"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." - Samuel Beckett, 'Worstward Ho'

The chat in NHSland is that 2013 is to be 'The Year Of Pain' - one long run of long-delayed closures. The hope seems to be that the political pain begins to subside in time for a 2015 general election.

I know slightly and admire greatly Dr Peter Brambleby. An interview with him for this site can be found here.

When we last met at recent a Wellards seminar at The Kings Fund, he told me he had left NHS Croydon PCT and Croydon Council, where he was joint medical director.

Peter added that he was feeling very happy that he had done so.

We now know a bit more about why.

'Never Again?’ by Nicholas Timmins

Institute For Government / Kings Fund 2012
