The challenge is how to use neoliberal Fordism against itself, requiring a WHO-definition of health as the outcome, not a physician's or manager's definition.

GPractices are private disease-centres prioritising acute approaches to physical illness over the mental and social drivers of ill-health in an era of complex, chronic conditions. That physicians don't understand that the lack of physical disease doesn't equal health is the essential problem.
