It would appear that the undermining of the medical profession has just been kicked into high gear by the Government. According Ms. Hewitt, the Health Secretary, it is the profession's "clinical resistance" to change, that has undermined their health strategy. Surely it can't be the Government's lack of forward planning, they have dramatically increased spending on the NHS but without the desired outcome.

Every week we hear about "Targets" which need to be met and so forth. To make sure these targets are met, they hire private financial consultants and managers, all of whom fail to realise that health is completely unrelated to any other financial institution. In their opinions, patients are like robots or engines, which only require a quick examination, diagnose the fault and moved onto the next station for fixing. I guess, if the general public accepts how they are looked upon by the government as just numbers, we might as well be robots.
