Dear All,
Please forgive my cynicism, but how much of the deluge from Dept of Health,
HAs and the Regions is actually 'evidence-based'? In any case, Trusts will
still have to react to or implement government policies, whether these are
founded on evidence or just political spin/dogma whatever. Still, it's nice
to hear of a Trust Chairman picking up on the need for evidence based
information and are recognising that his Librarian might be a good source of
this!
Yours aye,
John Rule.
