Introdution


The three sections can be read in any order; that may well depend on where you are coming from? But please do take the time to read all three.

The Big Picture; the Aims and an outline of how to achieve them and how long it could take. It will need some years of meticulous preparation, but these Aims are perfectly achievable. We are one of (if not the) most tolerant and inventive of nations. We can have confidence in ourselves to see this through.

The Foundation Stone; the partnership at the local level between NHS professionals and the general public. We will no longer be “On Mute”! And more than that. This “devolution” sets clear parameters about what can best be achieved locally and what can only be managed at a national level.

The Political Damage; the driving force. Be under no illusion of the extent of it, nor how deeply the potentially fatal virus is now embedded. Our politicians will never tackle this; it is not in their interests, too many mistakes, too long to put right, too challenging. Worse, they are probably not even aware in the first place.

Thank you.
