NHS Funding Debacle.

We have ten hospitals in the North West now facing repayments of over £100 million this year because of the Labour Parties PFI scheme. PFI has paid out an estimated £11 billion to build hospitals and some schools the tax payer not the government will have to pay over £66 billion in interest on these commitment. That is why some hospital trusts may have to be taken over by private companies because they are basically bankrupt. PFI schemes were schemes that would make private companies rich at the expense of the tax payers. Anybody with a modicum of sense could see that moneys borrowed would have to be repaid. When they were introduced didn't the government of the day realise that these schemes were to make money for the investors not for the benefit of the people, i.e. you and me as tax payers. Again this was a scam for the rich to get richer at the expense of the people, endorsed by a government that has never been fit to run the economy. Things can only get better so Tony Blair told us in 1997, well he should have sang Things can only get better for me. He helped to leave this country on the verge of bankruptcy, he got out in time leaving the ex-chancellor to become prime minister who is as much to blame as Blair for the mess we are in to carry the can. Now there is talk about that wooden top taking over as the head of the IMF, God help us all if he gets the job.
