Re: NHS Cuts
The problem is that taking any over-arching view of services means that somewhere will lose out.
Imagine you've got a few large towns in a cluster with 3 reasonably local hospitals A, B and C.
Now, the NHS wants to make Hospital B their specialist centre for heart operations, so that they can concentrate staff, equipment and skills in one team. They announce this, so then everyone piles on about "downgrading" hospitals A and C and screaming about "cuts", even if Hospital A becomes a centre for something else (Spinal work for example)
