We support the conclusion of the Healthcare Commission’s report that the NHS has made real progress in tackling hospital ‘superbugs’.
The Euro Consumer Health Index should carry its own health warning pointing out that anything but the broadest comparison using their figures is meaningless.
The change to the rules on paying for private care announced by the Health Secretary Alan Johnson is a welcome move to address an issue that threatened to seriously undermine confidence in the NHS says the NHS Confederation.
These figures are really encouraging and show what the NHS can achieve given a period of stability.
