NJ: NHS Risk Register

NHS Risk Register

JUSTIN:
For the past two years, the government has been playing an unorthodox game of hide and seek. The rules are simple - first you draft a dodgy piece of legislation, next you commission a report detailing exactly why the legislation is dodgy, before finally doing everything within your power to prevent your opponents from getting their hands on that said document.

Yes, I am of course talking about the aptly-titled NHS risk register; apt because if the NHS were a child; it would almost certainly be placed on the at risk register.

However, I'm delighted to announce that the game is now officially over! You see, I popped over to Westminster last night; performed a few... favours... and to cut a seedy story short - managed to obtain a copy.

Inside this very envelope, is the much coveted report which lists all the things which are mad, bad and dangerous about the NHS bill!

JUSTIN:
That's odd! It's just a piece of paper with the word 'everything' written on it!
