NHS Budget - The Truth
I said here that I didn't believe the information that we were being told about hte NHS balancing its budget. I was right, it was a fiddle.
Apparently Ms Hewitt kindly withheld about £2b worth of funding from NHS Trusts at the beginning of the last FY, this was money that was supposed to fund growth and training. This money was then thrown back into the sums for the NHS at the end of the year to show they were balanced. In truth it seems our PCTs were overspent by about £900m.
The worst part of this is, whilst hospitals were fighting off closure, nurses were being made redundant and NHS staff were being left untrained, Patricia Hewitt held on to £2b just so she could look good at the end of the year.
Aside from lying to send troops to their death, this is arguably the worst bit of Government deceit ever. I wonder how many people died as a result of this?

About This Site
For more than 12 years I have actively tried, in vain, to access a service from the NHS for my psychiatric problems. I have had psychiatric problems since early childhood but didn't actively seek help until my mid 30's. I have come up against a mountain of rejection, ignorance and indifference all of it protected by spin. We live in a spin culture but spin is not a new thing. In ancient Greece a sophist (the opposite of philosophers) could earn a living with clever but fallacious arguments. A philosopher will try to seek the truth a sophist will not. A Greek sophist was an ancient spin doctor.

I have recently considered a career within the NHS, however recently i have began to look beyond the spin and realised that perhaps my career could be put into more honest hands...
