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.
