Does a pilot go on forever? What is the timescale of these if something is working? I remember making reference to a hospital I know where people in their late 70s were presenting with cocaine at the weekends. This was a recurring thing. The hospital came up with an initiative whereby they put someone in who was working with the local drug services. It gave people who were clearly in addiction a pathway. It is common sense but had not been done up to then. I am not aware if that was rolled out anywhere else. The frustration that everyone has is we do not hear the positive things happening in the health service but constantly hear the negative. If something works, what is the timescale for pilots like this?
