Not sure why he wants to hang on to such a useless commissioning system, which is ‘poor to mediocre’ (i.e. less than 3 out of 10) according to a health select committee report.

Looks like we need a new NHS CEO (if one at all). The current one is living in the past rather than the future. We need a ‘can do’ CEO rather than a ‘can’t do’ CEO. Someone who is able to mobilise support and get things moving rather protect the status quo and protect their interests. Someone who can deliver change by 2012 rather than block change until 2015.

If we continue to have blockers all the way at the top, the NHS will still be a very expensive, inefficient, and suboptimal service, delivering mediocre care and mediocre quality.
