We all know there's vast waste in the NHS whether it be due to the proliferation of management and red tape, the realities of PFI, over reliance on agency staff or the purchasing of IT systems, equipment etc. I see nothing wrong with making savings if the end result is that we get a leaner/fitter NHS (pardon the pun). If those in the 'know' spend more time highlighting real waste in the system than spreading doom and gloom about the possibility front line cuts then we've a much better chance of saving some money and getting the right outcome. IIRC Gerry Robinson did a pretty good job of highlighting many of the things wrong with the NHS - perhaps that'd be a good start.

Even so, that means Thatcher only 'cut' Arthur by 0.013333% so not too drastic then.
