Comment on: How to design and deliver a clinically led organisation
These exchanges remind me of the scene from Fiddler on the Roof (my all time favourite): Tevya is talking to the men and one says... Things will get worse..and he says...you are right.. Another says things will get better...and he says you are right.. The third says, they can't both be right..and Tevya says...YOU are right too... The logic is false because it is based on GENERALISATIONS, like "managers" and "clinicians." As a clinicians I have had the privilege of working with some top quality managers, but I am also horrified to see some clerks been promoted well above their level of competence. I'm sure some decent administrators have had similar encounters with clinicians.

Comment on: CCG budgets published
It is a missed opportunity to redress injustices in funds distribution. The across-the-board increase has ensured that Bexley remains the poor relations compared to our prosperous neighbours. Patient care is bound to suffer in unfairly treated CCGs.

Comment on: We must beat our hospital addiction
My hospital colleague is right, but care for the elderly can only happen if the problems identified by Lord Warner are addressed seriously.The elderly will receive the care they deserve only when (and if) hospitals decide to stop filling up their beds and clog-up their laboratories with unnecessary activity generated solely for the purpose of raising revenue.

Comment on: Funding pressure 'may hit NHS care', warns thinktank
The British Medical Journal published a paper some years ago proving that keratin becomes softer when dipped in water. A doctor commneted: "Are we actually paying people to tell us that it is easier to cut our toenails after a bath?" Who is funding King's Fund? And why "may" when everyone knows that Funding Pressure WILL hit NHS care?

Very interesting to see if Mr Ali Parsa's resigantion has a knock-on effect on Circle's activities in Bath, Reading, NHS Nottingham, NHS Hitchingbrooke, Stratford-upon-Avon and Windsor.
