Despite being shackled to broken Brexit Britain, Scotland clearly has the best run part of the NHS in the UK. God only knows how bad it must be across England and Wales under Labour.

This guy has form. If he is so keen to politicise the NHS then stand for his tory party . He comes out with the same stuff on a regular basis. The NHS is still here.This is from 2 years ago.

While you wait weeks to see a GP, NHS doctors in England are being forced into unemployment; blocked by Government caps that stop them from furthering their training to become specialist Consultants/GPs. This year, there were around 30,000 doctors applying for 10,000 speciality training places. That means thousands of capable doctors ready to serve the public and the NHS are being turned away. Every rejected doctor is a lost opportunity to cut waiting lists, staff wards safely and bring the NHS back from crisis. And Wes Streeting’s response? Just 2,000 extra speciality training places over 3 years. That will not fix the doctor unemployment crisis in England. It will continue to leave patients waiting months for care and will push doctors out of the NHS altogether. This is one of the reasons why NHS resident doctors are going back out on strike. Doctors want to work. Patients want care. It’s the Government that’s standing in the way. #EndTrainingCrisis

The NHS is facing a critical staffing crisis. 1000s of UK doctors are being denied NHS training jobs due to restrictive Government policies. Many are moving to 🇦🇺 for better pay and safer hours. Without urgent action, there won’t be enough doctors to run our health service.

While you wait hours to be seen in A&E and weeks for a GP appointment, NHS doctors are being forced into unemployment. This year, 40,000 doctors applied for 10,000 training jobs. Without these training jobs, doctors cannot progress to become the GPs and Consultants the NHS desperately needs. What the public isn’t told is that these training jobs are deliberately capped by the Government. Catastrophic workforce planning has created a farcical situation; patients are crying out to see a doctor, while thousands of fully trained doctors are locked out of the NHS. This year, 14 doctors competed for every single A&E training job. Five doctors competed for every GP training job. The NHS is turning away dedicated, talented doctors at the door. This is one of the reasons resident doctors went out on strike and why we are reballoting. We are training doctors at enormous personal cost; years of study, debt, night shifts, missed family moments, and then telling them there is no place for them in the NHS. This is not just a workforce failure. It is a moral one.

Hours waiting in A&E. Weeks for a GP appointment. Yet thousands of NHS doctors ready to help the public are being locked out of the system. Doctors need training jobs to qualify as Consultants and GPs; but the Government has capped the available number, creating a bottleneck that leaves doctors unemployed and patients waiting longer. This year there were 30,000 doctors applying for 10,000 NHS training posts. That’s the scale of the crisis Westminster won’t talk about. With no credible solution from Wes Streeting, this jobs crisis is one of the reasons Resident Doctors will be striking from the 17th of December. Patients need doctors. Doctors need jobs. The Government needs to act.

In October alone, 54,000 patients waited more than 12 hours on a trolley in A&E corridors. Yet at the very same time, the NHS is turning away around 13 fully qualified doctors for every single A&E training job. The reason is simple. The Government has capped specialty training posts, meaning doctors are being blocked from training to become the consultants and GPs of the future. This year, around 40,000 doctors applied for just 10,000 training jobs. These are highly qualified, dedicated doctors who want to work in the NHS, but a broken system is pushing them into unemployment or out of the NHS altogether. That is why resident doctors are on strike and why we are re-balloting: to fix the jobs crisis, address pay erosion, and retain doctors in the NHS. Rather than engaging seriously with the The BMA, the Health Secretary has focused on rhetoric instead of solutions. What patients and doctors need now is a credible plan to train and retain the doctors the NHS so clearly needs.

Doctors in England are now facing unemployment because of decisions being made in Westminster. This year, 30,000 doctors applied for just 10,000 NHS training jobs. Doctors need these posts to become the Consultants and GPs the NHS is crying out for; yet the Government has capped the number of places. The result? Thousands of hardworking, highly trained doctors pushed aside, even after years of hard work and sacrifice. Wes Streeting’s suggestion of bringing forward 1,000 extra training places for this year doesn’t even scratch the surface of a crisis this deep. This is one of the reasons why resident doctors will be back out on strike in December; and why we’re reballoting. Unemployed NHS doctors, while patients sometimes wait years for care. A system this broken won’t fix itself, so doctors are standing up to fix it.
