It's a massive topic though and so many different elements of it. NHS reforms, commissioning, LINKs / HealthWatch, personalised planning,
Had a brief chuckle at the Andrew Lansley description by flesh bag Charlie Brooker this week:
"... Yet no matter how many people are bellowing at him, Lansley perpetually wears the nonchalant expression of a man killing time by humming cheerfully in a lift. Presumably he has now become so accustomed to the sound of loudly heckled abuse, he doesn't even hear it any more.
I guess to him it's like a noise made by some weird machine in his workplace, a background soundtrack he tunes out subconsciously. The protesters' plaintive ape wails of despair simply bounce off him like rice grains flicked at a rock.
For a man who recently conducted a high-profile "listening exercise", he's got a shitty set of ears."
