Beyond Disgraceful NHS Cuts!

NHS Trusts in England are being told to make efficiency savings and deep cuts because apparently, we are billions of pounds ‘overspent’ and need a ‘financial reset’.
As The Guardian reports ([link removed]) ,’

‘Hospitals in England are cutting staff, closing services and planning to ration care in order to make “eye-watering” savings demanded by NHS bosses.’ Cuts to this extent will inevitably have a devastating impact.

Quite a lot of this so called ‘overspend’ or ‘deficit’ is due to NHS Trusts having no option but to employ lots of agency staff to cover the many vacant posts we now have in our NHS. The Tories spent years undermining our NHS through year upon year of underfunding, cutting services to the bone, costly restructures, privatisation by stealth, real-terms pay cuts, cutting training bursaries for nurses, and much more besides. This led to huge stress on services and a big exodus of valuable and experienced staff.

The cuts the current Labour government are making are unnecessary. Austerity is a political and ideological choice. In a rich sovereign state like the U.K., we could choose to do things differently such as tax the very rich a bit more and invest in our NHS and other vital public services.

The Labour needs to stop all NHS cuts now, re-build our NHS into the world class service it was before the Tory Party started its austerity cuts, reinstate nursing bursaries, restore pay, and stop all privatisation and outsourcing.

Starmer is starting to feel the pressure to reverse some cuts and take more of an anti austerity direction. So its crucial we keep up the pressure, boldly call out all austerity, cuts and inequality, and come together united against Austerity 2.0 on the 7th June (and beyond) at the National Demonstration,12pm, Portland Place, London. Join Us!
