WHY SHE WON'T RUN ON HILLARYCARE:
Hospitals in two counties on brink of collapse, says Audit Commission (John Carvel, January 6, 2006, The Guardian)
NHS services across two counties are on the brink of a financial collapse that could disrupt services to patients, the Audit Commission warned last night.Posted by Orrin Judd at January 6, 2006 8:50 AMIt said the entire health economy in Surrey and Sussex is at risk due to weak financial management and failure to address problems raised by district auditors over the past few years.
Hospitals and primary care trusts are heading for a collective deficit of £75m by the end of March and their cash position is so precarious that they may not be able to pay the wages or meet bills from suppliers.
The facts don't stop many from advocating universal health care coverage. Stories like this aren't reported where most people will hear about it and if they do, advocates will say that our plan is not like that.
