Julian,
Tell us, do politicians search for evidence that supports their
convictions, or do they search the evidence first and arrive at a
balanced point of view? Actually, I already know the answer.
Does competition work? It might, but its advocates overlook the possible
harms.
Does competition fail? Possibly, but its detractors overlook its
possible benefits.
On balance, is it a good thing for the NHS? I don't know, but personally
I wouldn't risk shaking things up too much.

If you read the speech (on Downing St website), Zack Cooper's LSE study
is mentioned.

I don't really know what the head of the RCN is talking about - I didn't
think there was proposed competition on the basis of cost.
Anyway, seems to be a mix of competition, command and control,
collaboration, and everything else. Much the same as usual, then.
