I think for a start it's would be easier to take the politics out of this if there were political consensus on how to reform the NHS. You can have a cross-party committee and I think there is a good argument for that but I can't imagine them coming to an agreement.

I'm sorry, but politicians should definitely not be running the NHS. They can set the funding arrangements, standards and principles, but the day to day running and management of the organisation should be left to managers.
