Bye Bye NHS

[presta]

Before people join in with those who peddle the same old anecdotes and hackneyed tropes about NHS productivity, I'd recommend they try reading some of Steve Black's work.

Dammit, Steve Black looks interesting but you gotta register to read - I know it's 'free' but even so I rather baulk.

Yep, he comes across as someone who really knows his stuff. I haven't read all he publishes in HSJ, but I follow him on Twitter, and I've not seen any of those who take him on get the better of him. The arguments he makes are clearly more thoroughly thought through than "The wicked government won't give our heroes more money" that you get from everyone else, so needless to say, virtually nobody likes or re-tweets his posts.

From recent experience, the frontline staff remain dedicated, working long, uncertain hours, but the resources behind them are shaky to say the least.
