The NHS has never been under greater threat. Sharing good news stories reminds both the public and politicians that we must not allow it to fail.

Verdict was luckily no damage to my new hip joint but small fracture line in pelvic bone, explaining sudden increase in pain. Well done to all staff involved for coordinating and working together to get patients seen to! @butNHS #BigUpTheNHS 2

Forever grateful for our wonderful @NHS @keepnhspublic @butNHS
The story behind this picture. This guy got bitten by a Rattlesnake it cost him Β£153k to save his life. They charged him $83,341.25 for antivenom that cost them $2,500. That is private healthcare and there was nothing he could do except pay.

I’m experiencing the greatness of the NHS as we speak! I work for it as well as being treated as an inpatient right now, by EXCELLENT staff with high levels of training and students included. @butNHS #BigUpTheNHS Healthcare should NEVER be for profit!

We didn't have parties to "boost morale". We didn't have quiz nights. We didn't have champagne. We watched our colleagues die. We watched the bodies pile high in their thousands. These lying, cheating, self-serving charlatans need to be flung out of office. Use your vote. Vote.

🚨BREAKING NOW Private firms have made Β£6.7 billion in profits from NHS contracts since January 2012. *That is Β£10 million a week.* No profit should be taken out of the NHS. #EndNHSPrivatisation weownit.org.uk/10-million-po…

BRSK are currently installing giant telegraph poles in my street despite strong local opposition. The area is already well provided with fibre connections. It cannot make sense in terms of long term business planning. Is anyone else having similar problems?

I worry it may be another example of government money being siphoned into business without a viable long term benefit - as with PPE etc. Are there any investigative journalists out there who would like to have a look at how the money is flowing? Please RT.

It is a scandal that for the last 75 years we have had a fantastic National Health Service but not a viable National Social Care Service. At last we have a government that is trying to address this anomoly - by destroying the NHS. #loveitorloseit #butnhs #KateGarraway

Public satisfaction with #NHS is at an all-time low, a deliberate political policy to push people into the arms of private healthcare. In fact, NHS activity & productivity is pretty good, given the resources it has. But it simply doesn’t have the resources to keep up with demand.

The vultures are circling. This in prime position on Btoad Street in Birmingham. Not cheap so they must expect a high conversion rate for the few junior docs who see it.

In 2010, 70% of you were satisfied with the NHS. Now, only 24% are. 14 years of Tory government understaffing, underfunding & private sector outsourcing have trashed the NHS into a travesty of the service we want to give you. It is heartbreaking & so disgustingly wrong πŸ˜”
