IT IS an iron rule that major organisational change in the public sector ends up costing taxpayers a fortune yet seldom produces much of an uplift in services.
The massive reorganisation of the NHS brought in by Andrew Lansley is a case in point. Despite a pre-election promise of no more top-down health service revamps Mr Lansley pushed through the biggest set of administrative changes in the history of the NHS.
The fact that he was removed as health secretary last year can be taken as a tacit admission that he was not the safe pair of hands he had been billed as in advance.
Now we are learning just how much his blueprint cost us in terms of redundancy payments to managers who left jobs in one branch of the labyrinthine NHS structure only to fill vacancies shortly afterwards in another.
