Frustration : No Media Cover of NHS Sell-Off

Today I sent a letter to the Independent, Guardian, Herald, Scotsman, Observer & Ileach because I am disgusted with the lack of media cover of this awful momentous decimation of our precious NHS.
Not holding my breath for any results but I probably feel a bit better for doing a little something...especially when Chunky Mark pushed the pig to Downing Street...he is a hero.

Dear Editor,
I wonder why you are not reporting the wholesale sell-off of NHS services in England by this corrupt coalition government. A man with bowel cancer pushed a pig from Kings Hospital four miles to Downing Strret, WITH HIS NOSE, in protest but not one newspaper or TV news report mentioned it; although the breakup of some juvenile boy band was all over TV screens.

On the same day in the House of Lords they voted to implement Section 75 of the Health & Social Care Bill which makes it compulsory to put NHS services out to tender. Private profiteers are offering to provide services such as palliative care for children with cancer, diabetic care, arthritis care and all manner of other previously state monitored clinical services; and commissioning GPs have to chose which to use, within their tight budgets.  Ambulances in London are already run privately and nurses' numbers have been reduced by thousands.

Private health providers must make profits for their shareholders, many of whom sit on the Lords' benches. How can they do this without reducing staff, wages, access to clinics and rents?
It's not rocket science.
This government of greedy Tories and LibDems are getting away with giving taxpayers' money to unscrupulous businesses, which cannot be held to account. They are allowing the decimation of the NHS which has served us exceptionally well since 1948.

In such a huge enterprise there will always be mistakes and they are all terrible but practitioners are human and humans sometimes take a wrong turning. The way to deal with this is to sort it out, root and branch not abnegate responsibility and sell it off in chunks to big businesses like Serco, Virgin, Circle or G4S who cannot be held accountable to the community.
