The British Medical Association (BMA) warns that a significant number of doctors have left the NHS, costing at least £1.6 billion to replace them. Labour criticizes the Conservatives for failing to lower NHS waiting lists and prioritize women's health. Concerns are raised about the state of NHS dentistry and mental health support under the Tory government.
Instead of cutting support for people with mental health conditions, the government should address the serious lack of NHS mental health provision. https://t.co/mb89xAuB3Y
Our NHS is in crisis and staff are burnt out. It comes as no surprise that 6.4 million mental health sick days were taken by staff last year. Shamefully, the Government refused to extend funding for mental health support for NHS workers yesterday. https://t.co/l9NvhDh3if
People across East Leeds raise with me their difficulty in getting access to a dentist. Across the country, we're hearing horrific stories of people having to pull out their own teeth. In Parliament I called on the Government to back the @DailyMirror Dentists For All campaign. https://t.co/5KXHjH3AN6
After 14 yrs of Tory mismanagement of our NHS, doctors are leaving the service in droves. Morale has plummeted, newly-qualified and experienced doctors are hanging up their stethoscopes. Yet the Tories scrapped two GP retention schemes last month https://t.co/DKP3fhf3L3
Under the Tories, NHS dentistry has been left to rot. In some areas, 99% of practices aren't accepting new NHS patients, and it's people like Jamie who are paying the price. 1 in 10 people have attempted their own dental work. NHS dentistry won't survive 5 more years of Tories. https://t.co/xeVNTBsCel
Fear for GP surgery's future as contract abandoned https://t.co/7pQfsyG3B3
Even Conservative MPs admit that NHS dentistry is in a desperate state after 14 years of Conservative government. Only Labour has a plan to rescue and rebuild NHS dentistry. https://t.co/cmJoTGPwtR

ICYMI: 'Over £400,000 of taxpayers' money has been spent on getting that man or woman to consultant level' Nigel Farage argues doctors trained by the NHS should be required to work for the health service for a given time period to stop them leaving Britain after training. https://t.co/ZRBITvkirw
“Are we facing an end to NHS dentistry?” That will all hinge on the choices made in Westminster. What’s clear is this crisis will be an issue on the doorstep at election time. It’s time for real ambition. Tell the PM to keep his promise. 👉 https://t.co/2FfPt0VagG https://t.co/p05genIGSf
More than 15,000 NHS doctors left Britain last year. It can cost up to £400,000 to train them. It’s only fair on the taxpayer that new doctors and nurses should stay here for a given period of time. https://t.co/00AZYdoE3w

Today, we revealed the devastating state of women’s health under this Tory Government. @UKLabour will fund millions more appointments a year to clear NHS backlogs. We must finally end the agony of women languishing on NHS waiting lists. https://t.co/e90fgCrdCz

Fourteen years of Conservative underinvestment and neglect has left Stepping Hill Hospital quite literally crumbling. I called on the Government to stop ignoring this urgent problem and deliver the investment that patients and hardworking NHS staff in Stockport need 👇🏾 https://t.co/HABDG3iVTI
Today, shocking figures have pointed to the systematic deprioritisation of women's health. 600,000 women in England waiting for gynaecological treatment, 33,000 of those waiting more than a year, and under 2/3rds of eligible women screened for breast cancer in the last 3 years https://t.co/uVR4OyHovs
Urgent action is needed to stem the exodus of doctors from the NHS, which is damaging patient care and costing taxpayers, @TheBMA warns. An estimated 15 000 to 23 000 doctors in England left the NHS prematurely between September 2022 and September 2023 https://t.co/32hDSWnjG5
Under the Conservatives too many women are waiting too long for healthcare treatment. Today at #HealthQuestions I asked the Secretary of State what it’ll take (other than a change of government) to change this. https://t.co/kGYCJK9pdr
I was pleased to speak in yesterday's debate on hospices, stressing the need to rethink our approach to hospice funding and palliative care demand. Our healthcare shouldn’t rely on charity for essential services. We need a sustainable funding model. #HospiceFunding https://t.co/f89cWPE7CW
I know many share my concern Whipps Cross still hasn’t had the go ahead to be rebuilt and it’s a huge barrier to patient care as well as costing our local NHS additional money they don’t have - today I demanded Tory ministers stop delaying the funding we need. https://t.co/goJ1J6pxGJ
HOSPITAL I launched the campaign for a new hospital for Doncaster on the day I was elected as the first Conservative MP for Doncaster for 55 years. We have had setbacks and have been told no. I don’t accept no for an answer. We need that new hospital. It’s not a question of… https://t.co/pXdaNtj9ap
At the last election the govt promised to deliver 6,000 more GPs by 2024-5 There are still 2,000 fewer GPs than in 2015. Part of the problem is morale has plummeted under the Tories, meaning experienced family doctors and newly qualified GPs are hanging up their stethoscopes👇🏽 https://t.co/LJO0LSC4yY
Health Ministers won’t repeat Rishi Sunak’s pledge to cut waiting lists by the time of the election. Instead they try to deflect blame to NHS staff. Who do you blame? NHS doctors and nurses, or Conservative Ministers? https://t.co/Efy354hPMy
Between September 2022 and September 2023, 15,000 - 23,000 doctors left the NHS prematurely in England alone. The estimated minimum cost to NHS employers and the public purse of replacing those doctors lies between £1.6 and £2.4 billion. There needs to be a real focus on staff… https://t.co/d1SSwxbvSU
Health ministers will not promise that NHS waiting lists will be lower at the general election than they were when Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister. Another broken promise. Only Labour will cut waiting lists, get our NHS back on its feet and build an NHS fit for the future.
Even more NHS doctors will go abroad, BMA warns. More than 15,000 left Britain last year amid a bitter pay dispute, with many ending up in countries such as Australia ⬇️ https://t.co/gRFON2BhVO
The financial cost to the NHS of doctors leaving the workforce is staggering. At least £1.6 billion, according to our new research. Let’s take a look at some examples 🧵👇 https://t.co/pRA1kX9wsJ https://t.co/RDFwWUh1yr
This is scandalous. The Conservatives owe an apology to the millions of women waiting months for vital treatment or to see a cancer specialist. Labour will get the NHS back on its feet and end the deprioritisation of women’s health once and for all. https://t.co/ufU55XQLLv
