The post you are reporting:
The NHS still on the news and like barryw says its unlikely o be radically changed by any government.
I share MAREK'S view on the creeping privatisation, and being the wrong way forward together with having to say iv used the NHS over the years both for my family and friends and had first class service.
That's not to say things cannot be improved, and the top heavy managers is maybe a way forward, and look at what is being offered, and how you deliver it.
to give you an insight into privatised world.
when visiting a hospital with patients suffering from serious illness's the food came round from the PRIVATE caterers.
they went around the ward, the meal included meat that needed cutting, when they got the last few tables they ran out of knives!!!!!!
so last few tables didn't get one!!! i did say, thayt geezer needs a knife to cut his meat, reply was "sorry we nowt to do with hospital so nothing i can do"
having asked if they could borrow some knives from the hospital.
this creeping privatisation usually means cutting corners, and this is just one very small example of how it DOESN'T work.
there is no doubt the NHS needs to return to the days of the matron, where everyone knew who was in charge, that would be a good start,
