		<description>The government&#039;s NHS reform program is in an absolute state. 

And as Williams points out, look where privatization of those industries has got us? 

In the case of water, so far as I can see we&#039;ve just replaced a state &#039;monopoly&#039; with regional private monopolies. The only way to change water provider is move. So much for competition!</description>

		<description>So there will be no more money for the NHS, but thanks to Labours efforts, we can be sure that it will not try save money on anything.

That is a great combination.</description>
