£650 million in 'secret cuts' to the NHS
£650 million was taken out of the health service by changes to public sector pensions that leave employers fielding extra costs. Schools, hospitals, and forces will pay £2 billion extra in pension contributions, contributions previously made by Government.
A sneaky cut that he didn't have the guts to mention in his speech, much like all the cuts to payment that help the disabled. To say it was a sneaky nasty mealy mouthed budget would be generous, but he did get cheers and support from the greedy Capitalists sitting around him calculating what the tax cuts for the rich would mean for themselves and their relatives.
I apologise if I missed it but I didn't see Jason rising to object to this further blow to our Health Service, or to stand up for his disabled constituents.
Not surprisingly Radio 4 claimed this as an improvement to peoples pensions - which it is not - rather than a sneaky underhand cut, which it is. Good to see that the BBC's (Broadcasting By Capitalists) New Political Editor is maintain the high standard of support for their conservative friends.
