THE Government has been slammed by MP David Crausby for its “wasteful” NHS reforms.
Mr Crausby, Labour MP for Bolton North East, has said guidelines requiring NHS Bolton to put a side £18,906,908 in two years are not acceptable.
“These shocking new figures show the Government’s reorganisation is costing the NHS even more than we first feared,” he said.
“It is scandalous that they are telling our local NHS to hold back millions of pounds for their own reckless plans whilst thousands of nursing jobs are being axed.
“Bolton Primary Care Trust has seen a 129 per cent rise in the number of patients waiting longer than 18 weeks for treatment since David Cameron became Prime Minister
