The HSJ (subscription only) also has an article on the difficulty of maintaining "goodwill as a resource" (in the words of Nigel Crisp) when under the European Working Time Directive, all goodwill will have a financial impact.
There is also a great article on impenetrable NHS management jargon.
On that topic, for anyone who is struggling with jargon-laden letters, can I direct you to the British Dialect Translator. It is really remarkable how much easier some management letters are to understand when translated into Yorkshire dialect or Cockney Rhyming Slang. Or even the Ali G Translator: "Da hostipal hat night control room sometimes can get crowded wiv peeps hangin around, so da bus' hout room would serve da purpose. 11 hours chill in 24 otherwise compensatory chill iz due. The DTI guidance iz da wicked bit hof papa."
Need I say more?
Have a great bank holiday.
