Overhaul of the tests-and-targets culture in schools

One major problem within the NHS is the amount of management now present (it costs a lot, and diverts money from patient care). Who is responsible for that? In my experience, it was caused by the introduction of the current Trusts system. Who introduced that?
I remain unconvinced as to using NHS money to fund private operations. The companies that own the hospitals are in it to make money, and that profit has to come from somewhere..
The current problems with University funding can be traced back to the abolition of one thing. The student grant. Who abolished that?
Who introduced the tests and targets culture in schools?
As far as I am aware, all three of these problems were either directly or indirectly caused by the previous Tory administration. The current Labour government has either made them worse, or done nothing.
