Deja vu... Written in 1997!
"Management of the NHS is necessary and vital to effective delivery of health services. It is not a process that can be avoided, whoever does it. New Labour needs effective managers in the NHS if they are to bring about the changes they want to see. Manager bashing, which New Labour is showing signs of continuing, is counter productive and encourages a climate of threat for managers which subsequently translates into bad management practice with its inevitable consequences for service quality and productivity."
