"Non-clinically trained isn't only management, though. Receptionists, janitors and other cleaning staff, technicians maintaining hospital infrastructure and equipment etc would all count as Non-clinically trained."

Exactly, it's like complaining that the air force has more support staff than pilots. The pilots, doctors and nurses might be the ones at the pointy end of things, but if you don't employ anyone else they won't actually get anything done. The exact numbers needed in various areas can always be up for debate, and there are very organisations you can point at that couldn't function perfectly well with a hefty reduction in middle management, but the idea that simply having more support staff than doctors must be inherently bad is just silly.
