The reality of the bosses austerity drive:

The Royal College of Nurses (RCN), the nurses' professional body, has warned that about 60,000 frontline jobs are at risk. The cuts means that service are close to breaking point.

And for the first time since the 1970s, 100,000 doctors in the British Medical Association (the doctors' professional body), are to be ballotted on whether to take industrial action, over changes to pension entitlements.

And look at this:

The cuts in service are soooo severe, that nurses are treating patients in corridors as a matter of routine, cos there is insufficient bed capacity on the actual clinical wards.

But what can we expect. It's the bosses healthcare system, to keep a healthy workforce maintained, to keep their factories running smoothly.

No doubt the private hospitals frequented by the bourgeois are a hell of a lot better.

Bastards :star:

Why can't they just leave the NHS alone!!! What's wrong with providing universal health care and to hell with the expense? This market-style obsession with 'efficiency' and 'the bottom line'; it's not a public company it's a fucking PUBLIC SERVICE!

Simple put, they don't profit
