THE TOOKE REPORT - FINAL EDITION 8 JANUARY 2008
The Witch Doctor searched for the word “commodity” in the Final Tooke Report. - No hits.
Then for the word “commodities” - 1 Hit.
Here is the extract:
The bold italics are mine.
“In formulating the necessary corrective action the Panel believes that a presumption of an aspiration to excellence is crucially important if the health and wealth of our society is to be maximised in coming decades. Both health and higher education are now global commodities. It can no longer be assumed that the enviable position that postgraduate medical education (and related biomedical research) historically enjoyed in the UK will be sustained unless such issues are addressed.”
Tooke has said it.
ASPIRING TO EXCELLENCE - FINAL REPORT
Like it or not, the concept of Health and Education as global commodities needs to be grasped by the medical profession because it will lead to some understanding of the background to the overall changes in the NHS plan.
These are difficult times for the medical profession in the UK.
These are more difficult times for patients.
It is good that Tooke has said it, because it may now bring it into the open.
Where it needs to be.
