With an ageing population, increasing numbers of patients with long term conditions and increasing pressures on budgets, how do you think the NHS in Worcestershire can provide high quality, safe and affordable services?http://www.worcestershirehealth.nhs.uk/news-and-views/discussion-board/?topic=44http://www.worcestershirehealth.nhs.uk/news-and-views/discussion-board/?topic=44#m45You could start saving money by cutting the dead wood from the top of the tree.http://www.worcestershirehealth.nhs.uk/news-and-views/discussion-board/?topic=44#m49It's very lonely in here!http://www.worcestershirehealth.nhs.uk/news-and-views/discussion-board/?topic=44#m50Rather a restricted topic base for such a vital review! I would have thought that having an ageing population would necessitate a LOCAL A&E service rather than one two hours away by public transport - given that the long term conditions would allow such a journey. How about concentrating on patient needs rather than those of consultants and accountants? You could also try making it a lot easier for people to contact you. Wendy
