NHS staff

@Judeet88
Yes I remember those days too. Each year for decades we tried to “clear” beds for the inevitable winter pressure for beds. We also tried to help patients spend some time at home on Christmas Day with family even if only for a few hours as that seemed the right thing to do.

This Government does not appreciate all the hard work of NHS workers over the years and throughout the year. The NHS is “sitting” every day throughout the year unlike this Government .
