Vote to save YOUR NHS on Thursday
THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT THE 2012
HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE ACT THAT NONE OF US VOTED FOR:
The Royal College of GPs said, "We still have concerns about commercialisation, increased bureaucracy and standards of patient care that the Government has not allayed".
The Royal College of Nurses said "The announcement that the cap for private income for NHS hospitals would be 49% has left members with real fears that the needs of the market could come ahead of the needs of patients".
The Royal College of Midwives said, “This bill is a massively expensive distraction from the challenges that the NHS faces in trying to improve healthcare at a time of severe spending restraint."
Responses to a survey of the 'Chartered Society of Physiotherapists' showed that 80.5% opposed the reforms and 58% ‘strongly agreed’ with a statement that the reforms would harm patient care.
84% of Psychiatric Doctors wanted the Health & Social Care bill scrapped.
The British Association of Occupational Therapists said "We are extremely disappointed that our concerns have not been listened to and that AHP’s are notably absent from this process, in spite of Government promises to put clinicians in the driving seat of NHS reform."
79% of respondents from a survey of the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health wanted "The ‘outright withdrawal’ of the bill rather than to continue to push for amendments".
9/10 Hospital Physicians opposed the bill.
The British Medical Association said the Health and Social Care bill would be "Irreversibly damaging to the NHS" and called for Doctors to take an "Active stand" against them.
The Faculty of Public Health said "We are now calling on the government to withdraw the bill in its entirety, because it would be in the best interests of everyone's health."
THE FRONTLINE PROFESSIONALS WERE COMPLETELY IGNORED DURING THE BIGGEST EVER TOP DOWN REORGANISATION OF THE NHS. SO ON THE 7TH OF MAY, FOR ALL OUR SAKES, PLEASE TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO IGNORE DAVID CAMERON AND VOTE TO SAVE OUR NHS.
