The NHS is in crisis. But is it failing—or being failed?
In this explosive episode of NHS Talk, Dr. Bob Gill dissects two of the most controversial healthcare policies in the UK right now: Pharmacy First and the Plan B initiative.
He also unpacks with host John Homer the recent LBC feature with Caroline Flint (former President of the Royal College of Midwives), exposing why the media narrative often misses the root cause of the NHS crisis.

✅ Why Pharmacy First is more dangerous than it sounds – and how it puts profits before patient safety
✅ What "Plan B" really means – and why it could spell the end of free GP care
✅ How the 2012 Health Act legally dismantled the NHS – and why nobody is talking about it
✅ The truth about GP unemployment, corporate takeovers, and the loss of continuity of care
