Isn't the real reason for the u-turn on mandating vaccines a chronic staffing crisis in the NHS? My question to @sajidjavid https://t.co/SvAn9bY1BK — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Let’s hope this decision is a sign the Govt has finally woken up to the scale of the staffing crisis, and will publish a serious workforce plan with long-term independent forecasts on workforce planning and a plan to train, recruit and retain ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

If workforce shortages are so bad that we have to undermine the Secretary of State’s word with a u-turn, where’s the long-promised workforce plan? Where’s the backlog workforce strategy? Why did the Govt vote down a plan for independent forecasts to help workforce planning? — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

I do concede the practical arguments about workforce shortages are compelling - some predicted entire maternity units could be put at risk - but the solution is not a u-turn on an important safety matter of principle but finally gripping the workforce crisis once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Who will now believe the govt next time it tries to do the right thing? What happens if we get a more dangerous variant than omicron? Staff who reluctantly got jabbed to keep their job will feel cheated, & staff who held out will feel vindicated that the Govt can’t be trusted. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

So I supported the govt when they announced this. And they won the argument: most NHS leaders say this was right but they needed the gov to take a lead. They worked so hard to deliver it. But having marched people to the top of the hill we now have the worst of all worlds. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

I considered the issue carefully, with all the sensitivities involved, but concluded it was non-negotiable that staff working with highly vulnerable people should do everything possible to protect them against asymptomatic disease. If that isn't 'do no harm' what is? — PolitiTweet.org

I was intending to introduce mandatory flu vaccinations in my final year as Health Secretary before I was moved to another role. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

I understand the practical reasons why we have abandoned mandatory vaccinations but think the U-turn is completely wrong. Here's why… — PolitiTweet.org

Ever tried a beetroot latte? Last Friday, I made a new discovery in Farnham: this terrific cafe called ROOST - Kitchen & Pantry (next to the Lower Hart car park). They also have a branch in Godalming! #BouncebackSWSurrey @find_your_roost https://t.co/F8pDRSiB1j — PolitiTweet.org

🆘 our local countryside! Monday is the closing day for the consultation on extending the AONB-designated areas. It would be BRILLIANT if we achieve this - extending near green belt level protection to many areas in SW Surrey, such as Tice's Meadow (below) https://t.co/fsdS8kNMQJ https://t.co/pmSIh4OSyx — PolitiTweet.org

The evidence that having the same doctor is better for patients is getting stronger and stronger, so will the government consider going back to GPs having their own lists? My q to @sajidjavid https://t.co/HuCxfEqj1I — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Lord Stevens, former CEO of the NHS, described the government's failure to do long term workforce planning as 'wilful blindness.' Does @sajidjavid agree? https://t.co/Xj9h1HW8i4 — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

The govt has used birthrate plus to estimate the number of additional midwives we need and then funded them. If it’s good enough for midwives why not a similar system for the rest of the workforce? My question to sajid javid at @healthcomms today https://t.co/Jfy8RCPaNr — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

@Nus_Ghani is both a friend and a formidably brave MP & she must be listened to. Our party has made huge strides in tackling prejudice so we must leave no stone unturned in getting to the bottom of this extremely serious matter — PolitiTweet.org

The NHS has big and welcome plans to improve cancer diagnosis but the structures can still mean patients don't feel listened to https://t.co/mbvkocQwQV — PolitiTweet.org

The NHS is the only major health system to have so many national targets. We all know the logic for using them but does it focus managers on numbers not people? My q to @sajidjavid https://t.co/6x6Gd4fLry — PolitiTweet.org

From today in England, the Covid-19 isolation period has been cut to 5 days if you test negative on days 5&6 - a huge step forward in ensuring we remain one of the most open economies and societies in Europe. #covidnews https://t.co/9SkzFvtxhT — PolitiTweet.org

Great to meet with Farnham’s Alison Fitch & Rachel Morris MBE to discuss how to improve facilities for young people locally. One great idea is a pump track - made from the same tarmac as on BMX tracks but with the huge advantage that it can be used by wheelchair users too. https://t.co/yb7We0tAQH — PolitiTweet.org

For 2 days in a row I have asked health ministers when we will see a plan to deal with the workforce crisis in the NHS and each time been politely fobbed off. In case they are reading social media, here is why this matters 👇 https://t.co/ECRWnG5yKQ — PolitiTweet.org
