Can Gerry Robinson Fix The NHS?

I was half-watching a programme called 'Can Gerry Robinson Fix The NHS?' on the idiot lantern. From the half-watched perspective I built up, it appeared to me this great socialist institution has become corrupted by bureaucratic drawbacks, which impacts upon the nitty-gritty work of actually getting things done on the hospital floor.

I was going to start the next sentence with the phrase 'combined by a lack of financial backing', but I can't do that. Gordon Brown has poured more and more money into the NHS over the past five years. The problem is, it just keeps disappearing into a mystical black hole, which is slowly ceasing to exist. Like I said, this is only a half-watched perspective.

Yours, wherever you may be,
