The biggest loser was...

The result of last week poll deemed, not surprisingly, that the NHS online recruitment system was the biggest loser of the post-Blair, pre-Brown era. Expect Patricia Hewitt to be shown the door when Brown announces his first cabinet; she has been the latest in a long line of disasters at the Department of Health. However, you have to ask - is it fair or more to the point sensible to put someone in charge of the third largest organisation of the world who has absolutely no experience or expertise in the industry they are leading? They wouldn't do it at Tesco and I reckon Bill Gates wouldn't employ a technophobe to run one of his departments either. So, in a way you have to feel for Hewitt, she had an impossible job - only she managed to balls up the easy stuff too! Whoever is past the poisoned chalice in a few weeks by Gordon Brown will also fail and until the NHS is no longer run by the government and financed by tax payers' money it will continue to fail.

I was heartened to see the Freedom of Information exemption for MPs come second - this must not be allowed to happen and I have a suspicion Brown won't want this to tarnish his "non-spin" open honest government era too early on.
