Having learnt little from the problems caused by school league tables, now Wes Streeting looks interested in introducing hospital league table into the NHS.
Its just what a workforce already patterned by overwork, exhaustion & burnout, does not need.
With the NHS already losing staff as fast as it can train & recruit them, this just looks like one more body blow intended to strengthen the appeal of the private sector...
not so much a 'solution' as a further attack.

"naming and shaming" is the most toxic way to treat any kind of performance issues. It does absolutely nothing for morale (already at rock bottom in a service that I know and have loved all my working life) but it also completely fails to address the underlying underfunding and lack of investment in both NHS estate and in its most valuable asset, those workers at all levels who keep it afloat. And I know whereof I speak when it comes to both the NHS and toxic shame.
Yes, but its all too predictable that they would want to introduce it even if its demonstrably had toxic effects elsewhere its been rolled out.... its at times like thus that I have some sympathy for critics who want to label it 'neoliberal'.... as while I have my problems with the general use of the term, when it comes to the imposition of these sorts of management methods, it does have some analytical purchase.
