Not the most exciting
of days – I spent Sunday afternoon researching ‘The NHS Confederation’, for an
article I’m writing.
Whenever there is a
proposal to close a Hospital department, shut a much loved Hospital or merge
Hospitals with all the closures and disruption that brings, whenever there is a
public campaign against that decision or the staff protest or there is a
Judicial action to halt it because the decision was taken illegally – then you
will hear from an NHS Confederation spokesperson.
Sleek and well paid,
they represent the employers; principally the NHS Foundation Trusts that have
been given a degree of financial independence and stand to gain from the
bankruptcy of their neighbouring trusts.
Invariably, they argue
how beneficial the closure/merger is, how it is the ‘only’ alternative.
I’ll be doing an
exposé of where the money is coming from, who pays and ultimately what is the
motivation behind this prosperous organisation. As well as the sinister plans
they have to change the NHS by avoiding the scrutiny of the democratic process.
So, I’m going to tell
it like it is.
