1624126042125307922 | @JaneRockHouse @Rebeccasmt @uhbtrust UHB’s victims-whether staff, former staff or patients-do not require vindication. The question is when will trust leaders @uhbtrust be held to account for the undoubted damage that they have caused all of them? @r1chardf1tzg3r1 @PreetKGillMP @Lurvelydays @manosnikolousis | 4 |
1624126523224559630 | @Rebeccasmt @NHSEngland This is not surprising, Rebecca, because chief legal officer , David Burbridge, is part of that same executive, and member of Good Governance Institute! Investigators will only have seen what UHB allowed them to see. A bit like FPPR into CEO!! | 4 |

1625791268801445888 | @Rebeccasmt Why isn’t the headline Government’s failure to negotiate with unions on pay settlement forces thousands to wait 18 months for surgery? | 35 |
1626606690496831489 | @bmj_latest @DanLasserson Virtual wards piece with @UKHaHSoc President @danlasserson. "Virtual wards must not distract from the urgent need for long term workforce, clinical, and capacity plans". @lizrob92 @ShaunLintern @katlay @expressgilo @rebeccasmt @RSylvesterTimes | 21 |

1625838449881219073 | Very disappointed in @Independent and @Rebeccasmt who I have spoken to and rated previously. Strikes are about retaining and recruiting workforce to do this work that is already hugely delayed from 12 years of underfunding. This headline (no matter the content) is irresponsible https://t.co/YErYgaZsTM | 17 |
1626290494471917568 | 🚨 "Watchdogs issue safety warnings after junior doctors left unsupervised on maternity wards" @Rebeccasmt https://t.co/FYcrfpOIpC | 15 |
1625793530391134209 | @Rebeccasmt People don’t read the story as you well know. I have read the story for what it’s worth and I don’t think that distinction is made as clearly as you think it is. | 15 |

1625808924245884928 | @Rebeccasmt It's not strikes that caused backlogs for #NHS care! >7 million ppl were waiting for care before any strikes took place. It's 12 yrs of poor stewardship of NHS by Tory Govt, historic underfunding, failure to plan/support NHS workforce & diversion of public £££ to private corps | 14 |
1625811114125582338 | @Rebeccasmt Very poor headline. Something I'd expect from the Telegraph. Really disappointed, always considered the Independent a good source of factual reporting. Sad times. | 14 |
