I was interested to note a letter in the Telegraph today. Earlier this week, I discussed the unfairness of the present settlement for England in relation to the NICE decision on Velcade, a drug to treat myeloma.
Today’s letter to the Telegraph indicates the strength of feeling felt within certain sections of English society. Personally, I am not convinced that an English Parliament is presently desirable. To want something just because someone else has it strikes me as not enough of a reason. Do we really need further levels of public administration in this country? I could be persuaded to support an English Parliament if we were to do away with another level of local government, say the County Councils. I suspect that is not likely to happen any time soon.
