What NHS funding crisis ?

Channel 4 Dispatches has just finished inthe last few minutes and it provided a more complete analysis of the NHS financial crisis than the last blog. As well as the major funding incentives in primary care it highlighted the experience of all NHS staff who everyday are confronted with squandering of resources. This includes the plans for a massive computer system which costs billions but which really fails to serve any purpose and could have been provided for a fraction of the cost using alternative low tech. systems. Clinicians working in the NHS feel sickened with the talk of massive investment because there has been little sign of the money and every day there is the unrelenting pressure on a cash startved system. Physiotherapists are probably more aware than most of the failures because of the total lack of planning evidenced by the growing graduate uneployment in physiotherapy with the vast majority of last years' graduates still unable to find their first posts and it now being only 5 months away from the next group of graduates.According to Channel 4 things are going to get worse, because soon the money will start slowing down even further so if things seem bad now what are they going to be like in the future?
