Writing to the Hendon MP for the Nth time about the NHS

 Dear Matthew Offord,

I am writing to you about the NHS crisis.

As you may know, the number of elective NHS operations such as eyes, that have been farmed out to private companies, has dramatically increased.  This has led to an increased number of deaths according to a study by Oxford University.  The Conservatives have carried on where Labour began.
While Labour's Health Secretary Alan Milburn MP found himself conveniently working for a fund that invests in private health companies, their shadow health secretary was quoted in the media promising to put private companies to the task of clearing the backlog.

At Barnet hospital, Labour started a 33 year PFI project which bleeds money.  I have proposed a solar deal which will re balance the hospital's bills by providing solar energy for the community's benefit using land and infrastructure that is already on site.

This is not just about privatisation.  The solution clearly lies in social care.  The £14 billion over the next 2 years promised by the conservatives comes nowhere near the promises to nurses that you made, in your manifesto, for 40 new hospitals, many new doctors and nurses, and so on.  As the budget consultation approaches let's be honest that there needs to be a lot more funding for social care for disabled people.  This will allow carers the decent pay of £15 an hour they deserve while they risked their lives in the pandemic to keep their essential work going.  There needs to be enough funding for a 20% lift in nurses average pay too, to allow them to afford the fuel to get to work, and to be able to feed themselves.

This is urgent.  There are people wetting themselves in emergency departments, that are overwhelmed with these patients.

Could I suggest you reply to me once you have written to the health secretary which I asked you to do in a previous email.

Yours sincerely,

Ben Samuel
