ecu, rather than blindly ranting on about the Tory/Lib Dem approach to the NHS, why not acknowledge that they have at least tried to do something to overhaul what has become a very sick project over the past 25-30 years.  This has partly due to unnecessary Government interference in the project by, now, all three of the major parties and partly by the public purse being simply unable to bear the weight of rapid medical advances in that same period - advances that would probably strain a budget 4 or 5 times its current size!!

I agree with you that what has been proposed seems to have got out of hand, and lost what shape it might have originally had, not always helped by posing and economy with the truth from both sides of the debate,

Would you be willing, albeit quite simply perhaps, to outline how you believe the NHS ought to be being brought into the 21st century?
