So working to targets has been blamed for the problems at Stafford Hospital. 'Heads will roll' we are told and a witch-hunt has started against hospital management.
I think we should be looking at the twats who actually set the targets. It's the bane of public services to work to unrealistic targets set by people not on the frontline. Social services are a classic case of this.
Blaming lily-livered middle management for not standing up to the faceless bureaucrats ruining our lives makes sense. Damning a hospital for doing what's it's told is not.
