https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/aug/26/nhs-plans-radical-cuts-to-fight-growing-deficit-in-health-budget NHS plans closures and radical cuts to combat growing deficit in health budget The conspirators of the Parliamentary Labour Party, now openly aided by elements of the National Executive Committee and Labour Party hierarchy, are determined to destroy the party and to stop the democratic process of the leadership election.

Seven-day NHS plan contains ‘serious flaws’

A round trip from home to say Poole Hospital is a distance of some 70 miles with a traveling time of around 2 1/2 hours, and to Bournemouth Hospital the round trip is some 85 miles taking almost 3 hours traveling time. There are many people reliant on Dorset Hospital services who will be even more inconvenienced than I will be, all sacrificed on the alter of Hunt and his Conservative cronies who are intent on cre...
