Take them out and shoot them

The Czars go…….the further the better

One of the good changes happening with this new regime is some clearing out of the medical twaterati. The move to get rid of the medical tsars is to be welcomed. They have never been very popular amongst their colleagues, and never had any great either intellectual or democratic validity. Apparently Harry Cayton, the “patient czar” has gone already. Let’s just hope we get the head medical honcho out as well.

Then we could celebrate a good month with Hewitt, Granger, Burnham, the Tsars and the CMO out of DH. Warner already gone at Christmas. At least the poisonous people would have gone.

Whether Alan Johnson can draw the poison from the policies remains to be seen.

Also getting rid of Johnson from BMA is good. Hamish Meldrum is a sensible doctor and knows what he is talking about.

RCGP is getting a new Chair of Council in November who is likely to be a less divisive figure than his predecessor, Professor Sir Mayur Lakhani. May there be fewer stars in Steve Field's eyes.

Now we just need rid of the CMO and Dame Carol Black and we really will have had a high phosphate clear out of the discredited Twaterati.

Maybe a good start for July.
