With all the scaremongering from elements who support those who were beaten in the last UK general election, I can't help noticing how much pandering to the PC Brigade contributes towards the fundamental problem which faces the NHS; that is to say, failing to balance the books. And my own experiences reveal examples of lamentable waste of money; and in paticular, sending completely (IMHO) unnecessary letters.

For example, when it was discovered that I have a broken toe, my GP told me that he would arrange for me to see a foot specialist. Why it was necessary, therefore, for the hospital to send me a letter to confirm what my GP had already said; i.e. they are going to arrange for me to see a specialist, but not actually offering an appointment, is completely beyond my understanding. In due course, no doubt, I will receive another letter with the aforementioned appointment.

Another instance of an unnecessary letter is the practice of sending the patient a copy of the letter a specialist sends to the GP after a consultation. I'm sure the PC Brigade will point to something called The Freedom of Information Act; however, why send the letters to patients who don't want them? The minority who might want the informantion could make an appointment to see the GP. Simple!
