If any proof was needed of the utterly wasteful nature of Labour's tax-and-spend policies, one only had to glance at the job supplement The Argus last Thursday. Here is a sample of some of the curious jobs advertised by the health service:

Communications manager;

Communications officer;

European computer driver licence trainers and coordinators;

Head of education;

Network service improvement lead manager;

Network service improvement facilitators;

Systems developer;

Innumerable clerical and secretarial staff; and, finally, East Sussex five-a-day coordinator (some lucky person is going to be paid £26,000 a year to tell us to eat more greens).

Cannot Tony Blair and his inept government understand we want our money to be spent on additional nurses and doctors? What we are getting instead are more bureaucrats than hospital beds.
