As the NHS celebrates turning 75, it's useful to examine what happened to NHS dentistry and how it crumbled to naught, like a rotten tooth. #NHS75

I'm sorry, but #NHS doesn't need an anniversary. They need resources and better pay. #NHS75

My great gran, died age 96 in 2004, was a lifelong Labour voter, because of the NHS

"I had 8 kids without it. And I hope you never find out what that's like. And we've got to keep those other buggers away from it, because they'll take it off us the first chance they get"

#Brexit has pushed our #NHS to the edge and failed our country. Now, they want you to forget their Brexit lies. Don’t. #SOSNHS #NHS75

Nye Bevan, the Labour Party politician who was instrumental in setting up the NHS in 1948 said,

‘Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay, nor an offence for which they should be penalised, but a misfortune the cost of which should be shared by the community… No society can legitimately call itself civilised if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means.” #nhs75 #NHSBirthday #SOSNHS

🎂75 today💙- the #NHS is 'locked into a 'spiral of decline' - which began at least a decade ago alongside the era of austerity.
While the pandemic exacerbated problems [mainly over staffing and resources] the decline set in long before Covid-19 arrived.' https://inews.co.uk/news/health/senior-medics-ministers-nhs-decline-health-service-2452660?ITO=newsnow

#NHS75 Celebration is in the air: a new Teams background and the trust CEO 'hoping' that staff 'will find a few moments to celebrate the anniversary'. I 'hope' you all are looking forward to the momentous occasion tomorrow.
