Some cliches are true.

And I am by no means blaming Labour for everything. The Tories introduced PFI's, all I'm saying is that Labour turned it into a multi-billion pound business.

And you must have been living under a rock if you think Labour are blameless in the corporate management-consultant rape of the NHS. Labour were positively evangelical in their promotion of this toxic, bureaucratic environment which obsesses over targets at the expense of patients. For all the rises in NHS budgets that took place under the previous government, the rise in the employment of nurses and doctors has been negligable compared to the astronomical rise in admin and management positions. Meanwhile every whistleblower concerned for patients who are left to die will be putting their career in jeopardy.

However little you might like to hear it, it is Labour who are responsible for this culture of secrecy, bullying, overpaid senior staff and underhand PRIVATISATION in the NHS.
