The latest NHS news doesn't make for a chirpy read:
Guardian headline: The NHS funding grenade has exploded in David Cameron's face
Independent headline: A manifesto for NHS civil war
Telegraph headline: Patients denied treatment as NHS makes cutbacks
It certainly looks like a rough time ahead not only for people working in the NHS but for service users as well.
The Telegraph quotes Dr Mark Porter, Chairman of the British Medical Association’s Consultants Committee, who says that [threatened services] "are by and large not being axed for clinical reasons, but as an inevitable consequence of the massive cost savings that have been imposed on the NHS.
It is far from clear at the moment what the UK is going to look like in 2011, but what with the changes in NHS and higher education, one thing is clear: we are entering a time that's going to be very different from what went before.
