I see that South Staffs hospital trust is in the news again, 400 to 1200 preventable deaths over several years, so what's new about this, well because of the changes that the government has brought in is decimating the NHS, they said it would be patient led, I don't think so, GP;s know what is best for us, I don't think so, reality is the service is collapsing, do not listen to our MP's who tell you all is well, well it is not, staff are leaving the sinking ship and not only because of the cuts but they can no longer stand the insecurity of the hospital they work in, the NHS did need sorting out but not to this extent, the government has demanded cut after cut this has to mean a depletion of service to the patient it has to, no amount of spin will change this, and I say this as a patient, if you are young and think you need not worry you do!!, one day you just might become ill then you will realise just how bad things have gotten to, you need to be aware now not later or it just might be too late for you and your family, to run an efficient NHS you need to provide the correct budget that can be effectively worked too, you can't cut and cut because it does not work, but then every government as soon as they get in to power mess with it, some times that can be for the good but this time it is for the worse, I worry a lot about it as I am getting on a bit and I dread to think of just what might happen to me, will all hospitals follow the South Staffs hospital Trust and fail to care for the patients???.
