The Health Secretary Apologises

The Health Secretary has apologised for the confusion over doctors' training. I suspect that it would be foolish to wait with baited breath for an apology about the bad planning which has led to 80% unemployment amongst physiotherapy graduates. Despite multidisciplinary working in hospitals, despite post graduate research and professional knowledge at times like this is is still possible to believe that the NHS consists of just 2 types of staff, doctors and nurses. The Government jumps every time that the medical profession demands it , suggesting that there is a profound lack of understanding about how healthare works and how interaction in the system is more important than its more prominent (2) parts. It seems likely that the lack of real understanding of the complexity of the NHS together with adherence to old stereotypes is a major factor in NHS difficulties.
