This government always talks about "modernising" the NHS, "modernising" the welfare state, "modernising" education. Surely "modernising" merely means to "make modern", it doesn't mean that it will be any better than anything in the past. It's like saying that modern art is "better" than 16th Century art. Am I the only one who notices this?

you are right if you like something then that's good
government means to take away practises that cost too much money
and of course centralise control to them
some things were a step backwards in efficiency like *managers*
instead of matrons they had different goals one was to save money the other to give quality

I agree. They waste huge amounts of money reorganising when that money could be used to fix what is broken and update where neccessary to utilise the new. The government wasted millions on new computer programming that just did'nt work, then they decided to use the same company to order yet another huge disaster waiting to happen. It's us paying for it all - in the name of progress - I don't see any progress.

When politicians say "modernise" they mean "change" as they cant admit their failures.
Beware of politicians language.
