Editor's blog Sunday 17 October 2010: Scotland chooses free prescriptions over managers

Publish Date/Time:

Interesting times continue, as the minority SNP government in Holyrood choose to make prescriptions free in April 2011 by dint of cutting 25% of senior NHS managers in Scotland.

The target group will be senior managers in Scotland's health boards.

So 25% of managers in health boards do work that isn't needed? Crikey.
