Apparently Bruce Keogh wants the NHS to run like
Dixons and PC World. Dixons no longer has any high street presence!
This is what Wikipedia says:
"PC World has attracted criticism in a number of
areas. Common complaints include:
Failure to honour statutory responsibilities
under the Sale of Goods Act (see controversies below)
Promotion of goods with misleading or incorrect
information (see false advertising below)
Promotion of extended warranties (also known as
insurance and support packages)[3]
Customers are required to use out-sourced, local
rate telephone support for hardware issues or
premium rate telephone lines (£1/minute, except
for set-up which is 75p/minute) for software
issues, unless an extended warranty has been purchased[4][5]
Overcharging for repairs and lack of technical
competence among technicians from seven sampled stores[6]"
Perhaps secondary care is already running like PC
World and perhaps he has some responsibility for that?
But does he really speak for the public, or
indeed anyone sensible when he asks us to go down this route?
Did he even bother to research his weird analogy?
Perhaps he'd like us to behave more like the
clothing industry and work from premises that collapse on people's heads.
Insert a variety of 5 letter words according to taste: xxxxx
I thought better of him.
