Could you afford your treatment without the NHS? We must put a stop to the creeping privatisation of health services in the UK. Please repost if you agree.

… “extending to people I don’t like” - an act of courage! Resonates with Valarie Kaur’s Compass of Love cited in her book See No Stranger. 💌

Elder wisdom shared! 🙌🏽@Juliet_Young1 and @HelenBevan for the share👍🏽!

Tomorrow night we spend the whole programme debating what's gone wrong with the NHS and how to fix it. We will have a Health Minister and opposition as well as NHS staff and patients. What specific questions do you want to see discussed? #C4News
