Warped funding priorities

It said on the BBC news yesterday that the Government will be putting £2 billion into the tube (subway) system in London. I did not hear of any adverse comments being made about this. Yet only a year or so ago when the same Government put just £1 billion more than this into the NHS (an organsation which is vastly bigger than the London tube system) there were statements by politicians implying that the NHS was fortunate to be getting so much money, that the staff had to improve productivity etc.etc. It's the same with physiotherapy inside the NHS.Vast amounts of money are spent on other areas of healthcare (including huge amounts wasted by managers on office refurbishment, useless management seminars and free lunches during management events) and yet physiotherapists are greatful if they get fully funded to do training courses which enable them to do their jobs. Funding priorities are warped!
