Yes i realise that martyh but the poiticians should be honest from the start not say no more enforced closures and then whammy,feeling they are being lied to is what got politicians a bad name in the first place.
We had two local A/E departments closed years back being promised a centre of excellence on one site with the money saved used to provide one,result our local hospital is doing less and less with far more travelling for the patients the motto of that is"politicians speak with forked tongue"
The thing that has got me was nobody voted for up to 49% of some NHS hospitals income coming from private patients that was sneaked in by a member of the Lords i think, that if carried through is a very fundemental change from the current 2% allowed i guess they did not want to frighten people around voting day.
But as always we will have to see how it pans out.
