This would not solve all the issues around burnout but at least we could look stressed frontline professionals in the eye and say there is a long term solution in place to deal with the chronic excessive workload they face - which has to be the right first step to take. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Would it be expensive? No: the irony is it would be cheaper because we would save money on the annual £6 bn (yes you heard it right) we spend on locum doctors/agency nurses even outside pandemics. — PolitiTweet.org

We need an independent body - perhaps HEE - to publish independent workforce projections for the next 5/10/20 years based on changes in tech, medicine & skills with recommendations as to the number that should be entering training. More in our report here: https://t.co/ie1X5wyS8B — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

We need to look at other reforms that have successfully created a discipline on governments to be more long term - one of the best of which is the way the OBR keeps Chancellors 'honest' about economic projections in budgets. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

It takes 7 years to train a doctor and 3 years to train a nurse, so there is never any political incentive to prioritise the training budget. Money will always - and understandably - go first to more pressing short term priorities. Post pandemic we will have quite a few of those. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

I set up 5 new medical schools and increased doc/nurse/midwife training places by 25%, one of the biggest ever rises. But I have concluded the system we have now will never deliver the staff we need. Without reform, we will not tackle burnout - & ultimately put patients at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

There are shortages in nearly every medical specialty with the number of doctors and nurses we train only indirectly linked to patient numbers or demand, and mainly the result of spending review haggling between the Treasury and DHSC Ministers. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

The WHO defines burnout as much more than 'a stressful day at work’: it’s chronic fatigue, emotional exhaustion and a feeling of being distant from your job. The NHS has done much on burnout recently (h/t @Prerana_Issar) but one thing remains: a failed workforce planning system. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

This Metro headline sums up our @CommonsHealth report perfectly. Covid has exposed the workforce emergency we face in the NHS, and we put all of our health at risk if we continue to ignore it. A thread… https://t.co/brdewmH1C5 — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Good to speak on World Environment Day about the need to hardwire sustainable consumption into everyday life. We will get there with smart, practical measures to ease the transition, but we need to help developing countries do the same which is why returning to 0.7% is so vital! https://t.co/rlgYYvFxfH — PolitiTweet.org

No foreign secretary did more to stop sexual violence being used as a weapon of conflict than ⁦@WilliamJHague⁩. We should listen what he says about the horrors in Tigray today and use the G7 to take decisive action to stop history being repeated https://t.co/iUXo1YqSbT — PolitiTweet.org

This is a big moment for all who care about patient safety. Much more to do but it is also remarkable to have got to this point — PolitiTweet.org

Any reforms to social care must be up and running before the next election but will they? My q to @Helen_Whately https://t.co/anpjpIrG3o — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Mallen lost his son Edward to suicide in 2015 and has become the country's most formidable campaigner on suicide prevention. Listen to this harrowing account of what happened, as told today to @CommonsHealth https://t.co/M1xUb3sYJY — PolitiTweet.org

There has been a lot of talk about the cancer backlog following the pandemic, but less about a massive spike in demand for mental health services. As 1 in 6 of us have a mental health condition at any one time this should concern all of us -as @Saffron_Policy told @CommonsHealth https://t.co/w7Hch5kdHj — PolitiTweet.org

We know covid is an airborne infection, so the efficacy of hospital ventilation systems must now be reviewed as a matter of urgency. — PolitiTweet.org

The NHS has done us all proud over the past year but these new figures are devastating and pose challenging questions on whether the right infection controls were in place: https://t.co/D1WNRVRRDN — PolitiTweet.org
