NHS to benefit from 13.4 billion debt being wiped. Too little too late?

[Roostersmum2]

The NHS has been under funded and abused for years and it's so sad that it has taken something like this for the government to acknowlege how important it is that we support it.

It's a hugely positive thing of course but will this make a difference to the here and now?

Probably not but I sincerely hope the NHS, going forward, streamline and unify their processes to make things simpler. For instance, different trusts don't need different uniforms, paperwork, suppliers, etc. Surely these would be more cost-effective (and less confusing) if they were the same trust to trust. I, personally, think they should abolish the trusts and have a centralised system with regional/town offices and hospitals.

May's magical money tree in action, that she said didn't exist!

I hope tory voters can now see that's just rhetoric. Austerity combined with tax cuts on businesses and the rich for the last 10 years was completely unnecessary. In fact if they'd kept spending I suspect the economic multipliers would have had higher growth and tax revenues, with a better performance of the debt/GDP ratio (which only worsened despite the tory austerity and tax cuts anyway)
