I am reminded of the parable of the arthritc millipede & the wise old owl. The former suffered severe pain during the damp cold winters & a friend recommeded that he seek advice from the owl. Simple said the owl, turn yourself into a doormouse & you'll sleep all winter - problem solved. Brilliant said the millipede, how do I do that? Don't ask me said the owl I'm a consultant not a manager!

In short I would have more respect for these armchair experts with dubious arithmatic & 20/20 hindsight, if they agreed to take over an NHS Trust & show us mere mortals how its done.
