Both scenarios would put many lives at risk
After several years of neglect, we now read that money is being diverted away from ‘urgent’ road repairs and spent on less urgent maintenance instead (September 10).
Perhaps the cash-strapped NHS could adopt the same principle? Cancel all emergency lifesaving surgery and concentrate on out-patient clinics instead. I’m sure they would make a killing.
Actually, the similarity between these two scenarios is not as far removed as first appears. They would both put lives at risk.
