Remember, the SHA are not the same thing as the DoH. Come late March, the
SHA will probably try to "fiddle" their books just as much as the trust
will, in order to look good for the ministers! And the ministers cannot be
trusted either, as they will try to make things look rosy for the public.
Apart from just going to the papers with such matters, which is a perfectly
viable option these days, I believe our only true "advocate" in these
matters, who is patient-centred, independent and apolitical, is Sir George.
That's what he's there for, in my view, to tell it like it is, warts and
all.
