Why an unreformed NHS will never be sorted out

It's not the harrowing tales of neglect, suffering and death - which could touch any family at any time.

Frank Field relates his own bad experiences of the NHS and then shockingly writes

The nurses commented how kind it was of me to feed the old lady. I didn't have the courage to tell them that it was their job; and that they had stood in a group gossiping, watching what I was doing. I was fearful that they would take it out on my mother if I did so.

If Field felt powerless, what hope for the rest of us?

This is the clinching argument. The Nationalised Health Service's establishment is too powerful.

The Nationalised Health Service has somehow to be broken up. There is no other route to proper accountability.
