One of the biggest failure factors was PFI Private Financial Initiative.., this meant that a company could take over an old hospital, renovate it, install new equipment, turn it into a centre of excellence for a set period say 10 years.. Once the 10 years were up and property values had soared, these prime sites were sold off for profit, leaving a vast void in services..

The Unions didsay this would happen, but in the short term no one listened so it was too little too late.

When I travel abroad, I have travel insurance including medical cover.. I expect to pay an upfront fee and then claim off my policy.. but its not like that in the uk and we cannot keep paying out if not enough people are paying National Health Insurance contributions..

im gratful for nhs i am
