[SPUGGIE J]

The NHS has become so bloated that the chances of any worthwhile and benificial chanes will be blocked by the suit and tie brigade at the top. To me who knows best what the patient needs the medical staff or some business graduate. Granted the NHS should be run as a business but even businesses need to go on a diet when needed. When it comes to losing the excess fat the top has the most. G if it wasnt laughable that the govenment rejects the report then we would be crying. The govenment wants an efficient NHS yet does not want to put in on a diet in case it becomes anorexic. It seems like the NHS is heading for a banks style meltdown.

Patiants come first not some targets set that become a noose around the medical staffs necks. The comments that Jaysay made in another thread shows how screwed up the system has become. I do not like the idea of people losing jobs but sometimes the fews sacrifice will be for the better of the many. Get rid of these stupid reports suited slave drivers and let the people who do the front line job of fixing our illness wounds etc. Then maybe the dreaded postcode lottery will end as the money freed can be used where it is needed most.
