Well would you believe it New Labour have seen the light and are going to send more and more people to the private sector for their operations. Patricia Hewitt says £3billion will be spent on the private sector treatment over the next 5 years.

The Tories got slated for their plans to pay 50% of private ops which gave people a choice oif where to have treatment.

Now NL will pay 100% of these ops taking even more money away from the NHS.

I wonder why they didnt mention this policy two weeks ago before the election.

You sound surprised - and yet almost EVERY Labour policy for the last nine years has been stolen from the Tories. Why do you think it's all the left-wingers who are deserting Labour and going over to the Lib Dems?

No I,m not surprised at all by this. Just wanted to make a point to all the Labour suckers out there that believe all they hear.

"Patricia Hewitt says £3billion will be spent "

...and don't forget, that isn't Patricia Hewitt's money, thats our money being squandered like there is no tomorrow

Who cares? NL are still flush with the 60-odd tax rises, and the five billion a year pension theft, and the "windfall taxes", and 20-odd billion from mobile phone frequency auctions, and selling off our gold reserves at market bottom prices etc.

Just like the Tories p*ssed away all the North Sea revenue, if you like pointing fingers so much.

I see it reported today that out of £6.7 Billion spent on the NHS. 0.8 was spent on patients and the £5.9 Billion left was spent on NHS Trust staff increases and salary increases.

Must keep the bureaucracy icreasing of course-it keeps the unemployment figures down, even if we pay for it out of all those taxes etc.

wasnt that labour who sold that off to pay for the 3 million on the dole?
