Letter: Don't trust political spin put on NHS
What I do know about the NHS is that we have to trust the clinical and medical expertise within the various colleges about safe working processes and practices. Do not trust political spin and bluster.
The ideology behind this attempt to rout junior doctors is that the far-right led by Cameron intend to break the NHS so that they can say 'I told you so' then complete their sell-off the NHS.
David Cameron instructed Hunt to maintain his confrontational and uncompromising approach to the dispute with junior doctors in two separate conversations late last week. Against all prevailing expert advice. Sir David Nicholson, former NHS in England head, criticised the deliberately confrontational approach. "Our future consultants, leaders and chief executives will forever remember you win by the exercise of power and imposition a catastrophe for the NHS."
Once they have broken the NHS for us, the far-right will be able to sell it off to the lowest bidder from those Tory Party donors and earn big bonuses for cronies with convenient little share holdings in big pharma and healthcare companies.
Take this is every bit as seriously as deliberate and ideological Tory campaign against the working classes in the 1980s. This is aimed at the working and middle classes. The NHS can never be safe in their hands.
