MANCHESTER HOSPITAL BORROWS £3MILLION TO PAY THE STAFFS WAGES

The hospital where the NHS was born has been forced to borrow £3Million from the Department of Health to pay this months wages !!! A financial crisis has also forced bosses at Manchesters, Trafford General Hospital to close two of its seven operating theatres. A total of 210 jobs are being axed through vacancies not being filled. The possibility of compulsory redundancies cannot be ruled out.

MANCHESTER NHS ON CRITICAL LIST

If Manchesters, Trafford General Hospital was the place where the NHS was born 60 years ago, what does the parlous state of its finances say about the NHS of today ? There is a £7Million predicted debt, part of an historic problem, and the prospect of 210 posts being axed, two out of seven operating theatres closing management unable to give guarantees there will be no compulsory redundancies. While management strive for cost-saving efficiencies, unions claim that the hospital is already short-staffed as it is, blaming the crisis on mismanagement coupled with the creation of the health services internal marketplace.

ONE MUST CONCLUDE THAT THE INSTITUTION WHERE THE NHS BEGAN IS ITSELF IN NEED OF SOME INTENSIVE CARE !!!

THIS IS THE DIRECT RESULT AND COST OF FIGHTING WARS THAT ARE OF NO CONCERN WHATSOEVER TO OUR NATION AND ITS PEOPLE !!!
