The UK's National Health Service (NHS) is facing a funding crisis, with hospitals being instructed to cut spending on doctors and nurses to address a £4.5 billion budget shortfall. This directive has sparked criticism from various sources, including politicians and healthcare professionals, who blame the Conservative government's management over the past 14 years for the NHS's current predicament. Calls for increased funding and a reevaluation of healthcare spending priorities have emerged in response to the growing financial strain on the NHS.
Today's Sunday Times - Hosptials told to make 4.5 Billion worth of savings. Our NHS has already been cut to the bone! Only a Tory Govt hell bent on destroying our NHS would force it to make more cuts in the middle of the biggest crisis in the history of the NHS! #NHSCrisis https://t.co/QZfMtqBU8k

This has been the strategy of the Uniparty for decades. Slowly make the NHS provision worse through massive bureaucracy, disorganisation, sell offs and private contracts, increasing waiting lists to force you to go private. We must fight together to build a whole new system! https://t.co/v6vf5Z3O7t
