Twice as many health managers as doctors as number of NHS bureaucrats soars

"I am romantic about the NHS; I love it. All I need to do to rediscover the romance is to look at health care in my own country." Donald Berwick, MD, head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The workforce of NHS penpushers grew eight times faster over the past six months than the number of doctors, figures reveal.

Oops.
