THE Selby and York Primary Care Trust is becoming increasingly short of the funds it needs to fulfil its commitments on health care for the population in this area.

Desperate measures are being taken, but the indications are the current situation will only worsen and that the future availability of health care will be badly affected.

Flip the coin and on the other side, what do we see? We see a Government that, in order to appease its American "masters", is spending billions of pounds fighting an illegal, immoral, unnecessary and unjust war.

Makes you wonder where the priorities lie, doesn't it?
