In Wales choice is strongly linked with privatisation and there is strong public opinion opposed to it. I realise that they are not necessarily the same thing and that there are many shades of grey involved but Chris Bryant's pamphlet does not acknowledge that subtlely. <BR/><BR/>For him the Blair agenda is immutable even though in education especially the comprehensive system is serving Wales very well indeed and the quality of that education continues to rise without the need to resort gimicks such as academies etc. <BR/><BR/>In health, Bryant does have a point but it is possible to deliver the sort of solutions being used in England through the public sector and that fits the mood of the Country here.Peter Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16370260756872929021noreply@blogger.com
