My local NHS trust is £28,000,000 in the red, Patricia Hewitt is trying to close my local hospital down and the trust to which it belongs recently announced 500 job cuts.

...and they are still trying to push through planning permission to build a new £2,000,000 treatment centre that backs onto my property?

The people at the sharp end in the hospitals do a marvellous job for the patients. They are the main ones of course who are treatened with the loss of their jobs.

Get rid of the highly expensive PCT's who really cream the money off with enormous salaries and let the experienced medical staff run the hospitals like they used to. Throw the target driven system away and start trusting the people who work there instead for a change. They already show how important their jobs are to them for the right reasons.

I just re-read Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy last night - our heros are about to be blasted to death by cops when the cops suddenly die. Their ship-controlled life support system had shut down, as Marvin the Paranoid Android had decided to tell the cops' ship computer about his life problems - and the computer committed suicide!

The problem with the NHS is all of the PFIs that hae been put in over the last 10 years. The government/taxpayer didn't have to put in (so) much of the capital investment, but it now means the NHS is being crippled by interest payments for these finance schemes.
On top of that, the government mis-calculated how much the pay rises for doctors and nurses were actually going to cost them. By about £300m a year.

Absolute classic NHS short-termism. Our Health Board has now realised that the annual capital charges are lower than the rental payments on PFIs and are looking to minimise PFI investments as a result

They also just had to sell off a hugely valuable area of land to pay off a cumulative deficit.

At least it means my job should be safe for another year
