More Money For The Nhs?

Why ?
Perhaps its to give this shower more ?

The NHS needs a big clear out. It needs to be run by businessmen who can run a company, not this shower.
I wonder how they will explain this to all the poorly paid medical staff they kept on a pay freeze. This is like a return to 70's management.

Where did this potty idea of running the NHS Trusts like private businesses (with private business salaries to match) come from?
// In the 1980s modern management processes (General Management) were introduced in the NHS to replace the previous system of consensus management. This was outlined in the Griffiths Report of 1983.[16] This recommended the appointment of general managers in the NHS with whom responsibility should lie. The report also recommended that clinicians be better involved in management. Financial pressures continued to place strain on the NHS. In 1987, an additional £101 million was provided by the government to the NHS. In 1988 the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, announced a review of the NHS. From this review and in 1989, two white papers Working for Patients and Caring for People were produced. These outlined the introduction of what was termed the "internal market", which was to shape the structure and organisation of health services for most of the next decade. In spite of intensive opposition from the BMA, who wanted a pilot study or the reforms in one region, the internal market was introduced.
In 1990, the National Health Service & Community Care Act (in England) defined this "internal market", whereby Health Authorities ceased to run hospitals but "purchased" care from their own or other authorities' hospitals. Certain GPs became "fund holders" and were able to purchase care for their patients. The "providers" became NHS trusts, which encouraged competition but also increased local differences. //

// they have installed their useless lefty mates in there. //
Not sure the NHS is run by the left. Last time I looked the Department of Health was run by the Coalition Government. Local Trusts tend to be biased toward the local authority, which of course are not predominently Labour run.
It is pointless whinging about the situation we have without acknowledging who set up the sorry mess in the first place.
