“Institutionalising Altruism” – an interesting phrase used by Lord Hennessy in this interview on the BBC this morning. His Lordship holds the view that any changes to how the NHS operates that would mean that the lines of responsibility do not lead back to the Health Secretary are most unwelcome. It’s a perfectly valid view albeit one that I take issue with. However my question is WHY the BBC only chose to allow this singular point of view during the interview slot? Why was no one allowed on to argue that the NHS desperately needs to have responsibilities devolved downwards, away from politicians and towards people trying to make decisions on what patients need? The fact is that Hennessy holds the same view as the BBC – namely that the NHS is good for our health whether we like it or not! Any challenge to the NHS is an indirect challenge to the BBC which is one reason it so defensive of the status quo.
