• Matt Hancock was looking well, back at work 7 days after diagnosi, assume he has now written himself a prototype immune certificate. Nice he had time to practice some magic tricks while he was off and demonstrate it tonight by wiping out £13bn of NHS debt also known as money the Government owed the Government, net impact zero

  • not really though is it. if we owed £13bn there's no way we would get growth bids approved or even be able to defend our current funding.

  • I'm being slightly facetious but my crude understanding is that the historic debt didn't need to exist if not for Lansleys internal market reforms that created costs that never needed to be incurred to begin with and removing the debt won't remove alot of the inequality they created by penalising already underperfoming trusts, I guess it just annoyed me as it is another case of them using the magic money tree they have found to try and undo ideology driven holes they have found themselves in but dress it up as a win rather than admitting a failure
