Is this really true :

If true are we nearing the Marxist utopia a lot prey , and hope for in Wales?
Don't worry there are plenty of them in Wales, even on this message board :wink:Quote:

Taking these things into account Wales has greater challenges in healthcare to overcome than other parts of the UK.
The differences in the way it's run between England and Wales are pretty minimal really, so to suggest one is not fit for purpose while the other is great is difficult to argue.
And don't forget that the amount of public funds Wales receives is still determined by Westminster and the Barnett Formula. So overall cuts in Westminster means cuts in Cardiff - it's just down to the Welsh Assembly where these cuts take place.Quote:
