@ThreeSigma @Tupp_ed Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the budget of the health service almost multiples of what it was 10 years ago? If money is being flung at it and you don’t get results then “efficiencies” might explain a few things.
Efficiencies doesn’t mean that anybody works harder, just that processes are efficient.
@mark @Tupp_ed
The easiest way to make a hospital more efficient is to reduce the number of empty beds.
I’m not sure which country’s health services you mean, but I wouldn’t say outcomes are the same as 50 years ago for any of them.
