There are lots of reasons to think NHS when you vote, including the possible inclusion of the NHS in future trade deals with the USA. Whilst both Boris Johnson and Donald Trump have denied the NHS will be on the table, at least 6 secret talks have taken place between Government NHS Ministers and US Trade Officials.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Much closer to home, the London North West NHS Trust who run Ealing Hospital are desperately struggling to meet their \u2018cuts targets\u2019 and reduce their deficit whilst at the same time keeping patients safe. This is what 9 years of underfunding and Government NHS policy really means.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

A FEW NEW NHS REVELATIONS:<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Hospital beds numbers at record low:<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Over 17,000 beds have been cut from the NHS since 2010 leaving the number of beds at the lowest ever since records began. This includes over 9000 acute beds and more than 5,000 mental health beds, despite the ongoing scandal of mental health patients\u00a0being sent hundreds of miles from home<\/a>\u00a0because no bed is available locally. The loss of beds has triggered warning from medical bodies such as the BMA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Dr Rob Harwood, chair of the British Medical Association\u2019s consultants committee, said:\u00a0\u201cIt is extremely worrying that despite the BMA\u2019s warning of a year ago that 10,000 extra beds were needed, the numbers of hospital beds had actually fallen to a new record low.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese figures show the seriousness of the situation confronting patients this winter and can only add to the day-to-day struggles faced by our NHS frontline staff.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Thanks heavens they didn\u2019t manage to close 600 beds at Ealing & Charing Cross Hospital as was planned by NHS bosses!<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Ambulance Service to take fewer patients to A&Es<\/strong>:<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Yet another winter crisis is upon us with patients already being treated on trolleys in Ealing and elsewhere. The London Ambulance Service has now announced plans to reduce the pressure on A&Es by treating more people in their own homes, referring them to GPs or community services. Last month not a single London A&E met the target of seeing and discharging or admitting 95 per cent of patients within four hours. Our NHS desperately needs proper funding not desperate measures!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
