That’s a lot of management structures that were being paid for by the taxpayer. [Management list](https://www.healthwatch.co.uk/our-staff) of just one. Whilst they look to have an important function of collating and analysing patient feedback, does it need that many people in management positions.

As someone who works in operations in the NHS. This statement is simply not true: “So many of the problems in the NHS come down to a failure to listen to patients.”

If it were up to some patients consultants would be handholding them from the GP surgery all the way through their time in hospital then tucking them into bed back at home.

It is true though that patient feedback should be more central and emphasised but make no mistake you absolutely need bodies in place who understand operational management and logistics better than Ann from Kettering. Yes there’s too many of these bodies which muddies the water, so they should be stripped back and made more efficient but some with specific expertise are more than required.
