England's NHS Capital Spending to be Cut by 22%

Channel 4 News has learned that England's Department of Health plans to cut expenditure on new hospitals and crucial equipment - known as capital spending - by 22% in the next financial year.

According to the report the Tories, should they be elected, will not overturn the policy.

Wouldn't they be better cutting some of their excessive management?

We are not broke but destitute and it is never, ever going to be the same again. The only tiny hope is that individuals will come together and perform a miracle divorced from Party political self-interest and nonsense. This can only happen through localism and protectionism. Globalisation has been an utter failure.; 5 February 2010 at 18:08

I'll take your advice and keep and eye on it.; 5 February 2010 at 20:15

The tories, if they get in, will blame labour of course and carry on regardless.; 5 February 2010 at 20:16

Really do like your new design. Very easy to read. I'm getting old I suppose as 'busy' blogs are distracting.; 5 February 2010 at 23:45
