Arbitrary sackings.Passing of blame.Ill thought through, short term, reactive reforms.Out of context of under investment for years. Response to singular crisis without strategic vision needs for range future challenges.Preempting inevitable public enquiry. mol.im/a/8638193
Better to listen,learn other countries, consider what long term public health trends,lessons from public enquiry & invest in a public health, prevention, social care & NHS that has what is needed & capacity to deal with expected & unexpected. A once in a life time opportunity.
Knee jerk,reactive,shortterm reforms that fail to listen or learn lessons from past, present crisis & future trends will be wasted opportunity for needed reform public health,social services & medical care.Learning lessons & commitment to real investment needed is the opportunity
Yet there is a potentially opportunity, as is born out of such tragic crisis to listen,learn,reform & invest in a public health, social care & medical care that is equitable, inclusive, can meet needs of future decades & have surge capacity to prevent, prepare & respond to crisis
There is such an opportunity for a reforming, bold, strategic visionary administration & government. A moment out of crisis to seize. A unique opportunity to bring a country together across political divide.
As COVID shows few things could be more important
