Following Siobhan Ryan's excellent article on having caution about the hospital reorganisation (The Argus, May 6), I hope she does a follow-up piece, covering the setting up of the strategic health authorities and primary care trusts.
The public needs to know just what the various bodies actually do, apart from reporting to each other. In other words, an in-depth article regarding the whole structure of the NHS as it currently stands. And while Ms Ryan is about it, the salaries paid to the likes of Candy Morris, John Wilderspin and even their spin doctors like Brian Hughes and the rest of the management teams, along with their job descriptions.
As an active campaigner, trying to preserve our NHS and all that it was set up to do, I think the public has a right to know just how much all this bureaucracy costs and if it is necessary.
Is it these management costs that mean cuts elsewhere have to be made?
