There's a lot wrong with Wes Streeting's approach. Too much to write in detail here, but the basic issue is that NHS provider organisations work in a fiendishly complex system where performance is impacted by a myriad of factors.

Pretty wild that, in a system where we say there is a “productivity crisis” in hospitals and we don’t really understand what is causing it, we think we can centrally produce league tables and sack the managers of the organisations at the bottom.
NHS league tables.
Again.
Sigh.

Into the valley of the shadow of career death
Rode the six hundred.”

League tables to reveal failing NHS trusts
Hospitals in England will be ranked on care and finances, so patients can look for good service.

I've had too many reasons to say this lately, but - when you really need it to be - the NHS really is freaking amazing. So many excellent people going out of their way to make things better with great kindness and expertise. ❤️

Call with an NHS Trust this morning how about to incorporate assessing the usability of the EPR they're procuring. It's never really been done before in the NHS. These things cost multiple £ms a year, and no one has ever thought to try to use it before a 10+ year contract. Absolutely mind boggling.

It is far from clear that Labour yet know what to do about improving the NHS. The Darzi Review is fine: it tells health experts nothing they didn’t already know.
Its main, unstated purpose is about the allocation of political blame. It does that quite effectively.

I have a nearly finished blog post that tries to pick out some of systemic issues we need to tackle to have a chance of delivering any NHS priorities. Actual work and life currently getting in the way but maybe tomorrow or Monday...

The Darzi review feels like a massive stalling exercise. Has said absolutely nothing that hasn't been said for decades now sadly. Seems just like an exercise in shaping public narrative.

More good stuff from the Darzi review being pre-briefed. He is absolutely right that the NHS is “undercapitalised” compared with other health systems
Since 1970, there have only been 2 years when we've invested more than the OECD average

It seems to me that govts and media seem to swing between criticising NHS managers and criticising management consultants working with the NHS. It's almost like the NHS is a fiendishly complex system, chronically under-managed and starved of capital to address long term issues 🤷🏼♂️ 🤷🏼♂️

Spent most of today driving across miles and miles of empty foggy north pennines, with lunch at the best services in the UK (yes, Tebay) in the middle. Came back to find @ethicalhealthcare.bsky.social has won an award. Lovely day.
