NHS

The NHS is in turmoil, service to patients is now seemingly on a financial best interest, does the patient have enough of a life left for it to be of value to save them, many hospitals were the product of the PFI, pet of Blair and Brown, to say they got it wrong would be an understatement, my local hospital pays approximately £3 million a month rent, how can a Trust possibly budget for this vast amount of money, this is money that could and should be spent of patient care, but then if you invest in the pension company who own it, they would say it is value for money, but what about the treatment of the patients??, staff are not likely to join a hospital that has massive debts especially if they are looking for promotion, I see the way forward is to cut the qualified nursing staffing, increase the level of care assistants, after all they seem to be the only people on the ward who get their hands dirty, Qualified Nurses now have a degree so they seem to think that they are exempt from doing the dirty work, I ought to make a comment here Nursing is a caring profession it is not a post where you can sit about making out you are busy, to make things very clear I am not talking about the older nurse who received her/his training on the ward, it is time for the NHS to sort things out before  it sinks into the mire unfortunately it has one foot in it already.
