We are being lied to by Matt Hancock Secretary of State Health Social Care about the NHS Restoration

Beware, the NHS Restoration that Matt Hancock Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, is a complete lie. What is more likely is that you will receive a discharge letter like I received today from the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in the form of St Mary's Hospital for treatment that you have battled to get for years and fought to get. There will be no prcoessing of people in queues or waiting for treatment or starting treatment, no catch-up, no restoration, Mr Hancock is a LIAR. You will get a letter with the words: "Dear Patient, Due to the ongoing situation with Coronavirus pandemic,..... As it could be an extended time until normal planned services can resume, the clinical team have confirmed that under the current circumstances it would be appropriate to return your care to your GP in the short term, where you will ne able to refer at a later date if necessary."A nice simple way to fudge the statistics, refer your patients undergoing treatment back to their GPs so that they can wait for a FEW MORE YEARS before getting another referral.So much for the bollocks that Hancock said today: 'our message is that the NHS is open', 'seek help as you always would', 'the NHS will always be there as you need it', and 'starting tomorrow we will strt the restoration of the NHS.Absolutely a restoration once ALL THE PATIENTS HAVE BEEN DISCHARGED.

We now know, it was known care homes were exposed to a pandemic

There seem to be a mish mash of different companies making up the NHS supply system since it was privatised.

The evidence of the panorama program was obvious. It is interesting that no one minister has publicly refuted what was said. The ppe crisis is appalling. Some of the evidence of lack of equipment was horrible. Knowing someone who is just out of intensive care and another nursing friend who has recovered and just returned to work part time. We have also seen that the evidence on death statistics is even more damming. When the most vocal anti snowflake Piers Morgan is slamming the lies and incompetence of this government we know where the truth lies.

We are being lied to by the BBC. I presume the contributors who are taken in by the panorama programme are woke dupes who read the Guardian.  Change your paper and learn the truth.  The NHS staff who appeared in the programme were recommended by Nigel Flanagan, apparently a former Unison official, and were Labour activists and supporters, not random choices.  The programme broke BBC guidelines by not revealing their affiliations.

He used to be George Osborne's lackey so the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.

Another thing that was slipped through was the cataract con. Some time ago if you went to the optician and they saw a cataract he refered you. Now or a while ago the size of the cataract was increased so that less people qualified for treatment. Even worse news for people with myopia as the effect of a cataract is magnified by this condition.

I wonder who taught him to lie ??

Philippa, Absokutely, they are fixing the Coronavirus-treatment-created treatment backlog doe non-Coronavirus patients NOT by respecting the referrals process, the queuing, but by simply discharging the waiting patients back to their GPs, so hey, no waiting list to have to restore, job done, what's the lives of a few of the (live)stock, I wonder how many other people got a letter like me JUST BEFORE Hancock's lies in the NHS Restoration announcement so that they couldn't quote that because they have ALREADY been discharged? I can see hoardes of NHS administrators having absolute orgasms over the past few days in their joy at being able to discharge so many of their waiting patients with the Coronavirus as a reason, meanwhile the NHS Nightingale Coronavirus Hospitals basically HAVE NO OR FEW PATIENTS while non-Coronavirus patients remain untreated due to demand for Coronavirus care, does this not add up to anyone other than me?

Panorama on PPE tonight that everyone should watch.  A sickening betrayal of our NHS.

Philippa Bond ● 1827d

Well when the waiting lists were excessive wasn't getting rid of the lists suggested as a solution?  If not that it was something similar!
