stevegrant Posted 9 April, 2010 Share Posted 9 April, 2010 voteforpolicies.org.uk I got some rather surprising results... http://vfp.me/4BBF03882077C Particularly strange as I voted Labour in 2005! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 9 April, 2010 Share Posted 9 April, 2010 I got UKIP when I did this earlier Green Party appear quite popular, could they do well in the actual election? To be honest I hadn't even considered them because I didn't think enough people would take them seriously for my vote to make an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 14 April, 2010 Share Posted 14 April, 2010 Some of the manifesto statements are so vague as to be irrelevant; "we're going to get rid of 100,000 bureaucrats in the NHS and replace them with doctors, nurses and surgeons". Excellent. How? I had 50% tories, 25% labour and 25% greens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent. How? I had 50% tories, 25% labour and 25% greens. A large percentage of the 'bureaucrats' they talk about are in fact clinicians who take on additional duties as managers. Such as the matrons we've just been talking about. Every clinical department has a clinical lead - who will be a Consultant. Every clinical department has a clinical nurse manager. Theatres have theatres managers who have to schedule theatres lists. I've just had a booklet from my local NHS community trust. 1% of the money spent is on management costs. http://www.oxfordshirepct.nhs.uk/about-us/publications/documents/YourGuide2010Finalrevisedwebversion.pdf page 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the major election talking points used to be how long it took to get an operation - it's to Labour's credit that it isn't the case anymore. The non clinical staff that have enabled the clinical staff to do their job better play their part in this. Personally I'd try to reduce the competition between PCT and provider - I'm not convinced that the internal market is a great model but maybe that's just me. On the subject of competition I'll try to give any politician who offers me more choice a wide berth. People don't want the option of going to the "best" hospital - they want the best treatment at their nearest hospital. They don't want to send their kids to the best school - they want their nearest school to offer the best education. That's without even bringing up the contrived idea of choice in the water and rail industries.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
