The local campaigns to save major hospitals have been going for quite a while now. KWASH, for example, which aims to save Worthing and Southlands Hospitals — and particularly Worthing’s A&E, Intensive Care and Maternity functions — has been running for over a year.
So some may ask why it has taken until now for David Cameron to call for the protection of these massive NHS assets: BBC News.
But I think he’s right.
If he’d mentioned it when the campaigns started the media and the public would be bored and cynical. By mentioning it now, when the decisions are nigh, he’s able to gain nationwide support, raise the profile of the pillaging Mr Brown’s government is undertaking, and actually run a risk of getting the great apathetic public to be motivated for once!
…
And how can I let this go without pointing out that this isn’t happening in Scotland or Wales. Oh no! This is happening in England where a significantly smaller amount of tax is spent per person. Upset by that? Join the CEP.

Just a quick link to show the dangers of being a councillor in South Shields…a headbutt!

Nice to see someone taking an interest in Healthcare again. Patricia Hewitt has singlehandedly wasted billions of pounds on policies including destroying doctors careers through MTAS, a mammoth computer system failure, that even the designers say will never work properly, and the fit for the future programme which is fit for nothing. Well done Mr Cameron for supporting the nurses and doctors responsible for delivering healthcare to the local populations they serve, and well done for highlighting the important roles that those who are qualified (ie those directly involved in health delivery) should be overseeing rather than government quangos and out of touch government medical advisors.
