-----------------------------
Mild, Andrew, too mild.
Tonight's insight:-
Much of the NHS arose out of the aspirations of men (mainly) who had
been shot at in WW2 for their dependants, and met no criticism from
the civilian population who had been subjected to degrees of hunger
and deprivation and some danger from bombardment.
The early administrators understood this, and did fairly well within
the constraints of the system.
Current, administrators have not done so well partly due to an
absence fo these character-forming experiences.
Corollary:-
Take the managers, starve them, frighten them, bore them, bombard
them.
Then expect great things of them.
Speaking personally, let me say that after bombardment with medium
range ballistic missiles, the NHS administration lacks power to
coerce.
