Labour's Second Rate NHS
Health has been in the news this week. The NHS waiting list is back to over 1 Million. We now have 250,000 managers and administrators in the NHS. That figure is more than the total number of doctors and nurses! The Government keeps piling on extra targets and launching new initiatives. Each new target and initiative needs to be measured so there is relentless recruitment of yet more managers to do the measuring. The Government is spending more on the NHS but we are not getting the benefit where it really counts, in getting people the care they need when they need it.
