I'm not sure what such extrapolated headlines are meant to achieve - a crisis tipping point to facilitate radical change & provider compliance? a softening up of the public for lower standards / new fees / higher taxes or just hospital & service closures? more money moving to LA councils? or just heat up the debate?

It would be more constructive to highlight the current economic costs of poor public health such as obesity & diabetes & other long-term conditions & other demographic related issues such as dementia & then propose cost-effective solutions to yield £Bns into the economy.
