He managed to reduce waiting lists, and he got 90% of operations were done in under three months.
It just goes to prove that the Government needs to do more then just pour money into the black hole that is the NHS. They need to restructure it, and get people just running it properly, all the money in the world won't make crap management any better. |

He ends up asking the doctors to work through their lunch breaks to maximise the use of operating theatre time and addresses the question of why some consultants are so unhappy with the health reforms put in place by the government. By the end of the programme , the waiting lists had fallen and 90 per cent of patients were now getting their operation within three months.

Everybody is entitled to a break, yes if you treat people like donkeys then more work may get done in the short term, not the long term. I think more money will make a difference, more surgeons trained, higher wages for nursing staff and less chance of being refused an operation on the basis of lack of funds and operations being a waste of money or too expensive.
