What other things Cashy?
GP services?
These were shot to pieces by the last labour government who gave the GP's new contracts which allowed them to opt out of provision of out of hours services.
This has been disastrous for patients, has led to the pressure on the Accident and Emergency departments.
Out of hours services were provided by expensive commercial companies....who had no commitment to patients well being.
The other issue which concerned me greatly while I was still working was the introduction of PFI.
Balfour Beattie were responsible for building the new part of the RBH......this was done to make the community feel that they were getting a spanking new facility.
What wasn't explained was that the hospital would be shackled into a huge debt.....that all work needed in the hospital would only be done by Balfour Beattie at premium charges rather than the 'in house'plumbers, electricians, engineers.
I was told recently that it cost something like £250 for a light bulb to be changed by Balfour Beattie.
This is a huge cost which could have been better spent employing nurses and people to care for those who need looking after.
Labour did this to the NHS.....so be under no illusion that the NHS would be any safer in their hands.
Also the articles that you cited are Labour biased newspapers....so they are not going to be complimentary in any way about anything that government by anyone other than Labour are doing.
