Are management costs the cause of cuts?
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?
