NHS staff are complaining that patients are refusing to be treated by non-white doctors and nurses. It’s not because of “racism.” It’s because frontline care is getting worse after thousands of foreign doctors and nurses who barely speak English, lack compassion, and have fraudulent qualifications have been hired in...

Dear ​🇬🇧​, ​​ ​​We junior doctors are set to launch another period of strikes for 5 consecutive days from 24-28 February. ​​ ​​Striking must always be a last resort and I’m furious that we still have to be doing this for a 10th time but with news this week that Rishi Sunak is personally preventing a resolution to the #DoctorsStrike because he doesn’t want nurses and other NHS staff to have their pay restored too — something all of us truly deserve — it’s an absolute necessity that we keep fighting. ​​ ​​It is simply not okay that a qualified doctor working a 48hr/week contract starts at £15/hr with £100,000 student debt and earns far less than our PA colleagues (no shade) who have less training and less debt. It is not okay that our NHS colleagues are visiting food banks. It is not okay that NHS hospitals are crumbling from the catastrophic defunding of the NHS of £400 billion pounds over the last decade. It is not okay that patients are suffering on the longest waiting list in NHS history at over 7.6m. It is not okay that 25,000 people died last year due to preventable delays accessing NHS emergency care. It is not okay that 24 hours in A&E is no longer just a TV show. It is not okay that millions cannot see a GP, an NHS dentist, or receive their Cancer care here in one of the wealthiest countries on Earth. ​​ ​​Until and unless we have safe staffing levels across the country then every one of these shocking failures of this government will not improve. ​​ ​​Without adequate staff, patients will not be protected and their care will continue to be delayed and denied. Pay restoration for NHS staff back to what we were earning in 2008 is not unreasonable and is the only way to stop this catastrophic staff haemorrhage overnight. ​​ ​​So please join us in urging this government to come back to the table, to meet with our elected representatives from The BMA, and to prevent the next round of strikes from taking place. Thank you. #DoctorsStrike #PayRestoration #SOSNHS

Must watch interview with @DrAmirKhanGP on NHS waiting lists and what we need to do to #SaveOurNHS Amir Khan, "We think the NHS is going to be there in our time of need and sadly that isn't the case for so many people now" Kate Garraway, "1 in 5 people are putting themselves into debt to pay for medical treatments" Amir Khan, "Either they pay for it or they spend weeks or months in agony waiting for an operation" Kate Garraway, "If you have a heart attack, stroke, the NHS is still, but when you come one step away from that, that's there the NHS is failing" Lindy Kirk, "I was planning to retire.. I was signed off sick because I couldn't function in the classroom.. I couldn't even put my own socks and shoes on.. I was just waiting.. If I couldn't afford to pay for it I'd still be waiting" Amir Khan, "Short-term we need to invest in NHS staff #PayRestoration Long-term we need to fill the 100,000 vacancies in the NHS.. Look at community services" "We have to be honest about austerity. Years of austerity have led to a sicker population. We need to tackle health inequalities.. Investment in social care.. better public health messaging.. Tackling obesity" "We need to invest in staff, buildings, infrastructure and technology investment" Ed Balls, "Are we moving into a phase where the NHS can't deliver?" Amir Khan, "We have to be honest about taxation. We will have to increase tax on the wealthy to pay for the NHS and get it back to what it was" "Pre pandemic we have over 4.5 million people on the NHS waiting lists and it was going up" "People might argue the NHS is a money pit, but if you look at the reality of adjusting how much money is being invested in the NHS in terms of population, inflation, that money is less than what it was before" Lindy Kirk, "I've been a higher rate tax payer for 20 odd years, I have paid my dues, I've worked since I was 23, I've worked hard for children in this country. But I've had to make the choice of paying for my surgery because the NHS is not there for me" Kate Garraway, "Department of Health says: we are making progress in reducing the NHS waiting list.. They quote the pressures of industrial action.. And that they're delivering record investment" Amir Khan, "I see it at ground level and I haven't seen the wait time come down, that isn't the reality that I'm facing with my patients"

Left: Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer make the BMA doctors strike about pay Right: Susanna Reid, "More than half of year 2 doctors have no job to go to next month" Labour are pitting the public against doctors on the grounds of pay, when the strikes are about more than pay, they're about the lack of jobs for doctors In this case, it's a lack of jobs in hospitals. But it's also about a lack of GP jobs, because Wes Streeting has limited the ability of GP practices to hire more GPs (while giving them budgets to hire other staff) We have a shortage of hospital doctors, we have a shortage of GP doctors, and it is Labour policy under Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting has worsened this problem The worst part, Streeting and Starmer both using the rise in flu cases to suggest that strain in hospitals is the doctors fault But when you look at the data, there have been nearly 1,000,000 patients treated in corridors this year It didn't just happen overnight, Labour, like the Conservatives before them, continue to underfund the NHS And with at least 10% of the NHS budget goes to private contracts, instead of investing in the NHS, by using private services, Labour continue to spend more on private health services than on the NHS: how is it efficient to pay more for the same service? Sorry Labour voters, but if you go with the line it's all about pay, you're missing the bigger picture, and you're putting your loyalty towards Starmer and Streeting who are misrepresenting what's going on, and distrusting the very people who spend their entire lives looking after other people, doctors

