I wish to Congratulate the Liberal Party on drawing attention to the difficulties of the Government Partnership agreements on health.I would like to register my grave concerns regards the new hospital league tables.What if anything do they reflect Portsmouth in the past was an innovative authority for example it was the first and leading service to encourage mature women into nursing.More lately the loss of its nurse training school at Portsmouth University was no doubt a major blow. Further Portsmouth has some of the worse housing stock in the uk all these factors would contribute to specific local problems not reflected in the league tables. What is the point of this public shame? Could it be an excuse to encourage the privatisation.
The idea of super hospitals yet even further spin. The 1999 Commons Health Select committee revealed major faults in private care hence the National Care Standards Committee but even then the regulations will not be in force till 2002 april. Critics such Justin Keen an academic of the Kings fund have argued that the fundamental questions of responsibility and accountability have not been dealt with. People may recall the Wessex computer health fraud £20 Million for example.
By introducing further fudge the government continues to weaken a frail NHS.
