This is a betrayal of NHS patients.
Big pharma & Donald Trump have got what they want.
In caving to these demand, the UK government has sacrificed the lives of thousands of patients in order to inflate pharma profits. Disgraceful.

US and UK agree zero tariffs deal on pharmaceuticals
The deal follows threats of tariffs as high as 100% on branded drug imports.

I have both those with chronic health conditions and medics in my inner circle/family so I well know there are serious issues on both sides.
At the end of the day tho, it comes down to this; if doctors don't stand up now and do the hard thing, there'll be no NHS left for anyone.
Up the workers 💪

Health service inflation estimated at ~4% (population increase, people living longer, ill for longer etc)
NHS yearly increase for 14 yrs has been less than 1%.
You can’t cut NHS by ~3% a year for 14 yrs & expect efficiency savings.
Things are cut to the bone & beyond.
I know. My wife is a nurse.

Public services are largely paid for by a combination taxes, NI and fees. Surely better public services can be achieved through productivity gains as well as increased funding… but never something for nothing.
