  • Comment on: Queen's speech: government to make Darzi review law

    Valerie Liddiard's comment 3-Dec-2008 5:48 pm

    Please, please, please lets remember it is a national health system we need to sort out and address not a national health service. The commissioning driven process will only work if we are adult and honest about the limitations and constraints of the national health service - unless they are factored into a wider national system which recognises all the component parts to achieving a healthy society it will be more rhetoric and wasted opportunity. Stop micro managing and tinkering around the edges - devolve, delegate and most of all engage business more proactively as a necessary part of the healthy nation supply chain. Commercial businesses have commissioned and provided for years give them a greater role through employee engagement programmes with tax breaks for health improvement it could build better responses from primary and secondary care in terms of access and delivery.
