Slogging It Out With Jeremy Hunt-Bottomley – You mean ‘Pitt the Younger?’

Nuffield Trust

Jeremy Hunt-Bottomley at Nuffield Trust recently – http://www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/summit/2013  Nice hair Jeremy.

‘According to the Daily Star, leading figures in the NHS have attacked Jeremy Hunt for frightening the public and demoralising staff after he criticised some hospitals for only meeting minimum targets. Representatives of GPs, nurses and physicians hit back at the Health Secretary following his speech at Nuffield Trust’s health policy conference in Dorking, Surrey, where he warned that too many middle-of-the-road hospitals are “hitting targets but missing the point”. Given Hunt was addressing one of the larger private health groups poised to pick up the NHS for a song, I would’ve thought that fact alone would be enough to condemn his very clear intent to destroy the NHS with a million carping tweets.’  http://hat4uk.wordpress.com/tag/leon-brittan/

Matthew-Hodson

Matthew Hodson – Nurse of the Year 2013.

Hunt’s predecessor in the seat for West Surrey now works as a consultant aka lobbyist for Nuffield and their mates in the House of Lords.

Victoria MacDonald Channel 4 says Hunt’s speech could come back to haunt him.  – http://blogs.channel4.com/victoria-macdonald-on-health-and-social-care/hunts-hospitals-speech-may-haunt-him/832

Telegraph says Hunt’s ‘big stick’approach to curing NHS might backfire.

Cameron says NHS managers earn more than he does according to the DMThat’s probably true but they are more likely to be self-made leaders unlike him.

WATCOR says Watford General is doing a good job under very difficult circumstances Jeremy.

Daily Mirror – ‘Jeremy Hunt, with his ­Government’s usual profile of stepping straight from private school to Oxford to Notting Hill, without much of a look into the real world, said on Monday that nurses are failing to put patient care first.  He should be healing wounds not causing them.’  http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/fiona-phillips-jeremy-hunt-health-1855660  You expect Jeremy Hunt to be compassionate Fiona?

Here we have some ‘Huntisms’

    • “coasting can kill”  Hmmm yes you coasted into your job didn’t you Jeremy
    • “not bad is not good enough”.  GCSE English – Grade C Minus.
    • “hitting targets but missing the point”  I thought ‘targets’ were how ConDems measured success
