This highlights how #mentalhealth is not seen in the same light as physical health. The new 10yr plan for the #NHS in England describes “a workforce fit for the future”. This action by ⁦@uniofeastanglia⁩ doesn’t support such a stated ambition.

Inertia on welfare reform. ⁦@UKLabour⁩ MPs worried about their jobs, rather than putting the country 1st. Failure to introduce change will mean higher taxes, resulting in those who contribute most continuing to subsidise those who contribute little.

Those who did this are ‘enemies of the state’. Wilful damage of military equipment, particularly at this current time, is an act of treason & should be punished as such. Describing it as “an act of vandalism” shows how weak & pathetic @10DowningStreet is.

Last week, in response to the announcement regarding the abolishment of @NHSEngland , I posted on @LinkedIn that hopefully many of its highly paid staff wouldn’t be recycled into the #NHS as is often the way when such change occurs. This appointment extinguishes that hope.

It is an honour to be appointed to the role of Chief Executive at @GSTTnhs - the organisation is now very different to the one I left in 2019 and I am delighted and proud to return to lead it.

The state should provide a safety net for societies vulnerable. But with spending on health & disability benefits forecast to rise to £100.7bn in 2029-30, is the system sustainable? #benefits #health #disability #mentalhealth

Many usually loyal Labour MPs had voiced strong opposition to the idea of not increasing PIP in line with inflation, as part of expected welfare cuts.

The abolition of @NHSEngland has been long overdue. Hopefully many of its highly paid staff won’t be recycled into the #NHS, has is often the way with these changes, but savings from cutting their posts used for the direct delivery of patient care.

Shrinking @NHSEngland workforce is long overdue. While some staff make a valuable contribution to the #NHS the contribution of many (some highly paid) makes no/or has failed to make an impact on the delivery of patient care.

No one should feel embarrassed & intimidated in the workplace. The safety & dignity of this female #nurse have been ignored by an #NHS that ironically in its efforts to deliver diversity & equality has completely failed in this case. ⁦@sharrond62

Who will hold ⁦@NHSEngland⁩ to account? An organisation which has: many highly paid employees, doesn’t deliver direct patient care, failed to improve #NHS performance & a large budget. Scrutiny of those charged with regulation is also required.
