SIR – Now that the hospitals are to be run by general practitioners, whose expertise is in diagnosis and home treatment rather than surgery and aftercare, why not put the schools and the police service under the control of consortia of dinner ladies and traffic wardens, respectively?
After all, none of these groups has any training in finance, and we aren’t trying to save money, are we?
