I think you have it spot on with your assessment.....but Mancie sees it a different way if you are against Labour then you must be a tory....after all what other option is there?
No recent governments have had the
cojones to tackle the things that need fixing in the NHS. All that the political parties have done, is issue sound bites(Google Page Ranking stuff....and Google Page Ranking in nursing means per rectum - how right that has been) and targets and tinkered around the edges of the NHS.
In some situations this has not only
not helped, it has actually
hindered progress.
The changes have demoralised front line staff, caused patients to lose confidence in what is happening, alienating them from the people who are there to help them.
I agree wholeheartedly that we should never ever let politicians meddle with how the NHS is run. They can't run the country, so why should we think they could do better with the NHS?
