itsnotoutthere Posted April 4, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Strange, i seem to be told on a regular basis by M.Ps that the NHS needs to save money, er...obviously that's not the case. NHS boss behind £20bn cuts racks up expenses worth £5,000 a month The Health Service chief who has ordered hospitals and trusts to save £20billion is blowing more than £5,000 a month on taxpayer-funded expenses. Sir David Nicholson racked up almost £16,000 in three months on restaurant bills, hotel costs, first-class train tickets and a chauffeur-driven car. He is receiving this generous travel allowance on top of a £210,000 a year salary, one of the highest in the public sector. And already he has accrued a gold-plated pension worth £1.6million that will pay out retirement sums of £100,000 a year. link :- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2124825/NHS-boss-20bn-cuts-racks-expenses-worth-5-000-month.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.United_Nations Posted April 4, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2012 They get paid way too much and when the small strike happened, one of the nurses was was worried about getting enough money rather than saving someone's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."

Still Waters Posted April 8, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm thankful we have the NHS in this country. Imagine what we'd have to pay for without it! I don't think we do that bad compared to countries like the US where they have to pay for every kind of medical treatment, including even Dr's appointments (I think). Private dentist fees are bad enough here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste and stupidity have to be tackled but killing everyone in prison amounts to a worse situation than paying excessive taxes. What good is it to have a pocket full of money but no soul?

Waste and stupidity have to be tackled but killing everyone in prison amounts to a worse situation than paying excessive taxes. What good is it to have a pocket full of money but no soul? 99% of those in prison have no soul. Do you even know what totalitarianism is because your reply says you dont. Totalitarianism is left wing extremism where the Government owns, regulates and controls every aspect of the state. Its Socialism gone too far and a perfect example is North Korea. I am propsing exactly the opposite which is getting rid of socialist burdons on the state to create a Capitalist Utopia. One where I dont have to pay taxes to fund others benefits, comfy prison cells, heart transplants or retirement pensions. If individuals want these things then they should take out private insurance. The savings from these expensive acts of socialism can then be reduced off everybodies taxes. I also have no sympathy for any criminal. Throw them to the dogs the scumbags.
