5000 shots per wedding? Are they getting an album or a flip book?

You may not agree with the sentiments but it is from the same page as the 'Myth' that Teddybare used for his post. The point being that he had suggested that the NHS has too managers in his first post then used information from a source that contradicted that point of view, independent information being good enough when it aligns with his worldview, ignored when it doesn't.

Oh no, not the too many managers myth being independently assessed.

Myth
The NHS is sometimes characterised as being over-managed, inefficient and wasteful.
The facts
Measuring the productivity of the NHS over time can be difficult, as full data on the volume and quality of the outputs and outcomes the NHS produces are not always available. However, a study by the University of York's Centre for Health Economics found that NHS productivity increased by 16.5 per cent between 2004/05 and 2016/17 compared to productivity growth of only 6.7 per cent in the economy as a whole. This averaged at a year-on-year growth in productivity of 1.3 per cent.

The NHS is one of the largest and most complex organisations in the world. Yet, evidence indicates that it employs relatively few managers, with one study recently suggesting that managers make up around 2 per cent of the NHS workforce compared to 9.5 per cent of ‘managers, directors and senior officials' in the UK workforce as a whole.

The NHS compares well with other health systems, coming 4th out of 11 systems for efficiency in the Commonwealth Fund analysis.

The NHS compares well with other health systems, coming 4th out of 11 systems for efficiency in the Commonwealth Fund analysis. It also compares well on other key indicators of productivity such as the average length of stay in hospital and the proportion of drugs that are prescribed in their (cheaper) generic form instead of the (more expensive) branded version.

There is no doubt that the NHS can do more to improve productivity and reduce unwarranted variation in how services are delivered. For example, Lord Carter of Coles estimated that reducing unwarranted variation in procurement and delivery of hospital care could save around £5 billion each year. The Getting it Right First Time programme has also shown that significant gains can be made by reducing variation in the delivery of clinical services.

At the same time, the NHS is operating in a context of intense pressure on services, with high levels of staff vacancies, growing waiting times for care and very high hospital bed occupancy. These factors combine to reflect a system that is ‘running hot', with little capacity to focus on improvement and efficiencies. Against this background, the government has doubled the annual efficiency target for the service from 1.1 per cent to 2.2 percent, aiming to deliver an annual saving of £4.75 billion without setting out a plan for achieving this.

Verdict
As the former Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Sajid Javid, said recently, the NHS is already one of the more efficient health services in the world, and evidence suggests it is far from being over-managed. While it can, and must, do more to improve productivity, it is hard to see how current efficiency targets can be met.

Karl is online so he might be having a play with things. I hope so, all the lines that separate the sections and posts have been missing on Safari for a week or so (don't know if that was intentional).

Click on their name or their profile pic. It looks like the little icon in the top left of that box is an upgrade on the online/offline/not sure dot.

I should have asked if it can be used without the motor. I think that's how the chap must have been using the Sky-Watcher, I can't find a video showing it. I think a Z plate and a fluid head would allow me to follow the path of the ISS just as easily.

I will need to be perfectly aligned if I pop a P1000 on it. Did you go for the laser version?

Hi Duggs,

What sort of results are you getting with the moveshootmove tracker? I was going to get a Sky-Watcher one but it looked a bit if a faff to set up and it put me off. I don't suppose it will track the ISS of which I am determined to get a decent shot that doesn't look like a radioactive Tie fighter.

Johnson isn't known for pulling out early.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
