Re: THE NHS IS NOT A SINGLE ENTITY!
No, it wasn't. It really wasn't. I worked in the NHS while it had hundreds of trusts under the labour government, which of course brings up the biggest problem with the NHS.
Making any changes to it is a political matter and utterly uninformed idiots will argue that it's political party X's fault, despite the problems having provably existed for 50+ years and individual trusts like mid staffs managing to kill many times more people than every serial killer in the 20th century combined.
And people defend it anyway, despite this being utterly indefensible. And as a result of such political patronage, it's unthinkable to charge people with criminal negligence or murder when it is appropriate.
