Our Co-Chair John Puntis spoke to Ian Collins on Talk about NHS funding:

'In relation to other comparable European countries we don't spend as much on a per capita basis, we spend about 18% less than the average in the EU14 and I don't think we spend enough.'

Want to know why we disagree with Wes Streeting's plan for more privatisation in the NHS & why it's not just some 'middle-class lefty' argument but a really concerning prospect?

Listen to our Co-Chair John Puntis list out all the MANY reasons why this makes no sense at all 👇

Dear 🇬🇧,

The era of wilful ignorance, of “project fear”, of dismissing valid criticism of govt policy, is now over. Our country is in crisis and we must trust the wisdom of our experts — like John Puntis — to get us out of this mess. Listen up.

Our Co-Chair John Puntis told TalkTV the NHS needs urgent investment. We disagree with Wes Streeting's plan to withhold funding without reform

'We must fund the NHS. We spend 18% less per capita than comparable EU countries; as a consequence we get services that are 2nd rate'

Our Co-Chair John Puntis spoke to Times Radio re Streeting's plans

'The only way the private sector would have spare capacity is with govt investment. That money should go into the NHS. If we really want to tackle major NHS problems, building a 2tier system isn't the answer'

Our Co-chair John Puntis writes for Public Sector Focus about the latest NHS public attitudes survey. It shows an alarming decline in satisfaction, with just 24% of people happy with the service.

It doesn't have to be like this.

Right on the button from John Puntis for Keep Our NHS Public again in trying soberly to answer the not well-informed, ‘bull(y)ish’ comments from Wes Streeting MP who is off on one saying ‘look at me, I’m being so careful and promising nothing “the left” are on my case’

😡 Charging for hospital beds would betray an essential standard of our NHS

John Puntis is right, it would be a 'fundamental departure from the founding principles of the NHS'.

The public want a fully public NHS, free at the point of use.
