    “the conservative are are only committed to privatising the NHS, David Cameron has broken his election promise not to cut NHS in every year since elected Cameron's appearance on Bill board all over the country "promising the NHS to be save in his hands " has been shown to be the words of a con man

    The actual spending 2011-2012 was only slightly less £ 25 million than the £104 billion previous

    No one is surprised that a tin pot Tory without private health insurance, A take all and pay nowt moaner, and fantasizer "claims the Tories are committed to increase NHS spending" believing Tory commitments clear does not depend upon intelligence, it realise on a remarkable stupid thick-headedness

    You keep writing your lies , even though you are are clearly looking ridiculous. The philosophise is well known " keep up the lies an the public will believe" Joseph Goebbels 1941

    we have libraries being closed unless opened by volunteers, care for the elderly at home under-funded, youth clubs closed or manned by volunteers, disabled persons benefits cut, the terminally ill being told they are fit to work, bedroom tax making people homeless, children queuing for bowls of porridge at school breakfasts, while there parent wait outside food-banks
    to put something on the table at weekends, contemplating suicide

    What a empty dustbin, who has had the "Socialist" health service since birth does not consider, we would not have these problems if these Tory bankers, who are running the country and still want there bonuses, were made to pay back the £1.6 trillion they stole'

    All you have to offer is lies lies and more lies, you must be associate of Cllr. Waltham.

    your using a carton character that is not your property.

    “"lets hope you do not need treatment from the people you are making false and untrue allegations about"

    Not sure which planet you and your spaceship been parked up on for the past month and more whilst all this MidStaffs scandal and its wider fallout has been widely reported and condemned.

    If you take the trouble to read again!? You will note, I make no allegations or inferences at all regarding the role of our VAST MAJORITY of excellent, dedicated NHS care professionals.

    As a family we have had nothing but the best of service, treatment and care from SGH, DPoW and NLAG Trust staff over the past 10 years!

    Like many other observers and commenters; I restrict my criticism and attacks to the political and executive leadership in certain Trusts and quarters of the NHS hierarchy.

    I remind you that the Conservatives are on record and committed to increasing NHS spending in real terms every year. So far the Coalition Government have increased NHS spending in real terms since 2010-11. Last year, local NHS bodies received an increase of more than £2.5 billion.
    Investment in the NHS is to be increased by £12.5 billion by 2015.

    Besides that, yours is an absolutely typically dimwitted, disgraceful and despicable response from seemingly another misguided, deluded Scunthorpe lefty. And you wonder why this Labour dominated failed town has ended up in such dire straits and cannot shake off its music hall joke standing?!”

    “I have visited hospital tonight to see an eighty six year old being well looked after by 3 nurses and 2 assistants, they also had 32 other ill people to look after, of course there are some employees that are not self starters in every job

    labour spent millions improving the NHS and by the time your lot have left office it will be destroyed and privatised, what a waste of space some ungrateful people are, most staff are hard working and do not do the job only for the money. Most QUALIFIED nurses could earn much higher wages than the NHS pays had they chosen a different career

    lets hope you do not need treatment from the people you are making false and untrue allegations about

    John Carney”

    “Following the last Labour Governments and its Health Secretaries' diabolical leadership and handling of the Mid Staffordshire Hospital debacle of up to 1200 unnecessary patient deaths. Including other NHS Trusts' standards of leadership and attempts to gag whistle blowers and sweep under the carpet their high mortality rates.

    And now the Keogh Investigation into 14 other Trusts, including NLAG, and what lay behind of upwards of 7000 higher than unexpected deaths in the NHS under Labour's watch.

    You bet we have concerns and an opinion. As North Lincolnshire residents and service users of Scunthorpe General; as a family we would grasp such an opportunity to hear out and express those concerns/opinion to the Chief Executive of NLAG Trust.

    If you take photos of Dakin's previous Peoples Panels, they could quite as easily been hold in a phone box. So I don't see why the problem of opening up this opportunity to the wider North Lincolnshire community and users of SGH and NLAG Trust?

    However, unfortunately in their wisdom, Nic Dakin's office refused us access to his Peoples Panel?! We aren't convinced whether that refusal is all down to not qualifying as his constituents or indeed for other non qualifying factors!?

    Will be interesting to see if in fact we do get a response to our questions to Karen Jackson via Nic Dakin's minders?! Watch this space!!”
