With NHS outsourcing and an eye to profiteering at the expense of people's ill health how much worse will life be?

The really sad thing is if some one had found a pet which had been hacked to death by a vandal or if we were debating hunting with hounds, or religion, or the AV issue, or immigration or libraries and car parks then there could be up to 200 postings.

But talking about the NHS seems to be a turnoff.

Have you been to or in a hospital recently? Have you been snapped at by bad tempered staff? Is it true that staff will not care for you if the function is not in their job description? Has any body seen a job description? Do any of the staff read your file at the end of your bed? Have you had to wait for ages to be assisted to the WC? How many beds get soiled? Who turns you and how often? Have you eaten their overcooked tepid food? Have you heard the groans of patients at night in a general ward when only a couple of staff are on duty? Have you been a victim of not been given drinking water which we read about? Why does your half filled glass of water get taken away and then a new jug of water appears so much later? Have you waited ages for a hospital appointment only to have it deferred yet again? The list is endless.

Apart from again enjoying the satire of Beyond the Fringe etc,the most interesting comment for me on a programme about Amnesty last night was that our culture has changed so much. Young people are worried to bits about how they can afford to make ends meet. People are so consumed by their careers that they have neither the will nor the energy to pursue the big issues of the day. The will to fight for causes has diminished so greatly that the actions we saw in the 1960’s and 1970’s seem like a black and white film about the eccentricities of a former and forgotten age.

Did we really have so much more time on our hands 50 years ago that we could campaign and get change implemented? Is today’s “progress” implemented by young senior managers actually a retreat from decent moral standards?
