In the days of the NHS internal market it was common for purchasing health boards to press hospitals to cut back surgical activity towards the end of the financial year so that the total amount payable in a cost and volume contract did not become unaffordable when the planned volume of activity was exceeded. |
The health boards should be asking for a reduction in overheads like management etc before asking to cut down on operations. |  |

I guess it is the difference between what saves money in the short-term versus the long-term. In many years there has been pressure to achieve "cost improvements" including through changes in management arrangements, but these take longer and there may be a short term cost e.g. if posts are lost and redundancies are involved. See what is happening in that regard in England just now with the abolition of NHS England (previously known as the NHS Commissioning Board). |  | |  |

Yep, the NHS is chronically short of managers compared to private industry. |  | |  |

My recent experience of private is that waiting times have increased and that must be down to them taking on NHS patients. 20 years ago it was a matter of days to see a specialist, get a scan done etc....now it's around a fortnight between appointments. |  |
