When your readers see NHS trusts are in financial crisis, they must be very puzzled.
If expenditure on the NHS has doubled since 1997, why is it so debt-ridden?
Management and administrative costs are soaring. The NHS is now run under a "payment by results" scheme. Funds which should be spent on frontline services
are being diverted to creating thousands of contracts and paying auditors and accountants.
People want good healthcare services, not red tape. The Government should listen before marching us towards a US-style healthcare system. You can't run our NHS like a supermarket.
