I think you might want to rephrase that John.........a dearth is a scarcity...they were never scarce when I was working for the NHS(and I don't think they are scarce today), their salaries were/are exorbitant.
Get rid of them......the paper shufflers, the higher managers, the executives(paid ones, that is)........slim the organisation costs, spend the money on front line troops......the ones who take you to the bathroom, help you have a wash, keep the place clean, feed you if you can't manage to do it yourself...make the beds etc, etc.
These are the people who are worth their pay...and more. They are the ones that you, as a patient, will remember.
