ON MARCH 31 2007 the Ministry of Defence will hand over the keys to Royal Hospital Haslar, before it closes for good in 2009. Gary Cleland unearths 100 reasons to keep it open. Read It Here
(RG) Instead of this trend of closing military hospitals we should be opening more. If the government put as much effort into the treatment of wounded servicemen as they do sending them to War then we would have the best military hospitals in the world. It seems the way the world is at present that our men & woman will be fighting the new Global War On Terror (GWOT) for decades if not longer, so there is a need for these facilities. It is good to see that David Cameron has campaigned against this closure, I am sure this will be more popular than his `Hug a Hoody` campaigne , at least it seems there is a large proportion of the general public who still do value or men & woman of the Armed forces.

Amazing isn't it? Governments can barely see the light through their fog... bless you and yours always...
ReplyDeleteHaving spent the last eight years trying to get equity for former service personnel this story comes as no surprise. The one factor dogma ignores...it is almost irrelevant how much dosh you throw at a problem, if the management is incompetent it will fail. Labour is endemically incompetent. They are incapable of listening to those who know what they are doing, and who would you trust most when your guts have been blown apart? A Surgeon Commander or a self interested politician?
