And there we have it! Adam Smith much favoured by Margaret Thatcher, that person who decimated British industry, British steel, the coal mines and threw millions on to the dole in this Free Market world and on the way she closed all cottage hospitals, closed hundreds of hospital wards, increased patient waiting times and waiting lists and tried to introduce the market into the NHS which led to abysmal failures.

Is there no end to you greedy capitalists? Do people not matter to you?

We all know that this white paper is just denationalisation and prerequisite to full blown privatisation, something the Tories have wanted to do to the NHS all the time, they see the deficit as a golden opportunity to do just that.
By the look of your photograph you are not old enough to remember the NHS and the parlous state it was in prior 1997, if you were, you may take a completely different view. Our NHS was deliberately run into the ground then the stage set for the Tories to say it isn’t working it has to be privatised.
Now they are at it again, this white paper is going to cause utter chaos in the system, major mayhem and disruption, waiting lists and waiting times will again rise, hospitals and GP surgeries will go bankrupt. GPs will start cherry picking their patients and will refuse to care for the elderly because that is expensive. people are going to be refused treatment if it is expensive, refused drugs if they are expensive, people are going to die for your slavish selfish attitude towards this certifiably insane government. When they have caused major destruction in “fixing” something that isn’t broken, but very much on the mend and getting stronger each and every day, they will turn around and say “the NHS is not working, we tried and failed it is time to privatise it” and they are using people like you to do it- shame on you. What are you a closet Tory? A Conservative Lib Dem apologist? How can you possibly say this does not go far enough, when it has taken just 6 weeks to produce these proposals, there has been no consultations, no pilot schemes and over half GPs do NOT want this, yet you say it doesn’t go far enough? What are you on?

Understand this people will not just be paying with their money, they will be paying with their lives.

I hope you can live with that – I know I couldn’t.

You have no idea at all about what is coming and I regard you and people like you as every bit a serious danger to people we are bound to help as this crackpot government.

How would abolishing or opening up the RCN or GMC help. Do you mean the RCN or do you mean the NMC (nursing and Midwifery council) which is our regulatory body. The RCN is a trade union and there are plenty of those I could have joined in preference to the RCN.

Maybe a model for a new reformed NHS could be the BBC. Regulated by government, part funded by the state but not run by the state it would be accountable to the people it serves through a board of governors one of whom could be the secretary of state for health. How would that work?

My, my Helen how you have rattled your opponents. Magic!
