The Health Secretary is welcome to tell us which patients we should send home earlier. She can come on my ward round any time. @YvetteCooperMP
Doctors should consider sending more hospital patients home earlier to relieve pressures on the NHS over winter, the Health Secretary has said. newspaper.dailymail.com/scot…

Almost £1bn in NHS funds has been paid to private healthcare companies over 3 years. Healthcare funding belongs on the frontlines, not in private equity pockets. Send our letter to tell your MP to push for real change: everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/s…

Today in 1936, the British Union of Fascists led by Oswald Mosely tried to march through the largely Jewish East End of London. They were met with around 20,000 people — Jewish, Irish & working-class — in what is now known as the Battle of Cable Street.

I’ve seen people on here falsely claiming Jewish groups were banned from the official Cable Street March in London today. It’s utter nonsense of course, and here’s the Great Yiddish Parade band. 👇

So many Jews at the Battle of Cable Street spoke about their experiences. Many were internationalists who stood in solidarity with people across borders. #CableStreet90

Hello Lord Watson of Palantir. Here are some more "inadmissible facts" you have conveniently ignored. According to NHS England itself, on precisely the figures you quote: “We cannot therefore draw conclusions about cause and effect as other variables have not been controlled for.” NHS England confirmed that these figures do NOT provide causal evidence that your employer's software created the improvements you’re claiming england.nhs.uk/digitaltechno… In July, the statistics regulator warned that NHS England would need to "include clear information about causality" in relation to these figures. Another inadmissible fact osr.statisticsauthority.gov.… When the Health Foundation compared hospitals using Palantir’s discharge tool OPTICA with those that were not, its findings went against your purported figures. They "found no meaningful difference in delayed discharge performance in trusts that have adopted OPTICA compared to those that have not... We found no noticeable improvement in discharge performance among trusts using OPTICA." Worse, they also "found a marked deterioration in performance at South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust after the adoption of OPTICA." osr.statisticsauthority.gov.… Days into your new role, and already publishing disinformation.
Later today protesters will demand ‘No Palantir in our NHS’    While they protest, someone, somewhere will get an operation scheduled earlier, a cancer diagnosis quicker, a loved one home from hospital sooner - thanks to the software that those protesters would switch off.   Here is what you won’t hear. Trusts using the software have recorded: • 117,000 additional operations • 14.3 per cent reduction in discharge delays for long stay patients • 5.6 per cent improvement in the number of people receiving a cancer diagnosis within 28 days     As a more articulate person once said: ‘certain facts, although in a sense known to be true, are inadmissible.’

The patients & staff protesting across the country today know that a company like Palantir should have no place in our NHS. They have a moral compass - unlike @tom_watson, who is being paid to repeat *debunked* claims about the benefits of Palantir's software. Embarrassing! 🤡

Protest over @Palantir, lunchtime today, Homerton Hospital - pressure from staff unions and local groups has already pushed the hospital to reject Palantir. Protest this evening outside Palantir's HQ in Soho Square at 6pm to get them kicked out of the NHS altogether

My solidarity with everyone joining the protests today to kick Palantir out of our NHS. As I said in Parliament recently: from serious concerns over its handling of patient data to its human rights record, this US tech giant should have no role in our NHS.

In the UK no 81 year old husband is working to pay for his wife’s medical bills In the UK kind strangers aren’t funding a GoFundMe In the UK the population funds the care, healthcare ‘free at the point of need’ Thank you 🙏🏼 #NHS Some healthy & wealthy people want to change it
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are pouring in for 81-year-old Donald Johnson after the internet found out he was working 14-hour days to help pay for his wife's cancer treatment. For the past three years, Johnson has delivered lost luggage after struggling to find other work to cover their bills, all while helping care for Josephine, his wife of 57 years. Then a North Texas resident saw him struggling with the bags and decided to step in, launching a GoFundMe to help with the couple's medical bills and give Johnson a chance to finally retire. Now, strangers have raised more than $270,000 for the couple. Johnson says the support could finally let him put down the luggage and spend more time where he wants to be: by his wife's side.
