NHS turns to US sitcom 'Scrubs' for new policy ideas......

Patients to be allowed to comment on performance of GPs on NHS website.

Anyone who is familar with the hospital sitcom 'Scrubs' wil know that this was the main story line in Season 7, Episode 6 'My Number One Doctor', where the doctors compete to be the patients favorite in an online site. Which incidentally was re-aired (again)in the UK a few days ago.

It shows what a state the NHS is in when it has to rely on US scriptwriters for their policy ideas. We will have to start looking out for more of this as the Government and Whitehall are completely out of ideas (Not that they had many in the first place).

How many other Departments are using TV as a source of their policies?

Here is the episode in question....
