Unions have been warning for years that crazed reorganisations and a ?20 billion "efficiency" programme - cuts in laymen's terms - are having a disastrous impact on the ability of NHS England to deliver front-line care.
The market model has created instability across the service and led to cost-cutting measures that are more about the bottom line than patient care.
Yesterday's report from regulator the Care Quality Commission that certain hospitals are struggling more than others to deliver the goods should not be used as a further stick to beat the NHS and its workers with.
