The bureaucratic cost thus consumes a very high percentage of the budget that could have been used years ago to recruit and train additional medical staff. "Saving the NHS" is saving the bureaucracy as much as anything else. Once again, poor government has put us into this situation. This started in Blair's days when his lot became obsessed with internal markets and all the administrative bagged brought in with that.


Your premise is incorrect - if you dig in deeper, of the 1.17 million FTE staff employed -

Prof. Qual. Clinical staff - 610k
Support to clinical staff - 373k (these are the Healthcare Support workers, not Admin staff)

That’s a total of 983k directly involved in patient care - that’s 85%.
