A flurry of spokesmen on the T.V and radio – including a
highly paid man-in-a-suit from ‘The Foundation Trust network’ which I haven’t
come across before. Why?
The patients, Doctors and Nurses of Lewisham Hospital won
their case at the High Court; the health minister was wrong in the way he made
his decision to close the A and E and maternity departments.
This was because the next door trust had been bankrupted by a
Private Finance Initiative loan. That ‘can’t’ be changed, so the plan was that
the bankrupt trust should take over the efficient, well-loved trust next door,
to balance the books.
‘Irrational’ said the court. Don’t hold your breath, the
government will appeal, the spokesmen are softening us up, at the taxpayers expense.
If the appeal fails? They will change the law and that’s why
the creep from ‘The Foundation trust network’ has appeared.
Instead, we should nationalise the PFI loans and finish this
exploitation off, once and for all.
This morning, spokesmen were telling us how good it is to
close hospitals – this is NHS England it will be the ‘legacy’ of Sir David
Nicholson. He knows a thing or two about the subject. Mid Staffordshire
hospital Trust is to be broken up – departments closed, patients travelling
miles, jobs lost. The debts? Transferred to the next trust.
The victims in this case the patients, are paying the price.
Meanwhile ex-nurse Tracey White, last week struck off the
Nursing register due to her appalling behaviour and treatment of patients and
staff at A and E at Stafford Hospital – she is now a manager at the hospital.
No doubt looking forward to a nice fat redundancy cheque when it cuts back.
