‘Hospital Capers With Gerard Foliott Vaughan’
– Gerard was a very naughty politician with quite a few fairly naughty friends. One day he decided to cause some mischief for innocent sick children who were bedded up in Stoke Mandeville Hospital
GWTRANS : “Gerard Foliott Vaughan (June 11, 1923 – July 29, 2003) was the Health Minister during the Thatcher administration who feted Savile and placed him in a position of authority and trust within the NHS because of some warped Tory Ideology about encouraging a public/private partnership model to be put into place there (so that) statutory frameworks could be bypassed and NHS commissioners and managers could be dis-empowered.” Hmmm. The scrambling of our NHS by the Cons has been in progress for a long time then.
“The report suggests that essential safety nets were waived by ministers and senior civil servants in Whitehall because the Thatcher government wanted to use Savile as the poster-boy for charitable funding of the NHS.”
