I'VE just read that the NHS is unlikely to be free at the point of use within 10 years according to doctors.
A BMA poll of 964 young GPs and hospital doctors found 61 per cent thought some patients would have to pay for some treatment by 2017.
Four out of five said it was likely the health service would be providing fewer services, but all main parties have ruled out bringing in a form of charging in the NHS short term, but now Tony Blair has defended hospital income from parking charges.
"Keep Hospital Parking fees High or else face NHS cuts."
I've read that parking fees in Scotland could be scrapped if Labour get back in again in Scotland. I doubt it.
