It never ceases to amaze me that politicians in Britain have this mystical attachment to the NHS. You only have to live abroad and experience healthcare in countries like France, Germany and The Netherlands to realise that claims that "the NHS is the envy of the world" are just piffle and poppycock. The assumption that the Tory leader David Cameron would do nothing to change a system that is on the verge of breakdown is particularly worrying. He, like others before him, fears the electoral consequences of waking up to reality. Sooner or later the NHS will have to be broken up: the longer this process is dragged out, the more painful it will be for all involved.

Would not surprise...the French health care system runs huge deficits and leaves many doctors underpaid, but seems to have no constraints on spending.

The NHS has a simple problem of being run like a ship from the bridge and not the engine room, and some mediocre management at a micro level which simply putting an Office of Complaints - Internal and External in the Chief Executive's Office might resolve.

All housekeeping and maintenance issues should run through the Chief Executive's Office to tighten performance

This is exactly what it is! I'm personally for Ségo, but the economic & job market situation in FR make us seek opportunities here. For a young person, FR is a great place to qualify in a third level college, but after that, it's better to leave & look for opportunities elsewhere, esp in Britain. Lets wait & see if Zarko will succeed in changing this trend.
vive la france & les français!
