No the money has gone to the "frontline" so to speak, on salary increases.
Doctors and Nurses in the UK are the highest paid in the world, except for
the US.
So its hardly surprising the problems in the NHS haven't changed.
The main difference can be seen in the car parks where you'll find Doctors driving swish limousines, and in the tea room nurses will be discussing property values, second homes etc.

Plus the ability of the NHS to waste and not record money spent is amazing.
How many beds did you buy last year? Dunno!
What price do you pay for these types of pacemaker? Dunno!
Well how much did you spend overall last year? About £10 million.
Have you got records for that? Dunno!
Imagine the response if we were like that with the Inland Revenue and our expenses.

Think of all the invaluable work all those bureaucrats do micro-managing every breath doctors and nurses make. Then there's all the state of the art PCs, shiny oak meeting tables for them and all the brand spanking new offices to host them. And enormous HR resources for them to spend millions on agency nurses.
Not to mention how ever much of it was spent on NHS IT systems.

Are you saying the government has been lying when they said they were increasing spending on health care?

NHS cash crisis 'to hit patient care'
NHS cash crisis 'to hit patient care'
One in four of all trusts said they had made staff redundant, while 75% had brought in recruitment freezes.
In October 2005 the Royal College of Nursing predicted that NHS deficits would hit £1 billion with up to three-thousand NHS posts lost.
"These predictions were dismissed by the government, yet we are now seeing a situation that is deteriorating. We have real concerns about the stability of NHS finances, especially in view of the roll-out of reforms such as Patient Choice and Payment by Results."Tags: None
