" It depends on definition. If nurses and doctors are front line, then there are porters, cooks, cleaners and maintenance workers who are vital but non front line. It is the back office managers, with the inefficiencies oyu mention, that are ripe for pruning.DocRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903964792092284406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192922.post-28901188600799770342010-10-16T14:52:31.989+01:002010-10-16T14:52:31.989+01:00Call it 'deficit reduction' if you want bu...Call it 'deficit reduction' if you want but the majority of NHS spending goes to non front line staff/support. The NHS needs to lose a lot of jobs.<br /><br />I work with a PCT and a Trust both of whom have surplus people (as compared to the private sector) doing the same job in different departments which could/should be melded together.GIDEON MACKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16212957620977046779noreply@blogger.com
