There was a "Jarrow March" ? Wow I do get out of touch, but confess not looking much at news as I used to. Anyway what NHS ? I thought it was all out to ender and privatised now, isn't it ? Or are the management still directly employed ?

NHS cuts - you mean firing of useless piles of Management that have built pointless empires I assume since the NHS was ringfenced from cuts.

Not much media coverage Old_Geezer as it wasn't treated as an invasion and no apparent beheadings, nor celebrity trivia.

'Ringfencing' by with a £20 billion in cuts proviso. (plus 9%
less available per person.) That fence sounds as secure as our borders.

I hope all the " useless piles of Management that have built pointless empires" and other superfluous pen pushers are removed,
but '7,000 key NHS clinical staff made redundant amid enforced cuts' hardly seem to fit that bill.
