  12. …more patients 11% increase in elective admissions….

  13. …more, more, more! • Virtually all NHS Plan ‘shopping list’ targets met: • 100 new hospitals • Modernising 3,000 GP premises • 75% of all MRI/CT scanners and linear accelerators now new… • But, problems with ICT investment • …backlog maintenance…single rooms…

  14. ….value for money? • Higher unit costs • Lower admissions per consultant and per nurse…. • Official productivity measures show downward trend… • Poor financial control (deficits…)

  15. …greater satisfaction? Net satisfaction with NHS overall highest it has been since 1980s….(shame about NHS dentistry…)
