More hypocrisy from Streeting, who is using yet another Reform Party dogwhistle. There are thousands of UK medical graduates on the scrap heap because they can't find jobs in the UK.

The Guardian · Post-Brexit reliance on NHS staff from ‘red list’ countries is unethical, Streeting saysBy Denis Campbell

Wes Streeting is all over the media pushing his health 'reforms' this weekend.
A reminder..

"Good Law Project research shows that more than 60% of the money invested in the new health secretary since he entered parliament in 2015 has come from companies and individuals with links to private health"

Our PM, #Starmer, is off to do deals with this POTUS, a convicted felon, many of whose supporters are disgusted and appalled by the video he shared.
A video that is utterly disrespectful and offensive to many in the Middle East, to their culture, their values, and to their society.
Our PM, Starmer, announced yesterday he would cut foreign aid and use the monies for armaments, munitions etc nicely described as ‘defence’.
Our PM, Starmer, appears to have thrown the UK lot in with that of #FeloniousTrump, and Netenyahu, and Russia, despite some soothing words towards Ukraine and EU.
Our PM, Starmer, continues to announce policies that impoverish the most disadvantaged in society, while failing to tax the wealthiest appropriately.
Our PM, Starmer, approves his health minister #WesStreeting dismantling the #NHS and reducing the staff even further.
The UK is in massive trouble as there is no difference between the policies of Labour, Tory, or Reform Ltd. All are right-wing shills supportive of #Musk #Trump and repressive regimes.

Ravi Barod was the surgeon who operated on #WesStreeting. He primarily practices at The Royal Free London Private Patients Clinic

It is, therefore, entirely possible for Streeting to claim he was treated at an NHS hospital.

It is also entirely possible that he was treated as a private patient within that NHS hospital

The alert from the Independent says Wes Streeting announces indefinite ban on puberty blockers for children.

Except he hasn't - only trans children. Because these magic drugs can discern whether they're in a cis person or not, and act in a totally different way (one fine, one poisonous).

Thanks for showing again your true colours as a religious person first, then gay a distant wherever.

Also congrats to Agent Cass. Your work has paid off.

I haven't understood why #WesStreeting says that #AssistedDying will cost the #NHS money that will have to be allocated from other areas. A huge percentage of healthcare costs are spent on patients in the last year of life — I've seen estimates of almost 25%, but it's bound to vary by country — and a patient who has chosen to die doesn't incur those costs.

The process of assisted dying itself will cost money for the consultations and the drugs, but will those costs really outweigh the cost of palliative care, even as it exists today? I would have thought that providing top-notch palliative care was the more expensive option.

My own view is that I'd prefer the option to die peacefully, at a time of my own choosing, and probably at home, if I'm in severe pain or I have a degenerative disease, and I'd also like to be able to write a living will that will end my life if I have dementia that's so severe that I no longer know who and where I am. Once those healthcare resources are no longer doing me any good, why not spend them somewhere more fruitful? But I completely respect the fear that greedy families will nudge older people into ending their lives before their assets get eaten up by nursing home fees.

If you live in Wiltshire or BANES your local hospital and community service just got taken over by Virgin, a fully private health 'provider'. A decision directly signed off by Wes Streeting.

in mid-October, Streeting’s NHS awarded a contract for around £1.3bn to HCRG Care Group, the rebranded Virgin Care, through Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board,

Forget about even the anti-trans part a minute here, the fact that a supposed gay man like Wes Streeting is actively courting with and acquiescing to a well-known, long-time anti-gay group like Christian Concern, should be eye-opening for anyone left with even half an open mind to what game is really being played out into their minds.
