Hospital Closures , Financial Chaos & Lies

The BBC reports today 'future of 10 hospitals around the UK 'in doubt' and also confirms that in Surrey and Sussex five focus groups have been established to discuss the future of the 15 hospitals run by nine NHS trusts in this area and that formal consultation is to start in the autumn.

We can see from the newly formed NHS South East Coast formed on 21 July 2006 but still dithering over creating its website that this consultation process is likely to be every bit as fraudulent and its outcome just as predetermined as the one carried out by the Surrey & Borders NHS Partnership Trust over the so-called ' modernisation ' of its 'work services'.

What's the priority for the new NHS South Coast Strategic Health Authority?

Why the launching of the NHS South East Coast Best of Health Awards 2006 of course. No doubt these will reward those responsible for the financial mismanagement in the region and champion the cause of professional incompetence and abysmal to non-existent service delivery the people of the Surrey & Borders area know so well.

Perhaps Surrey & Borders Manager Peter Kinsey will get an award for duping the Old Moat Garden Centre workers out of their £3 payments freeing this money up to be spent on the salaries of bloating dead weight management , the professional parasites and liggers who seem to be employed by the NHS to re-route money away from front line services, waste its resources and run the whole system into the ground.

So there you have it , financial mismanagement and closures abound and we get more ' crap about ' Values & Visions , self-congratulatory speeches and awards and of course the de rigeur light refreshments and balloons.
