Does the UK spend too much on healthcare?

Junior Doctors announce strike action protesting Government imposition of new contract
The Government's attempt to impose seven-day working without the resources to fund it. Current resources are insufficient to adequately fund the so-called five-day NHS. The mantra that the NHS must do more with less has become “the NHS must do much, much more with less”. |

NHAP: Over 28000 junior doctors cast their vote in the BMA's ballot about whether proposed industrial action over the proposed new proposed contract. The result was unprecedented and could not be clearer: 98% backed strike action, 99% backed some kind of industrial action in opposition to this contract. Junior doctors have been left with no choice but to take industrial action. The Government has not compromised on its crystal clear agenda to force junior doctors into working more hours for less pay, so that it can drive through its nonsensical "enhanced seven-day services" manifesto pledge in the face of a £22bn NHS efficiency savings program.

We junior doctors must strike—but for the right reasons
Open Democracy: Our NHS article Neil Singh 6 October 2015 Our strike must make demands for broader systemic change in our health service—meaning better working conditions for all health workers, better care for our patients, and a rejection of privatisation—and couple itself to ongoing and future actions by other health workers. |

The NHS is headed for a devolution iceberg - whilst MPs argue about deckchairs Greg Dropkin 22 December 2015

Support NHS nurse training - save nursing bursaries (Unite campaign).
The Tories plan to cut student nurses bursaries and replace them with loans. After August 2017 nursing courses will be fee paying, leaving students with more than £50,000 of debt if they undertake a three year degree. Saddling students with a lifetime of debt – which most of them will never be able to pay off – will massively deter those wanting to enter nursing and the other health professions covered by the bursary. It will affect people studying a range of professions including nursing, speech and language therapy, radiology, occupational therapy, mental health nursing and midwifery. |

Click for EU Citizen's campaign against TTIP
If TTIP passes, companies could sue our government if it passed laws to renationalise our NHS, or protect our health. This has already happened in other countries with similar deals. Slovakia was sued for trying to nationalise part of its healthcare service. And Australia is being sued for trying to introduce plain cigarette packets. TTIP isn't a hypothetical threat. It could destroy everything we've fought for. And it gets worse. If companies wanted to sue our government, they can do so in a secret court. There will be no public outcry about what they're trying to do because in most cases, we won't know it has happened until it's too late. This deal is so secretive, and the consequences so potentially far-reaching, that the Guardian labelled it 'a gunpowder plot against democracy'. If we don't get this deal debated in the open, we may never know the full scale of the havoc it could wreck. And we have to act now. Another round of negotiations is scheduled to happen next month. We have to make sure we can get a debate before much more progress is made. We're just 150,000 signatures short. Please sign the petition today and let's get TTIP out in the open. http://action.peoplesnhs.org/eu-ttip-debate |

At what cost? Paying the price for the market in the English NHS. Feb 2015
The recurrent, annual costs of the market can be estimated (conservatively) at £4.5 billion. It is possible to have patient choice and high-quality health-care without the market. This Feb 2015 report by Calum Paton, Professor of Public Policy at Keele University explains how. |

Hinchingbrooke Hospital: collapse of UK's first privatised NHS hospital deal. Jan 2015
In January 2015, Circle announced that it is pulling out of its flagship contract to manage this former NHS hospital. The contract for a private healthcare provider to take over an NHS hospital was the first of its kind. Circle blames a £5 million loss- despite sacking many nursing staff to reduce staffing costs - and an NHS crisis. However Circle were also facing a highly critical CQC report on standards of care, patient safety and inadequate medical care. Read Caroline Molloy's excellent article about the collapse here. This venture was termed a “mutual”, because the original “Partnership” structure gave consultants and GPs just under 50% of the “Partnership”. Recent restructuring of the company (“Project Reset”) mean that now “staff” only own 25%. Ultimate control, however, always resided with an offshore Holding Company majority owned by private equity firms. See article below on NHS mutualisation for more information.

