Always remember a story from a Parliamentary Secretary who happened to be attached to the Health Ministry as an PS to the Minister....
This particular minister got elected on the basis of sinking millions into the health system for enhancements and a complete overhaul. The day he first sat down at his desk as minister, he called his PS and had this urgent desire to implement his electoral promises.
All was fine until the PS explained that his election promises of X million into the health system was only equivalent to an extra 36 hours of the cost of running the health system
They guy was totally clueless on money and obviously his constituency were as well when they voted for him :-)
