There’s more in the same vein. Broadly, though, patients reluctant to exit a pathway until really happy with results, as no confidence they’ll be able to get back in, in my experience.

Really interesting piece of work. Halfway through writing a book in which this conundrum features, amongst others, but the tl:dr includes:
Increased surgical complexity through waiting can translate to more procedures, whether unplanned or need to stage them
Doing both sides on same pathway

It’s like more law enforcement presence would have been helpful.

Because it might be too late by then.
The best way of countering this tide is not to give easy wins away. Whilst that requires a huge amount of adulting on their part, the best way of countering plastic sovereignty is showing the geopolitical value of cohesion.

Is it you who’s no good at speculation or them who are no good at coherent and reality-anchored taxation policy?
Coming up next week - universal basic income for all true patriots, paid for by making migrants buy pay and display tickets off machines by the white cliffs of Dover…

A “bold move” in the same sense as trying to stop helicopter rotors using one’s hand. One person’s “controversial plan” is another’s dangerous idiocy. Maybe somebody needs to tell him that his shadow justice gig isn’t to cast a shadow over it…

It’s genuinely terrifying, from a strategic leadership perspective, how often that analysis is absent.
Neither “do more with less” nor “show efficiency” is a mandate for poor care. And if your resourcing isn’t up to the task, step up and say so. Leave the comforting untruths to the usual suspects.

The internet for so many is the fascinating contradiction of a pool of knowledge and information so vast so as to be literally unfathomable, but also anything I haven’t personally encountered on it is thereby proven not to exist.

Fair play to them - if they’ve had chance to interview these people for a cross-sectional attitudes survey then they’re more organised than they’ve had credit for 🤡

And sure - 2 minutes to wait, who the hell am I to think I’m special etc etc. I’ll save the usual crowd the time. Hot take is that if you directly disengage people to no apparent benefit to yourself, and exist in a crowded market, it seems pretty self-defeating.
