  • "So all that guff that Cameron spouted about never wanting to see the NHS privatised, was just that - guff,rubbish,lies. Its nice to see that Jesse "best trader of tea towels in the free world" Norman,is planning a public meeting,it will give us chance to hurl phlegm in his general direction, as Bobby would say. Can't see him going to war over this - he doesn't seem that bothered that the rest of Hereford is going down the pan under this conservative led council.
    Rotten stinkers,the lot of them."

MP to fight NHS Trust over "false choice" offered to county

1:33pm Monday 4th March 2013 in News By Bill Tanner

JESSE Norman is ready to fight Wye Valley NHS Trust over the “false choice” he says is being offered over the future for health and social care in the county.

The MP for Hereford and South Herefordshire is calling a public meeting to rally his cause later this month.

Last week the cash-strapped Trust confirmed plans that could either put its services into private hands or see the Trust become the junior partner of a larger, financially stable trust.  This was pitched as the only way the trust could achieve foundation status as required by government.

Today (Monday) Mr Norman said the trust was being pushed into a false choice by NHS chiefs unwilling to grasp unfair NHS funding formula and Hereford County Hospital’s “ruinous” PFI contract as the real source of the Trust’s cash flow woes 

“There must be no talk of cutting or merging services in Herefordshire until both these issues are properly addressed,” he said.
