The challenge Andy faced was coordinating more than one specialism. Renal by itself was fine, though shockingly inefficient compared to other renal units around the world, without exception. But linking renal with diabetic with general surgery when he broke a leg was an absolute shambles. Even though they were in the same hospital!
In Europe, it seems to me that the French system is considerably better and more efficient / patient centric than here. But that was true of Jamaica as well, which is a sad indictment of the way the NHS is run, not what we spend on it.
