Sometimes I wonder at the thinking behind some of decisions emanating from the NHS. The latest announcement about the outsourcing of the work done by Medical Secretaries seems to me, to be a dangerous decision.
There have been a number of articles in the main press relating to potential disastrous consequences from this decision including a Daily Mail article detailing what could happen.
Yes there is a need to get the NHS budget deficit sorted out, yes there is a need to get all costs sorted out, yes there is a need to be more cost-effective, but the major remit of the NHS surely is to repair and save lives. Any decision based solely on cost saving that has a potential to affect the medical well-being of the patient or the process of care due to the patient is wrong.
