The view from the frontline of the Darzi report & Labour's response.
As the 'secret consultant' points out:
'We cannot expect the NHS to improve population health on its own.... the reduction in productivity is not due to staff working less hard, rather our time is increasingly spent trying to mitigate failings elsewhere'!
Its pretty clear that prevention & resolving social shortcomings around nutrition and lifestyle 'choices' are the key to helping the NHS.