Pathfinder Trusts: NHS Mutualisation: privatisation with a cosy name.
"The biggest denationalisation of health services ever announced by a health minister" Richard Blogger 17 December 2014 More hospitals - potentially all of them - will be run outside the NHS as so-called "mutuals", the government announced in the week before christmas. The recently announced list of ‘pathfinder trusts’ to explore mutual status, includes seven FTs. Hinchingbrook Hospital - see above - was run as a 'mutual'. Read Richard Blogger's account to see what that meant - and Caroline Molloy's article above to see the disastrous results for the NHS, patients and staff. |

Hackney is set to run a London NHS Devolution pilot scheme
NHS campaigners are concerned that devo NHS will hasten privatisation. Devo will make it much easier for the government to cut funding for the NHS by making local councils rather than central government take responsibility for hospital and service closures. Despite ending the sharp 'purchaser' - 'provider' split, it will not end the market in NHS services. On the contrary, the NHS Regulator, Monitor, will demand that more and more services are tendered. And devo will carve the NHS (and social care services) up into local chunks that will be particularly attractive to giant US healthcare corporations. more information here: |

NHS cuts - are we in it together?
Open Democracy article CAROLINE MOLLOY 23 March 2016 Downing Street was accused by another former minister of “massaging” NHS cuts figures this week – just as locally NHS bosses propose more sweeping cuts that are beginning to look like the worst ‘reorganisation’ yet. ...... Cash-strapped local health bosses there have suggested that they may in future no longer fund a wide list of procedures on the NHS for many patients, including hearing aids, cataract ops, vasectomies, and hip and knee operations. |

Day of action: Barts & The London PFI deal.
2.15pm Saturday 25th April 2015 Barts Health’s future is in the balance and this is our last chance to make a noise before the election. The Department of Health has 118 PFI schemes with a capital value of £11.6bn. Over time, the sum total of repayments will be £79.1bn. According to one calculation, two hospitals could have been built for the cost of just one, had public sources of finance been used. Barts and the London have a PFI valued at £1.1bn with repayments totalling £7.1bn. Come down to the Royal London Hospital on Whitechapel Rd for 2.15pm on Saturday 25th to welcome the open-top bus carrying the anti-PFI message. The bus is starting from Whipps Cross Hospital, going via Newham and then into Tower Hamlets to the Royal London Hospital (one of the main hospitals used by Hackney residents).

Hinchingbrooke Hospital: letter to the Guardian from KONP's Marion Macalpine:
Dear Editor Tom Levitt blames the NHS for Circle abandoning its Hinchingbrooke Hospital contract (Guardian Public Manager 21.1.15). He spectacularly fails to mention that hours before Circle quit, the Care Quality Commission issued a devastating report giving Hinchingbrooke their worst rating, especially in ‘safety’, ‘caring’ and ‘leadership’. The report details infected catheters, unwashed hands, missing care plans, and vital medication rounds missed (http://www.cqc.org.uk/location/RQQ31/inspection-summary). Staff morale was amongst the lowest in the country (Lesson one from the Hinchingbrooke hospital scandal: beware the ‘mutual David Owen, Guardian,19.1.15) Moreover, Circle claimed to be a partnership with staff (http://www.circlepartnership.co.uk/about-circle). But Circle Partnership is controlled by Jersey-based Circle Holdings, itself owned by six venture capital and hedge funds, whose founders have donated very large sums to the Conservatives. Levitt is merely continuing the spin that falsely promoted Circle as a mutual that was the saviour of Hinchingbrooke. In so doing he is building his post parliamentary career (he stood down in the expenses scandal) as a consultant promoting ‘responsible capitalism’. Marion Macalpine and Diane Langford |

Launch of the People vs PFI campaign with conference on the 1st November 2014
The Private Finance Initiative (PFI) was cooked up by the government, banks and corporate accounting firms as way of making a profit by providing public services. It's all about making massive private sector profits from the money WE pay for public sector services. And now PFI debts are killing off our public services. People at the launch will learn the big picture of PFI, practical skills to challenge PFI locally and help plan the beginnings of a nationwide campaign to END PFI NOW.

30 May 2014 Today's Headlines
THROUGH THE SMOKE Saving local hospitals? Is Simon Stephens, new head of NHS England, a friend? Have NHS chiefs and government gone soft on NHS shakeup? Sadly, no! : the new push for small local hospitals is just the latest phase of privatisation. It's a way to rapidly introduce hundreds of small private hospitals into the 'NHS family' while greatly reducing local opposition to NHS cuts. Private hospitals get paid a standard NHS tarif - but cherry-pick their patients, leaving the NHS to manage complex cases. Refuse private! |
