THE ENVY OF THE WORLD?

NHS worship is a central theme of the BBC, I guess one State monolith will always approve of another. But I wonder will the BBC be investigating why it is that almost €1.2bn has been spent on NHS bureaucrats in 07/08 – a doubling of expenditure since 2003? I suspect that unlike you and I, when the BBC sees this vast increase in funding they don’t feel angered at such financial profligacy, they feel jealous.

Update by Natalie Solent: Since it seemed silly to have two separate NHS posts on B-BBC on the same day, I have taken the liberty of adding this link to David’s post. It takes you to the blog National Death Service, which in turn links to a BBC story called “Bloggers debate British healthcare”. I’ve been posting to this site since 2002, and for bias I think that story comes in the top five.
