Wes Streeting, you must have a better plan for ailing hospitals than public humiliation (Guardian, 13 November 2024)

Summary

The plan to introduce league tables is a simplistic, retrograde gimmick that will demoralise NHS staff – and sideline their incredible work, writes Rachel Clarke, a palliative care doctor, in this opinion piece for the The Guardian.  Naming and shaming, complete with inflammatory language that’s designed to scapegoat staff, such as the bad managers branded as the NHS’s “guilty secret”, is not constructive.
