Businessified Department of Health
And looking at the new minimal DH website gets me to the total content for management resources:
Promoting business success and improvement through flexibility and partnership, best practice and a culture where staff are encouraged to develop new skills and expand their knowledge.
Frankly I do not want my health service focusing on business success, I want it focusing on effective healthcare. I shall continue to point out the unnecssary businessifcation of the health and social care system.
You’ll be asking what it says about social care; here it is:
The Department of Health works to define policy and guidance for delivering a social care system that provides care equally for all, whilst enabling people to retain their independence, control and dignity.
I’d like to point out that the concept of delivery is fundamentally inconsistent with the concept of care. Think again boys; try renewing your rhetoric.
