DrIn his first major interview since becoming Health Secretary Andrew Lansley sets out his plans for the NHS.  To me this is just more tinkering around the edges.  He talks about nurses spending more time with patients and reducing health care acquired infections, while these are laudable intentions it sounds like he is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

The NHS does not need more or new targets.  Targets are part of the problem of this broken system.  What we must hear from Andrew Lansley is how is going to change the system itself.  We have had more than 60 years of trying to make the NHS work and it still failing patients every day.
