NHS managers exposed wasting our money on posh cars, wining and dining

The NHS is in a mess, no doubt about it, though much of the current debate about who is spending what and where to start to fix it all has me in a bit of a daze.
Then there's the news that those managers who work under the auspices of Strategic Health Authorities – the bodies which tell the NHS where to spend the money – are milking the system for all its worth with healthcare not even figuring in their world view.
Oh no, for these guys it's a world of lavish lunches, expensive away-days at stately homes and luxury motors as company cars.
Meanwhile, I was at a hospital recently and there was actually a pooh on the floor of the reception area – though someone had put one of those yellow plastic triangles near it to warn of the danger, no-one had bothered to clean it up.

Our local hospital has now closed three wards because of "Cutbacks".
Not one member of the admin staff has gone but 35 nurses have and there is a block on recruiting medical staff.
Oh and NHS Wales is NOT funded by Westminster but comes under the Labour/Plaid coalition in Cardiff.
