Nor must we agressively chase Utilisation to the dangerous & counter-productive levels of Bed Occupancy seen in many Wards.

Nevertheless, I can accept that much of the NHS needs to be better organised around the natural peaks & troughs of Patient convenience - designing Accessible Services (including Prevention & Discharge), considered Fit-for-Purpose by the Patient, and evidently delivering Best-value to the Commissioner.

We need more streamlined, integrated Services designed to deliver Optimal Care because it will be lower Cost & higher Quality starting Up Stream.
