It worries me because CHI is able to give very useful and exact information on doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals when they are being hired and there is good news, but when we ask harder questions like where services will be rationalised, we suddenly hear two things. First, CHI has no numbers. Second, where technology is making entire areas redundant, CHI will find other jobs for people to do. This has nothing to do with the people involved in CHI. Rather, it is the kind of thing that has gone on in the healthcare system for a long time. It ends up being a ratio of many administrators to not enough clinicians.
