Book Synopsis
A transformative approach to public health and social care in the wake of Covid-19

Trade Review

‘A brilliant exposé of how the political left in Britain is unaware of, and can start to begin to address, the effects of ever-increasing opting-out from public health and care services by those who can’

-- Danny Dorling, Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford

'The boldest blueprint for public health since Bevan'

-- Sonia Adesara, NHS Doctor and Campaigner

'The ideas in this book are as significant and radical as the birth of the NHS, it shows a new, fairer vision for improving the health of the nation and a comprehensive plan for how to do it'

-- Shirley Cramer, former CEO of the Royal Society for Public Health

'A vital book that shows just how broken the health status quo truly is. Thomas' work will arm campaigners to demand a better, more just public health system - and to defend human life against corporate exploitation'

-- Dr Aseem Malhotra, author of 'A Statin-Free Life' and Founder of Public Health Collaboration

'A well-argued plan to bring together health, social and economic justice'

-- Andy McDonald MP

'A fantastically well written book that shows just how much public health has been neglected in the UK and the actions we need now'

-- Dr Jyotsna Vohra, Director of Policy and Public Affairs at the Royal Society for Public Health
