50000 Excess Deaths NHS 2001 - 2010

[KeithD]

Humans will always make mistakes regardless of how many laws and rules we have. While Labour were in power around 18,000 people died due to vehicles, 99.9% due to human error, so maybe Labour should have banned them. Hang on, more than twice that died during the Tory years previously. Their are more ill people than drivers, so the figures for the NHS and road accidents about the same. However, the 50,000 is extrapolated from a number of reports, and this has a very high error rate. If it was a true, then it only works out at 10 per day, bad for relatives and friends, but out of the millions of sick people, a very small error rate.
