I remember Miles Jupp saying how bemused he was was he went for a scan at his local hospital and found that there was a Costa Coffee inside the building, but the scanner was in a shed in the car-park.Looks as though people will be using Portacabins next....
Probably down to the fact that too mamy people cottoned on to the fact that if you put your token into the barrier without first putting it in the paymeny machine it would still lift up giving you unlimited free parking.I ran Mom up there last week, the original car park's looked to be getting new barriers/ token dispensers. Still chaos at the front door with ambulances queueing up.
The interesting bit in that article is at the end ? "It will also provide car parking while refurbishment work is taking place and when any temporary accommodation is located on the existing car parking."

£300m to be spent ( by us ) in Staffordshire hospitals overhaul - double the amount originally planned
That's intriguing; so ours will be The (Staffordshire) County Hospital to differentiate between the twoCan't call them Staffordshire Hospitals, there to be University Hospitals of North Midlands. Now where did that £300M go?
Also on Central news last night it was announced that the main Hospital in Herefordshire has gone into Special Measures. That Hospital is also named "The County Hospital"
That's intriguing; so ours will be The (Staffordshire) County Hospital to differentiate between the two
and there will therefore be no negative references to Stafford at all.
How exactly is that worse than the publicly financed situation of the past 10 years or so?Putting Shareholders at the heart of the business of healthcare, low wages, low moral, high mortality

Seems like the same old same old, to me.
I prefer this marwood rather than the cryptic version. Very well put, i feel exactly the same. I really cant see a future where the care gets better. I will only worsen until brits are forced to buy their own health insurance. To get anything above poor healthcare.It's me, having a rant, frustrated at the whole situation, unable to express my anger and fear, saddened by the whole way the NHS seems to be up for auction rather than this stupid sign.
Also, having the knowledge of the past cruelty locally, the knowledge of the monies spent, but not on patients, the future, which is privatised cancer care guinea pig style for Staffordshire, without the accountability, with the added burden of profit above all, the knowledge that this means we are at the mercy of the lowest skilled and lowest paid staff, in the interest of shareholders not patients
And then there is TTIP
I hope the ambulance drivers still know where to go
WTF? It says my nearest hospital is New Cross Hospital! Stafford Hospital and Cannock Hospital don't seem to exist at all... =/Pop your postcode in here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-25055444 - and see where 'we' are....
