Celebrate women in healthcare? Let me see: Patricia Hewitt? Cynthia Bowyer? Jo Williams? Carol Black? Barbara Hakin? The dozens and dozens of NHS (and other fields) quangocrat queens created since NuLabour came to power in 1997? Women as dedicated nurses and frontline clinical staff, yes - but in positions of responsibility and power - no. OK, a broad generalisation, but this is what we are talking about. Stuff your "Diversity & Equality" claptrap: everyone knows that there is too much oestrogen at middle management level in the NHS, but no-one can say it.
