NHS still in crisis
There is currently an unprecedented amount of money being pumped into the NHS, New Labour proudly boasts that it has given the NHS the biggest sustained increase in funding since it was founded. Why is it then that it still does not have enough money at the front line? Why with all this cash is there a cash crisis?
Two-thirds of acute trusts had had to close wards, the survey of 117 acute, primary care and mental health trusts in the Health Service Journal said.The NHS managers faced with the problems of running the thing know the reason for this,
The government predicts a £620m deficit in the NHS for the 2005-6 financial year, and the Royal College of Nursing says 400 nursing posts could be lost.
Seven out of 10 said the NHS would not be facing such problems if it were not for "inflexible government targets".knock me down with a feather. Micromanagement from Whitehall is crap and the government did properly cost a contract. Now that has never happened before. Not.
And 99% said NHS reforms and changes to consultants' and GPs' contracts had had a big impact as they had not been costed effectively.
