This really creases me up. All the nonsense about the NHS being underfunded and starved of income is down to the pseudo-market for services that Cameron's changes brought in. If removing that market and pushing the Trusts back towards using their combined market presence to get better deals then bring it on. And if that includes using private service providers for filling the gaps that will occur given our ageing population, then that's a good thing as long as the costs are not passed on to the patients.

The money and resources are there, it just needs someone to kick the collective management up their behinds and ensure they are using it properly.

Could we start with '''Marbella man''' advisor leaves struggling Welsh health board - BBC News please?

Interesting that the Torys are supposed to want a free market. But in reality they set up where their cronies are the winners.

Wales is run by Labour - well, I say "run", the direction is generally downward.

Its a great shame. The Welsh are fabulous people. Run by idiots. Please don't tell any of the Welsh posters I said that - I have a reputation to keep up.
