Graph that goes down/up in 2012 is always social media related. That’s my base hypothesis.

Usually. I always remember when I coached the Y8 team from wood end and how we were a foot shorter than every team we played and two foot shorter than Blue Coat. All nutrition basically.

It's a snapshot of time, demographic changes etc, everyone is importing population and as well as indigenous who are conservative in aspirations ( less offspring) Numbers change?

It could be one reason. I said earlier, French children don’t eat the crap junk food that kids in the US and UK do.

You aren’t being literal, surely. Are you sure that you were actually playing year 8s.

The problem with penny pinching nonsense focused on winning Colin from Portsmouth is that it ignores all the extra costs down the line from things like this.

Not a literal foot, but noticeable taller/shorter yeah. One of those experiences that radicalises you as a teacher like when you first meet a kid stealing food.

I imagine if you played Blue Coat now you probably wouldn’t notice the difference.

Saw a couple of minutes of that flicking through the channels. Wasn't planning to watch it as I assumed it would be the same old thing but looked like it could be interesting. Will have to go back and give it a watch.

Good to see Wesley with some original ideas:

Zero tolerance for failure under package of tough NHS reforms

Health and Social Care Secretary will outline how government and NHS leaders have a duty to patients and taxpayers to get the system working well.
www.gov.uk

Though to be fair this sounds OK, however, it's likely that the only way to achieve surplus is to cease provision of some services:

High-performing providers will be given greater freedom over funding and flexibility. There is little incentive across the system to run budget surpluses as providers can’t benefit from it. The reforms today will reward top-performing providers and give them more capital and greater control over where to invest it in modernising their buildings, equipment and technology.

NHS England is part of the problem, not the solution:

Deep dives into poorly performing trusts will be carried out by the government and NHS England to identify the most pressing issues and how they can be resolved.

Correct - this report acknowledges stunted growth due to under 14's being fed junk food shite all the time

Major report highlights impact of Britain's disastrous food policy

The Broken Plate is the Food Foundation's flagship annual report showing the state of the food system and the huge challenges we face in ensuring everyone in the UK can afford and access a healthy and sustainable diet.

Isn’t a lot of that what the whole Trust regime was supposed to allow?

I have seen most of the rest before as well.

More bureaucracy and performance gaming incoming.

Interesting how much more expensive the low carbon foods we will have to eat to achieve the governments new reduction target are. Add that to the increased energy costs we all face (despite the promise of a £300 p.a. reduction) and we will all be broke.

But Keir doesn’t want to tell us how to live our lives

The internal market, I suppose it's an extension of that. It's all bollocks though really as it is premised on patients as consumers.

The internal market - a complete waste of time and money. Contracts set up for less activity than required, loads of effort put in by Trusts to claim as much income as possible, even more effort by commissioners to avoid having to pay for what work in excess of contract had been done. Disputes, dispute resolution processes - all adds up to loads of administrators making it look as if the NHS is full of managers.

Should just give the money to the providers and tell them to get on with it!

Surely the biggest problem there is piss poor graduate salaries

If people have post grad qualifications and are on minimum wage something is very wrong
