The Resident Doctors' dispute sums up a dysfunction in the management of the health service; a focus on costs not benefits;
we're in a situation where there is both a shortage of doctors (not least due to an ongoing exodus of doctors from the profession) *and* a pool of doctors unable to complete their training or get jobs in the NHS.
Only when the health services is run as *health* service & not an accounting identity where costs are the focus will anything be resolved!