This clip has caused quite a stir - I stand by every word. It's estimated that the NHS spends £100 million a year on translation/interpretation. Is that a cost the British taxpayer should bear? The answer is a resounding no. I'm told that foreign patients feel 'more comfortable speaking in their native language'. To be entirely honest, so what? It's not our problem. If that's the case, they can bring a friend/translator - as Brits have to do all over the world if we want to access healthcare. That, or use tech/AI, which can provide rapid and incredibly accurate translation services. Not forgetting that we also have a huge issue with foreign nationals using the NHS, and then not paying. The Department of Health has confirmed to me that £100,000,000 was the amount due from 'chargeable overseas visitors' in 2022/23 for NHS treatment. The amount actually collected? Just £32,000,000. So yes, we should be more aware of people unable to speak English accessing NHS services - failure to pay invoices is costing us a vast amount of money every year. Clearly, exceptions should be made for sign language and Welsh speakers, but this is a minuscule amount of overall translation costs. Why should the British taxpayer fund translation into Romanian? Urdu? Bengali? And hundreds of other languages. Sorry, but it is NOT our problem. And you know what? A huge number of MPs agree with what I'm saying, but don't have the balls to say it. The country would be in a far better place if our politicians would outline uncomfortable truths, even if it results in being insulted and abused. I don't care. The NHS pleads poverty, then pumps money into translation/DEI. Health service leadership needs to get urgently get its priorities in order. We need a selfish NHS, that puts the British people first.

People often say that we need immigration because without it, the NHS would collapse. This just is not true. At the moment, we're not training enough medics in this country - but this is a choice. We do not need to rely on staff from overseas. The NHS has a deeply unusual setup when it comes to its workforce. The Government sets the rules for who can qualify as a medical professional, decides how many medical training places to offer, and controls the flow of medical graduates into the NHS. It decides how much to charge students, and under what conditions. And because the NHS is by far the country's main employer of medical professionals, the Government also has effective control over the pay and conditions of those who qualify, and is responsible for deciding where medical trainees go, and when. So the Health Service isn't subject to the same labour market forces as other organisations. The Government controls both the supply *and* the demand of its own workforce. In 2025, we had 15,723 British-trained doctors competing for 12,833 NHS training posts. Those British-trained doctors had already been whittled down from the thousands of people who apply to train as doctors every year, of whom only half are accepted. Hundreds of those rejected each year have three A* grades at A Level. The reason that we don't offer more medical degrees is because, at the moment, the NHS doesn't have enough training places for British-trained doctors. But at the same time, under the current system, British-trained doctors aren't given priority when it comes to the training places that we *do* have. So not only were those 15,723 British-trained doctors competing with each other for just 12,833 training places, they were also competing with 25,257 doctors trained overseas. This is rubbish for those British doctors, and a colossal waste of money for the rest of us, because it costs taxpayers about a quarter of a million pounds to educate each doctor to the point of graduating. But perhaps this means the NHS gets the very best doctors? No. In fact, doctors trained overseas are 2.5 times more likely to be referred to the GMC, the regulator responsible for maintaining standards in the medical profession. The GMC hears cases relating to professional misconduct and medical malpractice. Exchanging British-trained doctors for those trained overseas is not always a like-for-like swap. But here’s the craziest twist of all. The training places we do have are *randomly allocated*. No priority for British doctors, despite the fact we’ve paid to teach them. And no priority for the best graduates, despite the fact we need their skills. Top performing students have no choice over where they go, and aren't given priority when allocating new training places. They often have to wait months to find out where they're being posted, and will often receive very little notice before being asked to pick up sticks and relocate to another part of the country. Last summer, one of my constituents qualified as a doctor. He graduated with one of the very highest marks in the year, in the top three, from one of the most competitive medical schools in the country. He is clearly an outstanding student and will make an incredible doctor. In any sane system he would have been placed immediately, and been able to choose his location and specialism to keep him incentivised and happy within the NHS, and to make the most of his obviously considerable talents. Instead, because of the mismanagement of places and the lottery system, he wasn’t placed in the first round of allocations. He wasn’t placed in the second round. He wasn’t even placed in the third round, or even the fourth. With less than four weeks to go he still had no placement and no sense of where he would be spending the next few years of his life, including whether he might be able to live close to his partner, another doctor qualifying at the same time as him. He might not have got a training placement at all. Fortunately, the Government is looking to change the system, so that British-trained doctors are prioritised for training places. This is a great change. We need to train more medical professionals in this country, including doctors. The Health Service does not need to rely on overseas doctors - there is plenty of talent right here. But we also need a system which prizes excellence, and provides clarity for medical trainees. The most talented, British-trained graduate doctors should clearly get top priority, and should be able to operate within a system that makes it possible to plan their lives and build a career here. Both medical trainees and patients would benefit from such a system. The alternative is more talented British doctors going abroad, and more reliance on migration.
