Surely the ‘most maligned organisation in the NHS’ accolade has to go to the gloriously ridiculous CQC?

That’s right. Public health commissioning and some provision moved from the NHS to LAs as part of the doomed Lansley reforms (aka vandalism).
Looked reasonable on paper, pretty disastrous in practice. LAs neither interested nor equipped to tackle health inequalities.

In my long experience of this as commissioner/provider it is almost impossible to get LAs interested in healthcare. The incentives are simply not there and there is no joint accountability. Until these are changed I can’t see progress being made. Look at the failure that is the Better Care Fund.

Beats me why some seem to expect better of the BBC despite the evidence of generations that it is institutionally corrupt.

I don’t. I think she’s doing really well

Well if there were an election imminent I’d be concerned. But there isn’t so as a snapshot of current opinion it has some small relevance, I suppose.

You’re probably right. We can but hope for better times with Julian at the helm

Only if the CQC survives. Surely now is the time to create a new and credible regulator?
