Probably not!

But they will change it so that private companies can make a lot of money!
Please elaborate were they will make these changes, always remembering that I've been treated by the NHS a hell of a site more than I would have like over the last 30 years, and but for those doctors, who you seem to think don't know what they are doing, I wouldn't have been here today. There are changes needed, we might start by removing the army of pen pushers who are now employed, a ratio of 1000 clinicians to 998 pen pushers, you tell me where else in the world would this be deemed acceptable to run any successful type of service, its a recipe for disaster. The last time I was in hospital in 2009, on admittance to the ward the sister sent around half an hour filling out a questionnaire about me, which ranged from if I could make a cuppa to did I wear a watch. When I ask what the reason for this "new" idea, she just shrugged her shoulders and said, suppose it keeps somebody busy down London
