Dear @wesstreeting, You said that part of the reason you couldn’t vote for the AD bill was the lack of adequate palliative care in the UK. You are the health secretary. Will you now pledge publicly & immediately to fix that? Or are dying people not enough of a priority?

https://t.co/5xISFeAlGz "Case for Change" is full of unevidenced claims and misinformation. This wretched "piece of work" MUST be withdrawn! Have a look at the "maternal deaths" bit - you'll see what we mean! #NHS

🚨 NEW 🚨 Data just out would put England in the bottom 4 nations in Europe for bathing water cleanliness. Only 64% of sites meet the "the highest, cleanest classification." Based on 2023 data, JUST Albania, Poland, and Hungary performed worse.

@DefendourNHS Conclusion= "case for change" is as fantastical, unreliable & lacking in evidence as the "fantasy" economics indulged in by Govts, NHSE, ICBs,providers/trusts When we all know the aim is to deny us care by whatever means they can get away w whether closing hosps,beds, using PAs
