NHS Trust faces dissolving.


With massive debts of an astonishing £69 million – caused by the negligent use of money to provide healthcare – a NHS trust in Sarf London faces the axe.  Unlike banks who can totally fuck up the country with a click on a software update, fiscally challenged hospitals are targets for the chop. RBS, the nation's bank, paid  bonuses of an estimated £390 million last Chrimbo – over five times the debt of the South London healthcare trust.  Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley wrote to the trust: "A central objective for all providers is to ensure they deliver high-quality services to patients that are clinically and financially sustainable for the long term.” I pay my taxes and National Insurance and effectively employ both Lansley and health administrators and I have never agreed to that so called central objective. Furthermore, it cannot be one objective with those two opposing criterions. If banks were judged in the same manner the RBS should have been uninstalled but they were bailed out by the government and continue to be so. RBS, the bank that likes to say ‘Sorry’, lost £2 billion in 2011 and £1.1 billion in 2010.
