Foundation Hospitals buried in debt

Source: Campaign for an English Parliament

Foundation Hospitals, forced onto the statute books in England against the will of English MP's by Scottish and Welsh MP's, are being buried in debt.

They only have to break even every 5 years so they've been spending money they haven't got for the last few years and now they are cutting back on services to try and dig themselves out of a £37m hole.

So, to recap - we didn't want them, we didn't ask for them, we have to pay for them and now they are cutting services because they've wasted too much of our tax.

Democracy in action.
