DAVID CAMER CAMER CAMER CHAMELEON
A few short months ago, Conservatives roundly criticised the government fo 'throwing money' at the NHS without reforming the system. Cameron has now reversed his view, saying that the NHS is suffering from too much reform too quickly, and that the govt.should not try to control everything from Whitehall, but leave it to doctors and nurses to run the profession.
Strange then that they are also demanding the resignation of the Home Secretary for not having sufficient control of the Prison Service, and their failure to deport foreign criminals as they should have done.
Seems this government are damned if they do exercise control, and damned if they don't.
There are 84 Health Authorities, and only 11 of them have financial deficits. Those deficits are not new, but have built up over many years, and the government now say that they are not giving huge increases in funding only to see that money wasted on paying debt interest charges. That is common sense. If that means that a few of the extra 88,000 nurses and 55,000 doctors have to be cut back by 7.000, that is just tough, and is the fault of those few Health Authorities who mis-spent their money in the past few years.
As a person, or as an organisation, if, despite large increases in your income, you continue to spend more than you get, well, cutbacks have to be made, it stands to reason
