Where is it going?

We are continually being told by the PM that "we are investing X number of pounds in the NHS, X number into the Rail network, X number into schools, X number into extra police etc;
This is good news but in spite of all this future investment we don,t seem to be seeing any betterment so where is all this money going?

Re: Where is it going?

That's a very, very good question Ben and one I'd love an answer to. It seems to me that every £ that's thrown to the NHS, etc is swallowed up in administration or management consultants, etc that very little of it actually gets down to where it is actually needed - on the front line so to speak.

Hi

All Politicians lie, they have vast numbers of Spin Doctors to mislead us.

The thing is the figures are correct, but, and it is a big but, after 10 years of austerity we are still spending less than we did 10 years ago in real terms.

We are still overspending on huge projects in the South East.

Most importantly, we are still not sacking those responsible for wasting money, especially those in the NHS.

I was part of the system, so I feel comfortable about saying this.
