The Witch Doctor

The Witch Doctor is quite overcome by the number of consultancies employed by the Department of Health / NHS and is flabbergasted by the strange things they are being asked to do.

The Witch Doctor thought the NHS was to do with diagnosing, treating and supporting ill patients and advising the healthy how to keep healthy rather than acting as a kind of employment agency for psychologists and HR consultants.

The NHS PANTRY will eventually contain a log of all these “NHS Partners” that seem to be important ingredients for the new “NHS Plan.”
