If these stats are 'dodgy' then I think you need to prove it. I'm not in a
position to query them, not having access to any but our own at this
hospital, but they do not look that 'dodgy' to me. Have any of the academics
any real evidence that they are not right? Or are you making a political
point?

See Michael Barber's presentation on the No 10 web site. This was cascaded
to us at work via the Statistics Commission. David Rhind said guardedly that
it looks impressive at first sight. Too right, take a second look!!
