Dear šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§, The @Conservatives took away your healthcare, held you hostage on the longest waiting list in NHS history, and are now forcing you to go private in our new 2-tier health system. @UKLabour, itā€™s time to listen to our GPs and fix our primary care crisis NOW. #SOSNHS

UK patients going private to escape referrals 'black hole', say GPs

Doctors warn of 'rationing' as latest monthly figures show no available appointments for about 400,000 cases

Patients are increasingly turning to private healthcare to escape a referrals "black hole", GPs have warned, as the NHS struggles with a shortfall of available appointments.
The most recent figures show GP practices make about 400,000 referrals a month to outpatient clinics that are fully booked.

Some patients will be able to choose an alternative provider, some will be booked at a later date, but many end up being bounced back to their local surgery.

Dear šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§, Imagine having cancer and being forced to accept your death, not because itā€™s untreatable, but because your govt has destroyed local NHS and public transport, forcing you to travel hours for care. You canā€™t afford it. So you die. This is #ToryBritain#SOSNHS

Dear šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§, Not a strike in sight, just a militant govt holding you hostage on the longest waiting list in NHS history, forcing you to suffer until in desperation, you empty your life savings into their private healthcare market. Your family isnā€™t safe in Tory Britain. #SOSNHS

Dear šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§, 14 years ago, the Tories inherited the #1 ranked healthcare system on the planet and look what damage theyā€™ve done: We now have the longest GP, A&E, cancer, and outpatient waits in NHS history at 10 million people. They don't deserve power. They deserve prison. #SOSNHS

A graphic shows NHS data waiting list currently at 6.35m while ONS data says itā€™s 9.7m.
