Leave Patricia Hewitt, leave

It is a task indeed to find someone who has something good to say about Patricia Hewitt. Those of us who believe that the NHS ought to be approximately three times better than it was in 1992 (given the extra spending) are annoyed by her inability to manage costs or deliver services.

Those who believe that the answer to the NHS's problems is to spend (sorry "invest") more money are annoyed with her for not.

But if you want the wording Blair should use when sacking her, visit the NHS Blog Doctor.
