Unified WDC calls for county to take NHS to task (From Bucks Free Press)

• "So we have the undignified sight of WDC Councillors calling upon BCC Councillors on the OSC-Health Committee to do what they are already required to do, i.e. "to hold the PCT to account" and then adds the additional caveat "for not taking into consideration non-clinical views".
  -
  How should this be interpreted? Are "non-clinical views" any opposing or supporting views expressed however weakly these views are supported by facts / evidence?
  -
  The changes being proposed are aimed at improving clinical outcomes for all of the people of Bucks. We do not have a segregated NHS South Bucks and NHS North Bucks; the Bucks PCT is tasked with providing healthcare to all of the people of Bucks which will provide the best clinical outcomes assessed using professional expertise supported by facts / evidence whilst using the resources available to them. Unless I have been hearing / reading information different from that being offered to others this is what they have been attempting to do.
  -
  Stewart George is - to my mind, rightly - indicating that the conclusions reached at the end of the consultation process will be arrived at with the objective of providing healthcare to all of the people of Bucks which will provide the best clinical outcomes assessed using professional expertise supported by facts / evidence whilst using the resources available to them as qualified by input from the people of Bucks which is similarly supported by facts / evidence.
  -
  Hopefully they will not be influenced by 'the loudest voices' expressing their views unsupported by facts / evidence.
  -
  The WDC Councillors, our Wycombe MP and the BFP could be seen as merely grandstanding with the objective of enhancing their image amongst a sub-section of their South Bucks electorate which they hope will enhance their chances of re-election or sale of copies of the BFP.
  -
  Or they could - more charitably - merely be being short-sighted!"
