NHS Funding: Getting Closer To Reason?

This Blog has posted so many times about the complete failure of the present fixed budget taxation funded NHS business model that I  will not bore readers by going over it all again. Likewise the fundamentally ridiculous management structure where no person takes responsibility for anything and multitudes of boards and quangos fight upon each other’s turf without useful results.

Noises coming out of this leaky government at war with itself at many different levels, indicate a rethink over the Lansley reforms and a recognition that the business model will have to be redrawn on quite different lines, with the capacity to expand the financial base in line with demand. This is very good news. All that we need is a coherent plan and timely delivery.

And that is where the government has real problems. Let us hope it can solve them.
