I think this is a very common perception. I imagine if your contact is one of the large number of staff involved in ICU there will be lots and lots of people who have been given a similar message. It isn't difficult to see this message being replicated right throughout Britain. There is a difference between the way things feel when you are at the coalface, as it were, and being part of the management team.
