But I do bother. Deeranged has made this point on many occasions, it forms one of the planks in the case that our figures are not being counted on the same standard as anywhere else in the world and I think if he is right then guys like you who criticise our politicians for the poor work they have done should be asking for the figures to be revised to bring them into line with international norms. I have just read an article about proposals to unpick the 2012 health reforms brought in by Edward Lansley during the coalition Cameron/Clegg government. The idea is to bring back the National element and do away with the local commissioning health authorities. Putting the HEALTH MINISTER IN CHARGE. Apparently the narrative behind this approach is that when the current incumbent pulled the levers at the start of the pandemic nothing happened. NHS not so effective as we thought. I find it strange that the solution to this is getting more political control. Maybe we are heading for a totalitarian state?
