Please note-
we give respect where respect is due.
Whilst we applaud and respect the NHS staff that work and deliver incredible
results to patients under pressure from ridiculous amounts of red tape
in adverse conditions, we deplore the armies of paper pushers that the
Labour government is creating in their desperate attempt to justify
the huge amounts of tax that they are wasting on the NHS.
We are a "not for profit" organisation who believes that in
the new era of openness under the Freedom of Information Act that it
is in the interests of all parties to be open and honest about the value
for money that the new Labour reforms are achieving for all of the billions
of pounds that they are costing.
