National Health Service

[pkjazzman]

With all the fuss about tax dodging, I would like to think that all your members have an ongoing concern that the health service we have all relied on will still be their for our children and granchildren. However parts of the service have alreadt been handed to companies using tax havens. When Nye Bevan began the NHS in 1948, his ideals were that no-one make a profit from other's suffering, that every patient be treated as you would your mother or child and every penny spent as if it were your own money! Now we have handed Surrey community health [£600m] to virgin care, Suffolk and two midlands NHS operations to Serco etc etc You may recall that the Cornish out of hours service [in a very inaccessible county[was left with one GP over bank holiday w/e, this is run by Serco! Also as private companies they are not subject to freedon of information act enquiries or permit whistle blowers.I ask you to petition this uncaring govt. to not award contacts to companies using tax havens! If you care for the future health of your family please take action now.

Hi again, I have started an online petition at change.org be the first to sign and show you care Pxx

I think this is just another sign of the general decline of caring in society. This has been going on a long time now Basically the NHS is a public service and the public are therefore responsible. It means people are not really that bothered or else they would do something about it.
Before you talk about the Nhs start on your own doorstep : with your own family, neighbours etc If you keep leaving it to the NHS etc all that will happen is that the money will run out people need to be more proactive themsleves instead of relying on these things
