And Labour would have handled it much more efficiently wouldn't they.
The only thing the Government can be accused of as far as the NHS is concerned is just ploughing money in and not getting back efficiencies through firing useless staff and management.

I really dont see how any Government can be responsible for individual actions like this. Are you suggesting MP's and Ministers should inspect every NHS property weekly?
this company are one of five engaged via a framework supply contract dating from 2016.

turns out this company are incompetent. either they lied in their tender, or someone higher up the food chain didn't do the necessary due diligence.
Are you sure it was the Tories.

^^^That is hilarious.

Don't see any mention of privatisation in your link
Is there a lack of suitable incinerators or not ? If there is then anyone would have had issues, but should have raised them with their MP, IMO. If there isn't then what's the real reason for the backlog ?
Yes some absolute mindless cretins would still vote for Jeremy Corbyn and his ilk who would take this country back to the socialist utopia of the 1970's to the winter of discontent where the dead were left unburied. This is what actually happened: The Gravediggers strike of 1979- A notorious industrial action during the winterwas the strike by gravediggers, members of the GMWU in Liverpool and in Tameside near Manchester. Eighty gravediggers being on strike, Liverpool City Council hired a factory in Speke to store the corpses until they could be buried. The Department of Environment noted that there were 150 bodies stored at the factory at one point, with 25 more added every day. The reports of unburied bodies caused concern with the public. On 1 February a persistent journalist asked the Medical Officer of Health for Liverpool, Dr Duncan Bolton, what would be done if the strike continued for months, Bolton speculated that burial at sea would be considered! Other alternatives were considered, including allowing the bereaved to dig their own funeral's graves, deploying troops, and engaging private contractors to inter the bodies. The main concerns were said to be aesthetic because bodies could be safely stored in heat-sealed bags for up to six weeks. GOOD OLD LABOUR! Hahahahahahaha.
Surely this is a co tractor problem and not. Government one.
Anyone who, like Spungle and I, can remember the 1970s would never, ever vote for a similar (or even worse) Labour government - which is what Corbyn is offering. How many can remember notices in the local newspapers as to when your area would have its electricity cut off? MrJ2, living in the South, can't - but I can. You had to plan when to do your washing. When the Tories were in power, shortages were mainly caused by T.U. action (they sometimes had my sympathy as to their cause, but a lot of it was the exercise of power and greed). I may be a bit vague as to details and years, but I do remember the unburied corpses and the mountains of rubbish in the streets. It was a cold Winter, too. We had an oil-lamp.
Spungle, i remember it well..ahh the socialist did well, erm not
all the strikes, companies factories going bust.cus we is on strike m8
Tony Blurgh was prime minister when the government sold off the whole of HMRC estate for peanuts. They struck up a crappy deal that has resulted in some of the country’s most beautiful historic buildings falling into disgusting state of repair. Wonder private initiative
top item on BBC news tonight. just wondered - is there a connection between this issue and the recent launch of "meal in a bottle", Soylent?
