As Wes Streeting's reorganisation of the NHS (and merger of NHS England & the Dept. of Health & Social Care) creates more chaos, the Q. is: what is it about Health Secretaries that they seem always to see reorganisation as the answer?
Is it because, in our political class' commitment to general management as a skill, incoming Health Secretaries really have no idea how the NHS works & so try to transform it into something they recognise?
A form of political solipsism?
