.@IsabelHardman has just unleashed @nedwards_1 to give his tour de force on the root causes of the challenges facing the NHS. Strap in... #NTsummit 
Is it about the level of spending? We're in the middle of the pack on % of GDP, but our GDP is low, so £ spend is low. But why? #NTsummit
Is the Treasury the blocker? Not thinking anything like long term enough. And that leads to our social care, workforce & capital issues. #NTsummit
So 1 implication (among many) that we need to talk far more about how we make better decisions rather than 'solving' individual policy questions. Trying to firefight with a bucket rather than working out how to build a fire engine is a bit pointless. #ntsummit
Social care a Grade A example of the issue not being the detail of the intellectual problem... but our institutions/norms not being up to make a difficult decision. #ntsummit
& if so, does it really matter what the Green Paper says if it doesn't deal with that basic problem? #ntsummit
Mini-thread on bullying & an even bigger problem. I wrote this on bullying in the NHS & #metoo for @NuffieldTrust reflecting on last year's #ntsummit. nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/view…
Two parts to the argument: bullying way too high, and not sufficiently part of the mainstream policy conversation. Idea was whether we could learn from #metoo in terms of calling out woefully unacceptable behaviour.
Where are we a year on? Not great. From #NHSStaffSurvey bullying metrics ⬆️ across the board. Not massive, but against a backdrop of everyone thinking they were too high to start with, that's not good. nhsstaffsurveys.com/Caches/Files/S…
