What’s Wrong With the NHS?

The government is spending squillions of money on our health service, yet hospitals and medical services don’t seem to be vastly improving. At least one NHS doctor is also wondering Where Does All The Money go?:

My attention has today been drawn to the existence of the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement.
May I first clarify matters by saying that the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement is nothing to do with the The NHS National Centre for Involvement.

As far as I know.

It would however be wrong to think that the National Institute for Innovation and Improvement does not get “involved�, or that the NHS National Centre for Involvement does not “innovate and improve�.

No, indeedy. It is imperative that Involvement, Innovation and Improvement be spread thoughout the entire Health Service. And if it needs the employment of hundreds of managers and consultants, each on twice or three times the salary of the average nurse – well, you won’t get the best Innovators, Improvers and Involvers if you don’t pay what they’re worth!
