I MUST question the wisdom of David Cameron. At a time when NHS reforms are under question, he announces £814m UK aid to help to fund a vaccination programme in under-developed countries.
At the same time the NHS is starved of cash.
I would also question the £630m aid announced for Pakistan earlier this year. These two items alone nearly add up to £1.5bn.
If this money went into the NHS just think of the specialised equipment we could buy.
