Stafford

You say there is no one who cares in the NHS

But you got rid of the carers.

The GPs who cared, you tied up in red tape.

The nurses who cared, you got other nurses to bully.

You set managers like Rottweilers against the rest.

And in came the privateers, laughing.

You divided and crushed, 

Patients stuck in the middle.

Public enquiries led to new standards.

But privateers could ignore them.

Profiteer from cheap staff.

And you complained the staff didn't care.

You removed professionalism.

Allowed nurses to answer to no one but themselves

You allowed every country in Europe to ignore your UK rules. 

The bodies of doctors who can't speak English 

sue for racism when they fail their exams.

And in came the outsourcers, laughing.

Complaints quadruple.

Litigation escalates exponentially.

And you wonder how we could have got here.

You did it.

You.

You awarded contracts

Blind, to the patients.

And still you say there's no carers

Because you got rid of them all.

Doctors on Prozac.

Nurses on the sick.

And your response.

Another enquiry.

To conclude there is no caring.

Caring isn't a quality you later install

You got rid of them all.

What are you going to do now?

You got rid of them all.

What are we going to do now?
