[the truth]

[QUOTE=Jamesy;7817358]I'm against their plans for the human rights act although they need to debate it a lot before anything can be done. A lot of people in the conservative party oppose the idea of scrapping it for a new rights bill so I doubt that will get that far with it for now.

Also a "truly seven day" NHS sounds all good on paper although it mainly involves stretching current NHS resources which are already stretched to breaking point so really I'm against that until they start taking real action to expand resources and invest heavily into the NHS (I know they say they will invest more but I'll believe that when I see it). - They've committed to 8 billion increase. But the majority of savings will be made in slashing middle management jobs and getting millions more people scanned out of hours and weekends which should save billions on the back end from saving months of bed blocking, unnecessary pills and anti biotics and freeing up staff time..oh and getting more scanned far sooner will save far more lives (which also gets people back to work paying taxes etc)



Although I can see more cuts, money being placed where it isn't needed to give the illusion to the public they're investing in the NHS, and some more backdoor privatization under peoples noses. - I don't think theyre that devious. the money will be channelled to the front line cutting the endless middle management..also in merging the trusts care with the social services care that alone will save money and time for elderly patientsThe limit on house benefit is good too. £26k a year was ridiculous in the first place, glad they've lowered it somewhat. - totally agreed on that. frankly £23000 is still way way too high...why should anyone get 23000 just for sitting on there backsides ..what a disgusting example to their kids too
