Taxpayer is getting ripped-off over NHS
THERE is plenty of money for the NHS; there must be. We are told that there is a shortage of doctors. Yet in the last month, I have experienced doctors from down south working in my own hospital up north for a few months (on and off).
Is this a case that the south is flushed with doctors? No, from speaking to the doctors I can only presume that they can claim more per shift.
Again the taxpayer is getting ripped off, through circumstance that benefits the pocket of many.
With this occurring; bureaucracy (creating jobs for the boys) bleeding dry finances, frontline services being asked to cut back, the department of health should hang their heads in shame for years of mismanagement of the NHS.
Sir Robert Francis’s report into support for whistleblowers seems to be yet another government sham; waste of taxpayers’ money. What chance has any NHS employee of feeling confident about whistleblowing; we see time and time again when they speak out to the media their identity is hidden and voices disguised because of fear of consequence.
Mid-Staff’s enquiry, Statement of Common Purpose, Patient First and Foremost, Keogh enquiry, Berwick report, are just a few things that become meaningless when we hear of things continuing down the same path year on year; wasting taxpayers’ money.
I have followed the Care Together, Integrated Health care model that is being rolled out in the Manchester area. Again, it seems to be another ‘cash cow’ with even more bureaucracy. Local Health Campaigner
