It's not rocket science!
The only thing I will say in defence of the the Government is that it must be hell to manage the NHS, and many senior people in the NHS have to take responsibility for being so self-serving and pig headed. What else can a government do but wield the biggest stick it has?
I would like to know where we will get the money for all the extras like VAT etc. After all, we keep being told that the surplus will be ours, unlike in the public sector. Woopee. I seem to remember surplus being a rare thing and with the 20 billion savings I cant imagine there will be that much. Perhaps they will reduce the use of bandages or dump one or two of our dept's out to the private sector like in Hull.
Still, at least we got to vote for the new logo. And at least the TUPE will protect us for a few weeks.
