Proud to have worked with Michael and others on this and I think it's fair to say that the whole team feel the same.

We gave families, healthcare workers and keyworkers a vital voice at a time of unimaginable hardship when no one else was listening.

NHS got literally two lines of mention in the #budget and that was mostly to celebrate the loss of 18,000 workers, dismissed as "back office staff".

Many of these people (who do btw include clinical staff) worked through covid, and they provide vital admin support to frontline clinicians.

I find the glee here about making thousands of hard working NHS staff redundant - and simultaneously therefore ensuring that clinical staff's workloads are increased even further with administration tasks they didn't sign up for - both tone deaf and distasteful.

The NHS isn't an 'ecosystem' to be divvied up between private interests. It's OUR service & must remain THE NHS providing healthcare for all.
