This morning I took the opportunity to have a chat with someone I know who works at Christies. I indicated that there seemed a lot of politics surrounding it. My contact agreed, but was not referring to party politics! Apparently there is much internal speculation about the future of the hospital. Also, money is very tight (no surprises there). The view of this person is that the Christie will at some time have to merge with another hospital in the area, and will concentrate on tertiary care. Only one person's view of course, but this conversation was a useful corrective to the Labour Party propaganda which seems to have convinced some that it is all a figment of John Leech's imagination.
