The Conservatives are spending billions of pounds of taxpayers' money on agency staff, instead of investing in the NHS workforce.
Patients are receiving worse care as a result.
Only Labour has a long-term plan to renew the health service.

The public pay for the NHS. It belongs to them.
Patient choice should be for the many, not just the well-informed few.
Transparent data and league tables will give patients the choice to go where waiting times are lower and performance is better.

Birkenhead MP slams government's 'dentistry crisis' birkenhead.news/birkenhead-m… @MickWhitleyMP
Labour Health retweeted
NHS dentistry has eroded away under the Conservatives.
In Suffolk, people can't find an NHS dentist, 100s are going to A&E and horror stories of DIY dentistry are emerging.
A Labour government will end Suffolk's dental desert.

13 years of Conservative government has left the NHS in the biggest crisis in its history.
It will fall to Labour, the Party that founded the NHS 75 years ago, to rescue, rebuild and renew the health service today.
@LabourHealth set out our plans here

Tens of thousands of patients were forced into A&E with tooth decay last year.
Under the Tories, NHS dentistry is in crisis.
Labour will provide 700,000 more urgent appointments a year, and make sure NHS dentistry is there for all who need it.

Instead of listening to people in Mid Bedfordshire, the Conservatives are laughing at them.
Patients are unable to access an NHS dentist with appalling consequences.
Labour will provide 700,000 extra appointments every year, so NHS dentistry is there for all who need it.

.@UKLabour will get our NHS back on its feet and fit for the future.
Today I’ve announced a doubling of diagnostic scanners with our ‘fit for the future’ fund.
Faster diagnosis means faster treatment, better outcomes and better use of taxpayers’ money.

For millions of patients, the NHS is no longer there for them when they need it.
Rishi Sunak is Inaction Man, refusing to meet with doctors to end NHS strikes and adding to the Tories' NHS backlog.
It will take Labour - the Party of the NHS - to restore it to good health.

'The PM has to get the doctors in, knock some heads together, and thrash out an agreement to avert strike action'.
Shadow Health Secretary ＠wesstreeting urges Rishi Sunak to 'show some guts', 'show some leadership' and get a deal done.

The Government's refusal to meet with NHS doctors is putting cancer patients at risk.
How can Sunak hold a summit to prepare for the winter crisis and forget to invite junior doctors and consultants?
Only Labour can restore the NHS to good health.

I’m delighted to welcome the new Shadow Health & Social Care team.
Here’s a thread introducing them and their portfolios as we head towards the general election where the future of the NHS and social care will be on the ballot paper…
ALT Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer visiting a hospital. Text: Labour’s mission to build an NHS fit for the future. An NHS that is there when people need it, with fewer lives lost to the biggest killers, in a fairer Britain where everyone lives well for longer.

It's heart-breaking to think that Martha Mills could still be alive today, had her parents been listened to.
Labour will write Martha’s rule into the NHS constitution.
Every patient should have the right, and know they have the right, to demand a second opinion.
Labour Health retweeted
The number of patients who’ve died while waiting for NHS treatment has doubled in the last five years.
People left waiting in agony in their final months.
The basic promise of an NHS that’s there for us when we need it has been broken by the Conservatives.
ALT The Daily Telegraph front page splashed with headline: Hospital waiting list deaths double in five years.
Labour Health retweeted
The NHS is having to use outdated scanners that are even older than this clapped-out Conservative Government.
It's time for an upgrade.
Only Labour has a plan to renew the NHS and make the service fit for the future.

The ‘40’ ‘new’ ‘hospitals’ are over-budget and behind schedule.
Many are not ‘new’, others are not ‘hospitals’, and there aren’t 40 of them.
The Government have abandoned hope on progress - they’re not the only ones.
Patients deserve better than this.

Conservative ministers have refused to meet with consultants to end these strikes for the past FIVE MONTHS.
Instead, Rishi Sunak uses the strikes as an excuse for his failure to cut waiting lists.
Patients don’t want excuses, they want action.

This announcement is just a repeat prescription from the Tories. People have heard it all before.
The reality is that under the Tories, patients find it harder than ever before to see a GP.
Steve Barclay is all talk, no trousers.
All GP surgeries in England will move to a digital phone system by spring, potentially bringing an end to the '8am scramble' when patients usually rush to secure an appointment.

It’s time for the Tories to come clean on why they appointed this hard right ideologue to run our NHS?

I’ve written to the @NAOorguk to request it launches an investigation into NHS use of recruitment agencies.
The NHS spent £3 billion on agency staff last year, including paying £5,200 for a doctor shift.
It’s the cost of failing to train enough staff.
