MVNHS©: "We could tell you, but then..."

“NHS chiefs are trying to keep plans to cut hospital services in England secret … Managers were even told how to reject freedom of information requests“

Of course, now this particular cat’s out of the bag, so it’ll be interesting to see how successful MVNHS© bureauweenies will be in fighting off those FOI requests. And just what are they trying to cover up?

Well, according to leaked information, the cuts include the closure of at least one hospital in London, maternity and stroke services country-wide, and the forced merger of four hospitals in Merseyside, to name a few.

There are actually quite a few services and facilities on the chopping block, which is interesting because we’ve been told that nationalized health care schemes deliver better care than ours at a fraction of the cost, effectively bending the cost curve down.

How’s that working out for the Much Vaunted National Health System©?
