Apparently we are not allowed to know whether anyone has thought through all the implications of the reform of the NHS because the mere mention of some of the possible implications (eg control of epidemics and infectious diseases, response to major incidents, children at risk, evaluation and monitoring of drugs and treatment protocols) might scare the public. It is the idea of people like Ms Featherstone discussing these high risk areas with no transparency that scares me. <br /><br />GuanoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467119.post-62507257534621525192012-03-02T15:33:21.649+01:002012-03-02T15:33:21.649+01:00Your MP's comment suggests they don't know...Your MP's comment suggests they don't know what a Risk Register is. The worst case scenario might be the agregate of all the residual risks in a register, but their comment suggests they are making a basic error and identifying the consequences of risk and not the risks themselves.<br /><br />The Risk Register should identify the barriers, actual and potential, to implementing, in this case the NHS reforms and the management activities to mitigate them.<br /><br />Rather than cause alarm publishing the risk register(s)could actually increase confidence if they show that the Government knows what it is doing, but I am not betting on the latter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
