Being saying this for years, Alie, but it's called scaremongering.
On the news this morning they said that 44 areas will be doing it, and someone said it doesn't save money as patients just go along to the next hospital.
What that person did not realise is that there are only going to be 44 areas. They all have had to put in their plans for saving, which include closing wards, and GPs reducing what they cover.
It's depressing that it came out when it did, but that was ib the plan as well. Do it all while MPs are on holiday and bothered about leadership contests, and it'll be a fait accompli when parliament is back to normal.
Next month there are junior doctors taking Hunt to court over their contract. Haven't seen much of that in the news either.
In the meantime, loads of people on gransnet say that the NHS was okay for me and my family when we last used it. So that makes it okay.
