  • The NHS has more people doing the paperwork than offering treatment, is that really neccessary?

    Evidence is everywhere you just have to look.

    Yeah it is. In the accounts that every NHS organisation has to publish. We are a monster NHS organisation; 3rd biggest hospital group in the country and our accounts for 2007-08 said that out of 5831 employees only 1284 worked in admin or estates.

    And most of those admin staff are clinic receptionists, ward clerks, records dtaff and medical secretaries doing the stuff that you don't really want clinical staff like the other 4547 doctors, nurses, lab technicians, physios, pharmacists, pathologists and theatres technicians to be doing instead of treating patients.
