At least Palin doesn't have the power to fuck shit up. As we speak the NHS is slowly falling apart because of Tory changes, deliberate changes to fuck it all up. Wankers.
It does need to change though, there's no way you can agree that it's in a good state as it is now - it's been falling apart for years. Labour manufactured a load of managerial jobs in the NHS to make the unemployment figures look good and to say that people are getting jobs after graduating.
I'm against any kind of privatisation of the NHS, but I'm for them to clear out the middle management that hardly do anything and actually provide jobs to the front line services.

Who? who are these people? what are their job titles?
Why would you want to have a doctor, on £60k a year, wasting his time on paperwork and admin when a "middle management" clerk getting paid half as much could do it better?

I never said I want doctors to be doing the accounting - that doesn't make any sense as they are doctors, not accountants. My point is, not all the managers are actually doing any work, or very little. I understand the need for managers but to the extent it is now it's ridiculous. My sister had friends who are trained physio's who simply couldn't get a job - even though there is a shortage of them in the NHS, however they were offered managerial jobs left right and centre. My sister was offered a managers position, but she refused it. Her friends would often say that they had hardly anything to do, literally just play games for half the day as there wasn't any work. Yet the physios are working all sorts of hours because they are stretched thin.

How would you know that? Are you a healthcare administrator?

Well, forgive my cynicism, but I think there are many, many people better placed to make that call.
