A key problem with the NHS under Labour and Conservative governments has been top down, management-consultancy driven reorgansisation with a bias towards competition that has led to clumsy bureaucracies, fragmentation and confusion and demotivation among health care professionals. That was why I welcomed the commitment in the Coalition Agreement to no more top-down NHS reorgansations. This turns out to be another 'broken promise- or possibly an outright lie because Andrew Lansley came in with a well-prepared plan for extensive top-down reorganisation he had spent years developing - and then set immediately about implementing with little serious resistance from the Lib Dems. So I don't hesitate to sign this petition. |
