Reviews

‘Brilliant. Everyone who cares about the NHS should read this brilliant book’ – Peter Stefanovic
‘If you’re a campaigner for the NHS, this new book, Critical, is a must-read. And if you’re not a campaigner for the NHS, this new book, Critical, is a must-read. Be informed; be angry; fight.’ – Dominic Minghella
‘A fantastic read for anyone interested in what’s happening to our NHS’ – Jemma Forte
‘Recommended reading. Angry but not shouty, terrifically researched and written’ – Russ Jones
‘An incredibly important book about the demise of our NHS and what we must do to reverse the damage that’s being done to it. A sobering and important read. I can highly recommend it’ – Kit Yates
‘Exceptional … a must read’ – Grace Blakeley
‘Critical is a superb, concise, yet informative and passionate piece of work. It neatly outlines just why politicians and successive governments have vandalised and decimated our NHS. However, more importantly, it shows the reader that there is another way – and that there is also something still left to fight for.’ Canary
‘Julia Grace Patterson has written a book reminding us just why we need a well-funded, state-run NHS of the sort neither major political party in the UK now supports. She's right.’ Richard Murphy
