Topic: Who Is To Blame For The Local NHS Funding Crisis?

In normal times the story on this site about the black hole in the finances of the local NHS would be attracting far more attention. However, this critical issue is being ignored because of Brexit.

Listening to the Prime Minister making his very unconvincing address outside 10 Downing Street it was clear he does at least recognise the importance of the NHS to his chances of re-election. However, all the spending pledges made so far have proven to be pretty misleading with very little new money going to the service and certainly not enough to match increased demand.

However, the opposition's record on this is not much better. Large amounts of tax payers' money were spent on opposing the Shaping a Healthy Future programme. This was certainly controversial but was at least a  considered response to the challenges facing the NHS and allowed utilisation of capital assets to fund provision. It's rejection has resulted in drift for the local service with more money having to be spent on maintaining aging facilities which are no longer appropriate for the needs of the service.
