It depends on what crimes are committed which the police have no say in. Unless police start forcing criminals to own up to crimes they didn't commit, or make up crimes and "solve" them.<br /><br />You can't have targets for waiting lists when you have no control of the diseases and accidents and health problems that people have. When the proper way to lessen waiting times is to perform more operations which because targets are inappropriate does not work, people will work out ways of reaching the targets using other means - reclassifying, removing, re-purposing.SadButMadLadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836368722377421009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764541874043694159.post-11124647808035538352013-02-11T17:15:23.866+00:002013-02-11T17:15:23.866+00:00Old South,

The problem was a well-meaning Government trying to bring down waiting list times - which is a good thing - but unfortunately using external and I suspect ill-informed "advisors" who went beyond their remit and weren't properly supervised. The NHS staff in this were beyond reproach, and even the system, although slow and bureaucratic, worked. The problem was that the attempt to change it had unintended consequences.<br /><br />I would not want the US system in the UK. We have a system that is free to all at the point of delivery irrespective of income levels and whether or not they have insurance. That is something that I, for one, am immensely proud of and I feel the US would do well to copy. I didn't like the suggestion on your blog that the NHS is bad and Obamacare would reduce the US system to the UK level. That is a monstrous misrepresentation of the situation I described in my post.<br /><br />Frances Coppolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399390283774592713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764541874043694159.post-79373533532286274142013-02-11T13:45:27.873+00:002013-02-11T13:45:27.873+00:00They used to call these charlatans "Snake oil...They used to call these charlatans "Snake oil salesmen"<br /><br />At least that was a more honest term?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764541874043694159.post-60492966546497417752013-02-11T01:06:17.980+00:002013-02-11T01:06:17.980+00:00And, sadly, we have this to look forward to in the...And, sadly, we have this to look forward to in the United States. <br /><br />I shared your tale with my 'legions' of readers.
