In 1997the Government spent 37bn on the NHS, which exceeded 120bn by 2008 without any noticeable effect on quality, efficiency or productivity. A dark, difficult time faces the next government as they must pull the NHS out of its black hole while simultaneously avoiding another recession.

Some financial experts believe that a system of top-heavy organisations is the cause of the problem with an increase in hospital managers growing rapidly while general medical staff have experienced a cutback. Those managers are likely to be the ones behind the move to avoid staff cutbacks, especially at their level.

A large number of hospital units are set to be closed, despite an increase in spending on staff in a move they argue will cut their costs which are out of control. Political suicide is how the move is being described as many believe the one thing that would cause local outrage is the closure of hospitals.

In fact some MPs for rival parties are beginning to use stories like this to their own advantage, for example Richard Merrin, Tory candidate for Hornsey and Wood Green stated; “If elected, a future Conservative Government will immediately stop the review of clinical services at the Whittington – including the A&E unit”

NHS London are currently reviewing a selection of medical establishments such as A&E units, baby units and care homes which is being challenged by the conservative party arguing that it is based on false assumptions.

It is difficult to determine where the money to rescue the NHS will come from but in most peoples opinion closing hospital units is not the answer, especially when there is an abundance of diversity consultants, health and safety experts and financially questionable MPs to get rid of.
