2 quotes. Please share them. From the NHS England website after the last resident doctor strike: āThe NHS managed to āsafely keep the show on the roadā despite industrial action last week, with data showing more than 95% of planned elective activity going ahead for patients.ā

Imagine if 2000 children had gone missing from boarding schools. How much outrage there would be. Imagine how quickly there would be demands for inquiries and actions. Instead because these are unaccompanied asylum seeking children they will either be ignored or blamed for being trafficked.

It should appall absolutely everyone that millions of patients are unable to access timely healthcare in the NHS right now. Itās a national scandal and itās been caused by direct decisions made by politicians.

Such a pity that frontline NHS staff arenāt given the space in newspapers to air their thoughts, as Streeting is. The NHS is currently missing around 100,000 staff. Itās no surprise when theyāre bashed continually for fighting for fair working conditionsšØ

This article completely misses out that thereās a Ā£1 billion redundancy bill associated with making the changes Wes Streeting wants, and no one wants to pay it, so thousands of staff have been left in limbo. Thereās nothing āefficientā about that šØ

Thames Water paid £20m to cover the due diligence costs of KKR for abortive attempt to buy TW. Rich pickings for advisers. Customers pick up the tab for management follies. Details never provided. TW has £20bn debt, survives by dumping sewage in rivers, fleecing captive customers.
