However, the person who has caused this has possible put peoples lives at risk.I have always worked under pressure in banking, but if I had sent thousands of pounds from a customers account to the wrong place, the only person to blame would be me
, so I am sure the NHS will blame the right person!

We are all customers. This is not an area for complacency or excuses. No government spending should be taken for granted as "free", it's not.

Re: Breast Screening
HiThe NHS is wasteful and inefficient and does need more efficient management.
The other side of the coin is demographics and you can't beat them.
We are living longer, getting fatter, exercising less and diabetes for example now takes up 10% of the NHS Budget.
We need to pay more in.

Re: Breast Screening
Some areas need more money other areas need less. Look at Deylon's situation. She can access a rapid response team only between the hours of 8am and 8pm and after that she has been told to ring A&E. Were she living in a neighbouring borough she could access rapid response 24 hours and A&E would not be admitting someone who could be treated by the community team.This is the sort of patchwork of services we have following the Health and Social care act and constant restructuring since. The Health and Social care act is to blame. It's ever since then that services have become totally frayed and there's no sign it's achieved any reduction in cost. The opposite.
This has nothing to do with the breast screening issue which, according to news reports, is a programme created by Hitachi consulting. They are now saying it's not their fault.
