Did you notice?
After nine years of actual and spun cost to
the taxpayer – with absolutely no ‘outcome’, to use the contemporary
syntax – on March 31st last Connecting for Health (CfH) ceased to exist.
Don’t bother looking for any tweets from the Health Secretary about it,
because there weren’t any. It was a Sunday, you see…good day to bury a
story. Oh, and the start of British ‘Summer’ Time. Look through all the
news archives for the day, and you won’t find a single MSM article
relating to it. Google ‘Connecting for Health abolished’, and not one
MSM title comes up as having covered it at all at any time. They must have done, presumably: perhaps Cameron did a deal with his Google intimates to erase it from history.
We would all do well to think about this
sorry episode in the ongoing history of waste caused directly by
politician egomania and civil service incompetence. I doubt if this
piece will attract many hits….but it ought to, because this isn’t a
‘Save our NHS’ story: it’s an article that asks what exactly is
Westminster and Whitehall for – apart from prancing about and frittering away our taxes.
