I don't like bashing the NHS because it's something that we should be quite proud of. But it has to be said that there are a lot of people on an earner out of it that you have to question. As the article says this money would be much better spent on medical doctors rather than spin doctors.
Perhaps it's time for the government to appoint someone to sit down and sort out the waste. Cut the PR bill for starters and do away with translation services and I'm sure millions would be saved.

And they should sort out people like the head of the NHS Nicholson who gets paid hundreds of thousands a year and does not know what is going on the service. And he admitted it himself.
