Rising cost of health services - Credibility needs to be restored

IT would take a brave politician to tell us that we will have to pay more in taxes if we want our health service to continue to provide the level of cover we enjoy today. 

That person, if they were very brave, might tell us that we may have to pay even more if we want improved services. In reality any politician confident enough to offer that opinion would need to have a career mapped out in something other than politics after the looming election.

As ever we’d shoot the messenger and then, more than likely, repent at our leisure.
