MP hopes record hospital payout won't reduce service....

In a quote in the latest edition of the local newspaper, talking about the cash strapped Mid Yorks Hospital Trust, our MP referred to a record payment of nearly £4.5 million pounds awarded linked to a tribunal claim and hopes that it will not impact on service. This sort of comment shows a degree of naivety which is stunning from an ex Treasury Minister and Junior Health Service Minister, especially when we consider the funding problem that she seems to have gifted the Health Trust. Thanks to her efforts, Mid Yorks Hospital Trust have to meet an annual bill of £36 million for the PFI that she drove through for Pinderfields and Pontefract Hospitals.

No effect? Some hope!
