Drains and NHS Management Consultants

If you’re a management consultant with the NHS as your client we suggest you head for the hills or vote Tory at the next general election!

Frank Dobson, speaking a few minutes ago on The Politics Show referred to the hundreds of millions of pounds spent by the NHS on management consultants. He almost likened it to money going down the drain but said that would be unfair: Drains have a value…

He said he wouldn’t spend another halfpenny in this way.

We’d be interested to know whether you agree or disagree with him (and why).

Also, do you think this a warning shot across the bows to NHS management consultants OR a heads up to Andy Burnham, current Secretary of State for Health, that if Labour get back in, Frank wants his old job back? Or maybe both?

"I was very impressed by Linda's determination to help and the constructive, but persistent, manner in which she identified issues and then tried to resolve them. After recent progress I was again reaching a stage where I seemed to be spinning my wheels, and she has given me fresh impetus to start moving forward again."
