Does it surprise anyone that the NHS Confed throws up some preservative gloopy glue around "Patient Budgets" and perhaps wants to stick to the same old airfix kit that helps to construct its very unfair-craft carriers ?

Ahhhhh big is so beautiful - to itself of course..

"Mirror mirror on the wall - isn't it good there's just one ball for all ... "

"No" said the Ugly Tovey Dog ...

Personalised Budgets might have seen lots of people with Personality Disorder spectrum problems be able to purchase in some managment-therapy over a long time - as it is a lot are walking cases of delayed suicide..And the IAPT dos not cater for them ... Oh dear excluded again ...

The nitty gritty though is "Patient Choice" set against the sheer arrogance of the DOH and NHS monopoly as opposed to a good solid relationships with GP's and a supported culture there of patient purchasing power - where GP's become, with their patients - a new culture of trying out innovations supported by budgets and the acid test of effectiveness becomes the GP's and patient's measuring their own satisfactions ..
As an ugly Dog in a parallel health dimension though, I notice there are too many bloody trainers about with Pavlovian bells and trinkets and stiffycates here and there to prove they can practice Soviet Sciences on british people with a penchant for a truer human individualism...
