Yorkshire has a wonderful tradition of turning out great writers, and the Halifax Evening Courier reports that Dr. Davies' is the co-author of a book entitled, "Putting Patients Last: How the NHS Keeps the Ten Commandments of Business Failure."
The book is currently circulating among the highest echelons of Government.
It says frustration among NHS staff has become endemic, while 10 years of centralized policies designed to improve care have had the opposite effect.
Speaking to the Courier, Dr. Davies, the chairman of the Yorkshire faculty of the Royal College of General Practitioners, said: "The NHS has been hijacked by politicians who do not know about the health service.
"Doctors are constantly being told how to do their jobs by people who have little understanding of what is involved in medicine.
"It's putting professionals under pressure and it has a debilitating effect on what can be achieved."
Do we want this kind of health care in America?
