Have your readers come across the quote (said to be from Gaius Petronius) about the consequences of solving corporate problems by re-organisation?
I find it very worrying that it appears (paraphrased) in Vol. 1 of Francis' report on Mid-Staffs. The third sentence of para 6.471 introducing his comments about replacing LINk with Healthwatch reads "Experience in this, as in so many other areas, is that reorganisation by abolishing one body to create another can be distracting and disguise a weakening of public protection behind unwise claims of improvement."
How prescient! And appropriate for CCGs, etc too, from some of these comments!
