"There was a short time when this cake was not current because Serco gave up its NHS contracts due to 'reputational damage', following being fined for faking its figures. Ha! That didn't last long."

"It’s immoral to make money out of health care!"

"My message to Boris. Not up to my usual standard of cake decorating but says it all."

"I am posting these pictures as a protest to slicing up Our NHS like a cake. 5 members of my family have had their lives saved from various cancers and pancreatitis. Who at the time of illness would not have survived if we had to pay or rely on insurance’s which we could not afford. But all have gone onto work and contribute to national economy...

Please Stop Cutting Up and Selling Off Parts Of the NHS

Reinstate our NHS and fund it properly!!"

"Please don't sell off parts of the NHS."

"I am the same age as the NHS. I am horrified at the huge slice of our money that goes to private companies and therefore to shareholders‘ dividends. SERCO doing contact tracing is particularly worrying given their terrible track record including falsifying data in a previous contract. Keep our NHS for people not profit!"

"Here's my banana and date cake. Because it's bananas to hack up OUR NHS! And the date to do something positive is NOW!

Much love for the NHS and fingers crossed they pay due attention to the feeling in the country. It's ours and if we weren't proud of it before Coronavirus we certainly are now. We need to preserve this amazing institution."

"The slice cut out represents the privatisation by the government which they promised would not happen! We were promised massive extra funds to support your amazing work with many more nurses doctors and resources.

We cannot afford any more destruction to the NHS!"

"Happy Birthday NHS from Stockport NHS Watch"

"I’m in the Islington Keep Our NHS Public group. Here’s my lemon drizzle cake, which I’m bringing to my GP’s surgery today."

Rachel Hopkins MP: "In solidarity with the NHS and to say ‘hands off’ to privatisation I made this cake and shared it in Parliament (socially distanced!) with fellow Labour MPs: Paula Barker, Nav Mishra and Mick Whitley."

"Stop Giving Private Companies A Slice Of Our NHS!"

"A plate of gluten-free cakes to symbolise the lack of gluten-free items available on prescription for many areas of the UK due to lack of funding. Where I live we get no items on prescription, not even for children. Happy birthday NHS, and here’s hoping for many more, and better!"

"Ready for afternoon tea."

"My birthday cake for hope for the future. No more privatisation NH$ NO!"

"My matcha and lemon cake to represent our NHS. Like our NHS, these ingredients are highly regarded and beneficial for us. There's only a slice left, because this is what the future will know, just a taste of our strong NHS. It disappears by underfunding and parts of it being run by incompetent businesses. Unless we fix this situation, this is the best the future can hope for. A much needed but small and unsustainable National Health Service, unavailable for many."

"We had a brilliant socially distanced birthday celebration for our NHS today. We discussed what the NHS needs for its birthday- full funding and an end to privatisation."
