Australian comment on NHS reforms 
The Medical Journal of Australia has published an article comparing modernisation in the Australian and UK health services. "The good news about the NHS modernisation agenda is that it exists, and is a valiant attempt to move forwards," the authors conclude. "It is, however, imposed from above, full of rhetoric, short on substance and poorly evaluated. It does not deal with the fundamental problems of the NHS — decades of infrastructure neglect, low staff-to-population ratios, chronic overload, and a focus on process rather than outcome."
