No Hope Service

Crisis? What crisis? As the NHS lays off more staff, it becomes clear that there has been massive and profligate overspending on salaries and it is even more apparent that nobody in Government has the faintest idea what's going on Patricia Hewitt declares this as the "best ever" year in the history of the NHS. Who is she kidding? I know it is textbook Labour territory to "make it so" by "pretending it's so", I know that many will believe the woman too but surely, now, after all we've seen from this Government people can see this for the ridiculous fatuous blather that it really is? The Government is meant to have come up with new structures for better and more efficient health provision. Those structures are creaking at the seams as they clearly don't have the capacity to exert sufficient restraint on PCTs without ministerial intervention. Whose fault is that? Labour really should pay heavily for this.
