According to Dr Evan Harris, Liberal Democrat MP for Oxford West and
Abingdon, said: "These losses are a direct result of the target culture in the
NHS, which has forced local hospitals to waste money chasing political targets
at all costs.
"The refusal of the Government to give our local NHS Trusts enough time to
achieve financial balance has made huge job losses, including redundancies,
inevitable, just as I predicted." as reported by the BBC.
The Oxford Radcliffe NHS Trust joins the ever growing list of NHS trusts in
financial difficulties as they chase Government targets, with a possible loss of
600 jobs. Patient services have already suffered, with routine cardiac ablation
no longer offered to patients on a regular basis.

Defence Secretary and former health secretary, John Reid was among
demonstrators who formed a human chain around Monklands Hospital in Airdrie,
Lanarkshire according to the BBC. The protestors were concerned about possible
closure of A&E services to the local area, as consultation began on proposed
plans to reduce the number of A&E departments to 2 from the 3 local hospitals in
the area, forcing many emergencies to make the long trip to Glasgow.
Mr. Reid said "This is not organised. It's not the normal political or trade
union demonstration. This is just ordinary, non-political people who know how
much accident and emergency means to this area.
"The local round table is here, the councillors are here, community
representatives as well as MPs."
It has become increasingly obvious that the NHS is in serious financial
difficulty, with ever increasing job cuts coinciding with cuts in patient
services. Current Health Secretary, Ms. Hewitt may claim that there is no crisis
and that the NHS is having its best year, other cabinet members are starting to
see cracks in her story, as their own constituencies become victims of the
current NHS mismanagement.

The World Health Organisation has asked Britain to stop poaching doctors &
nurses from the world's poorest nations according to the Independent. The WHO in
its latest report claimed that more than a quarter of doctors in the U.K. have
been imported, leaving millions of people in the poorest countries without
access to health care.
In a report last year by Save The Children and Medact, it was reported that
Britain had saved £65 million in training costs for doctors and £38
million for nurses it had taken from Ghana alone since 1999. The Government
have been so thoughtless and efficient in recruiting overseas doctors and nurses
that there is a now a major shortage of medical posts resulting in thousands of
doctors facing unemployment in the U.K.
To make matters worse for overseas doctors, the Health Secretary announced
the new work permit regulations this month, casting a drift those doctors who
are surplus to requirements. The Government's lack of ethics and forward
planning has now rewarded those who came under erroneous advertising with a
brick wall that they can not climb, whilst lightening their wallets in the
process.
